I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.
Positives: Great image - one that has emerged from a definite vision. A vision that you pull off in spades. The high contrast and dark sky works perfectly to set just the right background for the iconic figure. And how important that figure is; without it, we have a strangely processed, fairly vanilla landscape image; but with the figure, the image soars.
Critical stuff: The crop - using my hand, I think cropping above the bottom left rock element may have made the image even stronger.
Overall: Inspired work. |
