hi Radim

If I wouldn't see the previous one this would be great for me. but now I'm comparing those two in my mind (even if i don't want to:) ) and this is not so perfect (for me of course). tones, colours and format of previous suits me much better.
it is obvious that of two similar photos in very short time one must be better (for every person individualy)
of course it is still very good work.

greetings
Grzegorz
PS I'm wondering what is your new recipe for tones.... :)

Was this actually taken in Sydney? I'm surprised such a feature exists within the city. A beautiful image, love the silvery and metallic look you've given to the shot. Great stuff.

Amazing picture of these rocks - this is a superb landscape shot.

I love the color scheme and the smoothness of the water.
Cheers,

Hello Radim,

The photo is attracting the look. The composition is good as all the pillars are quite separated and the part of the sky is well adapted: the clouds really give the feeling of space to the photo.
The long exposure put a nice blur and smooth to the sea which in addition with the blue and grey colors put a real atmosphere.
My only criticism is I would have liked to see some details on the pillars which are quite full dark. But I must recognize that the exposition of such kind of photo is very difficult.
Thanks to have shared,

Yves.

Hello Radim! Whatever color secret you may have, it came out fantastic, and was worth evey effort you had. For me, it is a true piece of art and I would immediately hang it up on my wall. This is a compliment :) It all is so calm and gives a relaxing moment for my eyes. Wonderful. Barbara.

Nice view and peace color tone!

What a superb exposure to make such a terrific image. The light on the still water, the blue tones, and the dark reflections make this a slightly mysterious and mysitfying picture. I agree with one of the other comments, that the pillars perhaps deserve some detail, even if only faint. But it's nonetheless a very evocative and atmospheric photo.
Regards,
Andrew

Nice cold tone, this view has something metalic very well done. The mirror effect great and quite irreal.
Well done,
Nice regards,

That is art. Congratulations! Dennis

Hi Radim,

I love the tone .. the almost metallic starkness of it really amplifies the other elements in the scene .. wonderful image.

take care,

John

hi radim

that's very cool... great effect. i love the texture the water seems to have. looks very soft. interesting play with light and shadow too. not a big fan of the frame but that's really minor. great job!

daddo (28748) 2007-04-19 5:15

Hi Radim. A haunting impression. Seems like some world of lost souls.Eerie colours and light.And of course the stillness you created with the 30 seconds exposure. Regards. Klaudio.

mlopes (494) 2007-05-25 18:30

superb photo Radim.
It's an abstract painting made with light.
Great control of exposure.
I see you're using some Lee glass, what's your opinion?

ozpaul (288) 2008-01-08 16:08

Seeing your latest effort reminded me that I hadn't really looked through your photos for a while ... and time brings a chance for reflection/s, which I think are very important to this composition, but then again so is the lighting, objects, composition etc... all superb and assembled like an art installation. Though I suspect it was not as cold as it looks?

I love the atmosphere... a place for pure meditation
really good shot
