Simple graphic would look brilliant as a very large print.

Great shot...

Thanks Gerry. The image was shot on 120 BW and latter hand coloured ( traditionally with pigment inks )

Hmmmm really nice image. Simple is powerful.

Always good to look up... Real nice image.

Beautiful image... where is this?

Cool idea, makes for an interesting study, the shadows and play of shapes ... the hand looks like its almost a tango dancing across the floor. Man I looked at your work, you have travelled. Great work...

Classic image.

Supriyo ... real nice balance to the image, offsetting the water movement to the rock mass... You have a good eye for balance and composition. I find I take for ever to set the tripod on a landscape or nature study. What the viewer never knows is how much work it takes to go to these places and find the image amongst the world of nature. And I agree with Stephane's comment regarding BW. For me sometimes it's colour and sometimes it has to be BW. Nice shot.

Supriyo... On the weekend I was going to look through a bunch of folio's... I was looking forward to browsing your work... but I'm sitting at home watching some silly film and then decided to check my emails. Thanks for your support. A complement from you is a compliment.

 

You have a wide range, and you have a good eye, this image is excellent. I'm trying to get motivated to do a series but its hard because I can't find the people around me who are interesting... maybe I have to wait. New Zealand is good landscapes, but towns and places are bland. Talk soon... very cool shot. Thanks

Igor... thank you man.

Giday Supriyo... much appreciated. Thank you

You have a good eye, the shot/ image rests beautifully in the frame. Colours, exposure all working. Nice work.

Stunning.

Very inviting image, I want to escape on that boat, or perhaps I just arrived. Where is this, the castle or building on the waters edge all tells a story, great opening shot for a movie. Nice work Mark.

Excellent portrait, great use of space and the use of the hands, quite intriguing, good photographic theatre.

Thank you for your comments, much appreciated.

Warren .. Wow this would look great as a huge print... really pleasing image to start the day. Good energy and well shot. Thanks

Thanks Gerry ...

Romania... it had to be somewhere magic. Nice work.

Is this a festival, or is this just another day in the life... very interesting image. Thanks

Gianni What a shot, I read your comments re the greetings etc... that image will be with me for sometime, it tells a big story. I like the image and I like how you captured it. I keep looking at that face. I bet he doesn't complain about the weather. Great Shot.

An old sea warrior, maybe even an old Viking or pirate for sure. Good shot, the light the expression, excellent, you can almost hear his gravel voice.

Sweid ... I like the composition, the back turned and that expression... wow. Interesting title, the whole idea of existing in this modern soup of lost reality, you captured it right there... that's what I see when I look at this image. What was the shot for, is it a series or for an exhibit????

The lighting is simple, Film Noir needs no further explanation, except I used the theatre of lighting to divid the image into its two stages... each character on their own stage, in their own world. Typical Film Noir technique. As for Pierrot, Black and White customer character, and its a BW series, colour is another medium.

 

But I am disappointed that someone would attack the judges for their efforts, and the work of some twenty weeks of submitted images, when I looked back I was impressed by the diversity and talent of that work... interesting that the people who make positive comments are the people who have the most talent, as I checked to see who was saying what, I was very impressed with the work of many many people.
