Gorgeous. Your eye is so good. The shadows are dark, but actually like it that way. Its a piece of art, therefore subject to high contrast as part of the photographer's vision. I probably would have done the same... but I apparently am a big sucker for blown detail. :)

I'm brilliant btw. How are you? Incidentally, I think you should post this.

Love love love your style.

Absolutley love this.. Didn't think it was great until I saw the big version. Very nice!

I love the dark shadow and light on the wood

Amazing shot and processing.
Congratulations.

je découvre cette photo, elle est magnifique, cet abandon, et ton choix d'un sépia, bravo

I like the point of view, and how the conditions of the day are returned. Greetings.

nice (the light, the compo, the minimal style, the symbolism). ml

I absolutely second that. Awesome shot!

I really like this. It shows your love affair with your camera. This would go well in eyes, too. You have such soft pretty eyes. No wrinkles, I'm a little envious!

you have a classical and beautiful face. reminds me a bit of uma thurman...and I love her special beauty - like yours.

cheers, calisto

Muy bonita fotografia, creo que el equilibrio de tonos y contrastes es adecuado con lo que trasmite. Enhorabuena. Saludos

Me, I adore. I don't know how you carried out this photograph, but the result is there; an invitation for travel. The light under the bird is excellent. Greetings.

This is so captivating one shoudn't even think about the picture. I'm caught into it, that's great! :)

this pic is about "senses" for me. It was a good idea to blur the main theme... cause now we(viewers) have to observe and find out the story of the photo.
And the smaller man gives balance for this composition.
Title could be: "The meeting":)

I would really like to hear your technicals for this image. I love the depth of field and the depth to the tones. I would only add that I would like to see a little burn in on the top left side; just to add some detail to the image edge.

shallow DOF with all of the lines leading us to the center really makes this image work. awesome, I don't think I would change anything.

Perfect picture for a photography assignment about line and shape. Perfectly captured, great job!

Sorry, Maria, the DoF really doesn't work for me, because I am barely aware that anything is in focus. This could be really nice if there was an obvious are of well illuminated and in focus foreground and the person and sky area were out of DoF. This just looks soft everywhere. The only part that appears to be in focus in a very small area of the handrail about 1/3 of the way up the image.

I like a lot.
Great composition.
I've seen your website and I like your photos. Congratulations.

I like the small DOF, really good made.

Good work.

It could almost have been frightening, if the boy had not smiled (or maybe I have too much watched "The birds" ;-)
But he seems to be very happy, so no worry, and the scene is really nice, very well seen !

Great shot.

Superb. This one has my vote.

Though I'm not sure to understand why you blur the background that way, I still like it very much.
The contradiction within the idea, maybe... :)

I know what Dao means, but for me it's not so important here that we have super "bokeh" out of focus. The interest for me is in how it's turned upside down. What is small becomes BIG and what is big becomes small
