bumping back to top

bump back to top

Sandy · November 20, 2006

I really like the shot. My only suggestion would be to try cropping the photo at the top.

Thanks...I will see how it looks cropped a bit more....or I may just have to cross the construction fence and get a weee bit closer.....210mm wasn't close enuff for my taste and i do not have a TC yet.

I like this shot!
Good idea w/ the bump. I didn't even see this.

I'd try to get closer on the shot and show the detail of the strings.

Very cool capture!

Thanks...I do believe i will re shoot this weekend I will have cross a construction fence and a little bit of river (about 3 feet of river and rocks to get around fence...been awhile since I crossed a barrier to get photo) to get closer....

wonderful i liked it
i agree if you go closer we can see some more detail but still its like it is bagging from above . Is it ? what is it ?

Swartzy · November 20, 2006

Concur with the others
will wait to see the next version.....make it BIG Art. That's a cool sillouette.

Awais it is a Statue of an American Indian titled "KEEPER of the PLAINS" by deceased Artist Black Bear Bosin.....It sits on the confluence of the Little and Big Arkansas Rivers....This is sacred ground to the Indains and Protects downtown Wichita from tornados...The confluence of the rivers protects the city not the Statue.

Thanks for asking....everything is steel including the strings.

Thanks......Gonna get as close as I can without being notice by our cities finest......

I'd crop so that his head will be 2/3 in height and his figure 1/3 on the right...

Thanks Yuri..I appreciate it....

ChrisJ · November 21, 2006

This is a really cool shot. I wish the sky were a bit more dramatic, but I still like it.

This Is What Can Happen When You Trespass

This is my KEPPER of the PLAINS reshoot

Does it work for this challenge---#78

clik pic for exif......

Thanks for all of the PRECEEDING and FORTHCOMING C&C....Yes the sky really was this color.....it started changing quickly and even got darker and ominous but I had changed positions to try and actually get the setting sun behind him....to do that I need to be inside of a brick walled area with high tension transformers and wasn't sure I wanted to do that

simple · November 26, 2006

beautiful!

one thing: looks a little off though... I want to reach out and straighten the picture... but that's just me

good job.

Wow, I really like the improvement on this shot - the composition is striking and so is the sky.

Thank you Quitarita....I appreciate it....

Jeff Geoghan · November 27, 2006

Impressive improvement just by re-orienting your shot and bringing in the sky. It's a keeper!

LynD · November 27, 2006

What a great shot. I liked the first one, and love the second one! The color coming through the fringe almost glows. Might try cropping just a little off of the bottom so that the proportion of sky to image is more like the first shot. Beautiful.

Art Scott · November 27, 2006

Thanks Lyn and Jeff....gonna sleep on final crop for entering....Thanks again
