It took me all of a second to realise what this is all about, a credible advertisement indeed!

Comment by posthumous:
Yes, I will.

Oh, I liked it better before I figured out it was an elephant. But this still hangs in my gallery.

An ingeniously composed photo of ones behind. Has a touch of sadness to it, considering the title, wonderful!

Originally posted by bmartuch: This is very cool. I think it would be better without the vignetting.

Originally posted by posthumous: vignette seems too heavy to me but I love the composition.

Originally posted by insteps: I don't necessarily dislike the heavy vignette but I'd be interested in seeing the natural image.

I don't know why I like severe vignettes so much; they're just an affectation when done to this extent, and I know it.
But I actually like the brutality; the uncompromising effect created. In this photograph I was interested in using the preposterously excessive lower edge vignette to mirror the shapes and weights of the background hills. Making the truck (bakkie) become a part of ΓΆ€“ or an echo of ΓΆ€“ the landscape. I did a horse like that once too, though with a less extravagant vignette.
