Perfect. Don't change a thing. Much Admiration, Bob.
Artist Reply: naw, I wont alter it any more than I already have. (enhanced the contrast a taste and cropped it for maximum effect). Thanks for the view.
What i first see in this great photo,is 2 things...the first,...is that the left mountain is kissing the right mountain,i defintely see a face,not sure ,if this is a she ,that gives the kiss to him,or he kisses her...but ,DEFINITELY A KISS!!! :-)..Do you see that ?jhon ...did someone else saw this... ?....The second thing that i saw here....stay with myself actually for now,perhaps in future i'll show you,or other artists here in AW,what i meant...I saw it yesterday,in the most suitable time to see this,for me,(was too tired to comment)POWERFUL,YET SENSITIVE PHOTO.
Artist Reply: Nira...your critiques are always so deep and perceptive...thankyou for your thoughts and for your vision. You are amazing.
Not sure where John S-F saw his waterfall (!) - I see one arch wonderfully framed by another, like the doors we pass through in life. Great atmosphere, a very special place. Don't ever reveal the location to MacDonald's!!!! p.s. the price is rather out of my league!!!
Artist Reply: the photog may have accidently added a few zeros...
Amazing capture. It's a great feeling not only to be at the right place at the right time to view such a wonder, but to capture and share this moment with others.
Great photograph, John...perfectly composed, love the way the slopes play across the vertical symmetry! A great photographer as well as a great artist, of course!
Of course, now you've posted this it won't be long till the evil clown finds out where this is. That golden M is nicely symmetrical too, so it might sit just right on those rocks ;)
makes for a great poster, bro, but i might have to double-check my wallet and the back of the sofa for that kind of money
Artist Reply: yes... pretty cheap for such a snapshot...
;)
A Professional Photographer I am not. But, I do know what grabs my soul...and this is one of them. A great lesson in perspective...Thank-you John....Charmaine
Artist Reply: Charmaine, that is very possibly the nicest thing anyone has said to me all day. Not sure I deserve such praise, but anytime my work touches someone's soul...I jump up and down for at least 10 minutes and do a little jig. By the way (secret) I am not a pro shooter either. Just snap whats in front of my lens if I am lucky enough to remember to grab my camera on the way out the door.
Great color-might have been difficult to achieve in a shadowed situation with bright light opposing. The repeating arches , the lines leading in to the arches, the small puddle repeating the light , all contribute to a wonderful composition.
Artist Reply: thnx julie. always a pleasure to grab your attentions.
