Love the sense of motion here. The man is a blur but that motion seems very appropriate to the mood here - a dark running man feel; a man in motion running from dark thoughts or his mood is dark as he runs from his emotions. Also by lucky capture (or planned) the clouds seem to radiate out from the center of his position in the frame thus helping draw the eye and keeping it focused on the moving man. I like the dark contrast and tones here for it adds to the mood. While I said that I get a capture of a dark man running I also get another 'story' capture from looking at this image. A ghostly figure that we only get a glimpse of as it passes by from the corner of our eye. If we then look full on at the scene I get the feel that the 'ghostly' figure would just vanish. Nice job with mood and lighting, I get two 'stories' from studying the photo.
No wonder you have 9 faves already on this image - it's utterly amazing. The textures in the sand, the clouds, and most especially the elusive running figure. Quite simply wonderful.
Wow, this is my favorite so far. Really great image. I really like how the motion all moves to the runner. The lines in the clouds onthe R angle dowwn to him, the clouds on the L tend to do the same, the waves on the L are in motion while on the R tend to be calmer. I like how he is placed to help move from the foreground up into thru the midground (ocean) and then into the sky. Very dramatic shot.
you have great imagination and an interesting 'eye' .. !! ..:) .. love this photograph, and the way everything is so dark ... the clouds and the sea are excellent and sort'v give a softness and contrast to the shoreline ... it looks like rocks, but it could be sand in the darkness .. wotever ... that person running out of focus is totally awesome, he/she/it!! looks like a suggestion of a person .. the border works ..
Like we really need you and Nixter combining forces!
yes, i definitely double that!
this is really not fair that you pull out these kickass nz pictures one each day. how are we supposed to beat these? not that it's not hard to beat your street pics either, but i'm guessing at least even you can't come up with brilliant street pics each and every day ;)
i would have faved this, but i have a feeling there might be many more fantastic ones coming up?
Like we really need you and Nixter combining forces! Very nice image. I'm perhaps a wee bit distracted by the white bit on the right but still love the pic.
