Is that hdr ? There's seems to be a kind of glow around the guy ? It's a great picture for this theme. But I'll probably have choose to try to show a little more water.

It is indeed HDR, good eye. The blur was a product of the blending, but it left it to emphasize the solitary and calmness.

nice one, stones are too important in my advice

Nice HDR, maybe without blur it will be better.(Personal Advice)

Yeah the bit of blur around him grabbed me immediately rather than the subject. But good composition.

too much gray for me
nice idea

I would prefer the picture more space in the direction of the view of the person, the person 1/3 of the right could make it with more tension.
And it needs a lot more of contrast

All very good comments, thank you. On my copy I have fixed the contrast to decent levels. As for the view that is a very good point, I have another image where the subject is facing straight out, I will try to make that one work.

I agree with the others - a bit dark. Having the subject more to the left bottom with more of his view to the right. Maybe a bit more detail of his head as well - it almost begins to blend in with the clouds above. The setting and the idea are great.

I don't mind the darker exposure for the theme. I'd crop some of the top and put the person to the left to see the nothing he's seeing... Good image though.

i like it very much. because of the play with the colours, the image looks symmetric. good job!

Great lines in your photo. I really like it. The lighting is well done. Good capture

I agree, the lines give this a strong geometric look. I'm curious to know if the color cast resembles what you remember from the shoot.

Thanks a lot for your comments! But Willie, I'm sorry for my poor english but I don't understand want you mean by "the color cast resembles what you remember from the shoot"

Great shoot. I like the colors. A justified featured picture !

Wow !
Really great !

Definitely one of the most interesting in Symmetry that I've seen. Great job!

Thank you all again! Symmetry is on of our most popular topics when taking photos and it lies so much beauty and peace in symmetric photos...

I actually think the post-processing employed in this image works very well; it really makes the most of the metallic material of the walls.

Very nice capture.

Great photo - I agree with everyone else. Nice composition, nice work!

Yeah it creates a great sense of drama

Nicely done. The sky may be a tad unnatural looking, but I still really like the dramatic flavor you achieved.

Interesting shot. Good tone

I would like to see some motion in those sails. That would improve the shot.

You caught the fragility of new life here, to say the least! I like the soft focus with the exception of the head.

I really like it, but I agree I wish the closer bird's head was in focus.

Did u take behind a window ? Because it's look dirty on the top of ur pic..

yes the szenerie was behind a window.

Interesting. I like it. You can tell what it is (and by itself isn't interesting) but it still makes you think.

nice black and white
a don't realy like this crop

The shadow patterns are interesting, but there's something unsatisfying about the composition.

excellent, thank you for the comments. I was just trying to make this shot work and I realize things that I wouldn't have on my own. This place is great for that.

I see what you mean. Thanks for the comment (and the votes:)

really nice mood and composition - it's funny because the eye is going from right to left, really well done - i like the reflection in the water too !! great work

Thanks Jean. The water I didn't even notice until after the shot so it was a nice bonus:)

I want to walk to the left and re-shoot this so the telephone pole is way to the right or even out of the frame.

I debate cropping it to put the red light further to the right. I shot this in the car at 6 am as we were waiting for the light to change and then we moved. I would have liked to have shot the area more, but didn't have time to get back.

Great eye to see that. Are they both wearing the same hat?

@byutanner
I don't think so, but it's close enough.

superb shot, love this one.
do you speak hungarian, or did they speak english, that you understood them?

haha no I do not speak Hungarian, only köszönöm, igen, and nem. My brother-in-law studies in Budapest so he has a better idea, but sometimes you can just tell when people are not happy about something. Maybe they were saying something like...'why do these stupid english tourists find our hats so funny?' ;o)

This is amazing!! I really love it!

Good image and good thought. The one thing I'd point out is focusing on one rather than a cluster would be a more striking subject IMO, but good job.

i like it- Jason has a point-but still a lovely shot-great stuff Sher

Thanks Jason and Paul. I did play around with focusing on an individual one as well. Couldn't quite get the focus I wanted. I'll keep trying though - I appreciate the encouragement!

These are Red Maple seed pods - When I was a kid, we called them "helicopters"!

Wonderful colors!
