I don't know, but it appears that the underside of the arch is not illuminated by direct sunlight. Instead, it appears that sunlight bounced off something to illuminate the under side of the arch. Was that light reflected from rocks in the area, or were portable reflectors used instead? Or perhaps even a portable flash unit and a deep orange gel was used to light up the underside of the arch? Clue me in, please. In my opinion, it is a great shot, no matter what techniques were used.

This is an excellent photo from all aspects, and I think a lot of people will be taking home a limited edtition lithograph of this puppy! One sign that this image is great is the shear number of strong responses on this forum. All that remains now is to get it translated as artfully as possible into press CMYK color space. If you don't already know a trusted expert, I recommend you consult Dwane Elmore of Elmore Graphics: DLELMORE@aol.com

7/7.

And, it's "theatre in the round" of course. And, one patron is headed for the powder room, what a charming bit of reality that brings to the composition. Obviously you have a fine knack for identifying the decisive moment.

Many qualities merge to make an especially appealing shot.

Perhaps a little dust or haze obscures distant detail, other wise near perfect

It is very unusual to see an animal portrait of this quality and sensitivity.

Beautiful, the cross is a nice touch but doesn't overwhelm things.

The subtle color gradient(s) lift this dream-like image all the way to a seven in my opinion

April 26, 2003

The geometry and color contrast give a superb immediate impression. THe image continues to entertain with a sense of depth, awe, and mystery.

I think this has considerable class and many nice elemets, and I like the sense of space and depth it is able to confer. Is the horizon tilted just a little?

April 23, 2003

The limited depth of field, the unususal reflections, and the color conttrast team up here to make this image very special. How much of the effect was done achieved in an editing program?

I also think, "This is an excellent image IMHO. I would like to see just a bit of space between the models fingertips and the bottom of the frame".

This is a totally splendid example of fine art in photography. Decades ago, my father made a few simple B&W photos using painted light, so I think I can imagine the enormous amount of effort required to produce this image. All I can say is thank you for sharing your vision and inspiration.

Beautiful. Yes, a level horizon sometimes will look tilted, especially if there is an irregular shore line. I especially like and appreciate the composition, and if I must pick, I simply would desaturate the colors a tiny bit.

Way nice image. Um, I din't think the title "Big World" does it justice.

July 1, 2002

This is a very, very nice image.

Absolutely great!

This is a great photo for commercial art. It attracts and keeps my attention without giving me that "hit between the eyes" feeling. My rating for it is also an 8 and an 8.

Very lovely, and it attracts attention no matter what size it is. This is an advantage if it is to be used in advertising art.

I like the balance of foreground and sky, and about everything else, exactly the way it is....so don't mess with success. But was the sky really that color?

August 2, 2001

Marvelous composition and color, I gave it a seven. Atmospheric haze obscures detail at a distance. I think if this image could be cropped down from the top a small amount, it would be even more impressive.

August 2, 2001

Ooooh, ahhhhh, wow!

July 25, 2001

The lighting, sharpness, and depth of field are great, but it seems too severely cropped.

July 25, 2001

Your compostion shows several significant details of the bike, and more significantly it presents an excellent sense of depth and dimensionality.

July 25, 2001

The weather for this photo is too foggy and overcast for my taste. Also, the foreground seems too busy and distracts from the unity of the composition.
