Its a beautiful shot. I really liked the vertical framing and composition inside the frame. Truly beautiful. Keep taking those photos.

Its almost as though you have two pictures in here the uppr portion with the mysterious figure and then the lower portion with the crane....but it also works as whole....i really like it ..it has an air or mystery to it...

Cheers,

Kjell :-)

Its truly a work of art ...thanks for sharing ..

I love the way you framed this photo, it gives a sense of the massiveness of the rock arch. For some reason it also seems as though its liquid as well as solid, very nicely done :-).

Cheers,

Kjell :-)

Thank you for looking...yes it is very grainy and very very contrasty......and i agree i should have used a red filter....it definitely would have made it less contrasty...but i also thought i was shooting with a different film than i was...it was a 1600 ISO film which i suppose also didnt help any but i do like the almost painterly effect which it gives ....thanks again for the visit..

Cheers,

Kjell :-)

Its a beautiful image....keep taking those photographs....

Derek and Subhadip thank you both for your critiques. I believe the reason for the colour being so different is a mix of film (Kodak 400HD, it does some nice things to colours in cloudy weather), lateness in the day (around 1900hrs), apature (i cant recall what it was right now) but i really like the colour. Yes i agree it would have been nicer with more space to the right ...i should probably have taken a few steps back...:-), or at least to the side..:-). Thank you both again for viewing my photo...

This was taken last weekend in a snowstorm which we had here in the

Colorado Springs area...

This photo was taken on during while it was snowing out in South Park

Basin, CO. Critiques are more than welcome. Cheers, Kjell :-)

Thank you Andrew for your comment.....it did feel like whati can only imagine a tundra would feel like...cold and windy :-)

This reminds me of a pointillist painting ive seen in the Galleries in Washington DC and in some books....the colours are extraordinary....very beautiful work.

Cheers,

Kjell :-)

This was taken on January 2nd, on the Platte River, near Hartsell CO.

Criticism and comments are more than welcome :-).

Pulok, actually no i didnt mean for that to occur but i think it gives it a nice quality all the same :-)...thank you for your comments..

This was taken on the North Platte River in South Park Basin about 45

minutes west of Colorado Springs. January 2nd 2005, weather was

overcast and cold but still a beautiful day.

 

Constructive criticism/comments are more than welcome and if you have

the inclination please visit my gallery :-).

I just would like to thank all of you who commented above for the kindness of your comments. I truly do appreciate it especially after looking at some of the beautiful work which you yourselves do :-). Just keep on taking those photos to inspire others like myself :-).

I agree with Toni....i really like the sharpness in the photo....very well done...keep taking those photos :-)

Beautiful photograph.....:-)

Any constructive criticism is more than welcome :-).

This image was scanned by the developer to CD and the only difference

between the slide and the scanned image is a small increase in colour

depth. Comments are more than welcome....thank you.
