I slightly offput by the use of selective saturation. Otherwise, this is a nice shot and certainly fits the theme.

I keep coming back to look at this, as it is very well done and a terrific composition/idea... I'm wondering if it would pop a touch more to perhaps up the contrast slightly on the BWface shot, I love the clarity and cleaness of the highlights in the bodies, and her hair works well in synchronzation with that, but somehow his face is a touch lost in comparison...
like this very much however

dcrphoography: There was no selective saturation here, the whole picture was desaturated.

It is a real framed picture.

Heavenly...

great shot

Outstanding image...it must have been spectacular in person.

Thank you. It was more spectacular in person than the photo conveys, actually.

nice rays!

My kind of photo – a beautiful image. The cloud refelections in the wet sand are superb.

I'd love to go back and take more of these... Grand Bahama Island is great. ;-)

Love it

Yeah... this is really cool.

Thanks ; )

This is great! Out of interest, did you desaturate the background or alter the tone of the chair in a layer. I like the way the colors of the chair standout subtly from the street behind it.

Great shot!

Chris

I corrected the colors from the usual reddish shots I get from shooting at night, desaturated a little and adjusted the contrast.

Brilliant

About time it's featured ;).

This photo came up when I was voting for symmetry images...I'm not kidding.

Yay, my first featured picture! Thank you for the comments everyone. Hope I get more and more constructive comments on my future posts.

Yes, this is top notch. I love the relaxed nature of the face...it does not seem posed. A genuine feeling of emotion here.

I love the intensity of the stare. I am glad to see this featured. Great work.

Nice Picture Oliver. You look so natural on this picture. It's always great to see how good you can act in front of a camera ! Dont give up ;) !

lovely. that is all just lovely.

nice work... many people make blurry images on accident, but this looks very intentional and it works wonderfully with the "moving subway". very good.

Thank you Ben... In fact, when you are stuck in a bus with a camera for 45 minutes, you make a lot of experiments ;). I only had my point and shoot back then, but this photograph really makes me believe that it's not about the camera one owns, it's all about the idea a photographer can have in mind.

Very nice work! I feel the movement.
and very true...it's in the photograhers mind not the camera they own.

good job, i love the colors

Really great dynamics in the clouds' movement. I think those lights are just a bit too bright and really steal the focus quite a bit.

Yeah, I think you're right Jason. However, the shooting was such a delightful experience that the pictures all seem so great to me. It was shot during my trip to the Bahamas, and it was the first time I tested long exposures of the ocean.

Thank you for commenting!

Catch 22 with the light, without it you wouldnt be able to see the motion in the waves.

Nice work

Thanks! The colour version of this shot can be found here.

no html hu? here then. www.blindphotography.ca/index.php?showimage=151

so lovely

Can be too much depth of field for my part,
I prefer the colorized version, color are so beautiful :D

Cool concept, really! I would have liked it a bit sharper, a meter away from the wall, to diffuse the shadow. Still, the light and angle work great, neat picture.

Yeah, I too like the concept. I also like where you are in the frame, but I would dodge out the shadow completely, and let the background go completely light gray.

I love the idea, the shot is great, although I wish the top of your hair weren't cut off.... or more of it were? This is one of my faves so far.

This is a clever shot. Very nice!
