Outrageously and sublimely beautiful! What a SHOT!
Is this natural "rainbowing" at the base of the falls? I love the pumped up color. But...the REAL show here is the Stone People!
This is a killer shot, man. Thanks so much for putting this one out on the boards. I am richer for having seen this fine piece.
The sense of a true "audience" from the Stone People is very evident, and invokes the imagination into feeling that they truly ARE watching the show.
Excellent title, and excellent naming of those rocks as the Stone People. Wow, that was great thinking. Even the font on the image title is very fitting.
I love this one.
GREAT!
Editing, because I keep looking at this piece of art: The Stone People....there is a certain majesty there. The fact that you cropped the rocks very close to the edge adds a LOT to the displacement of them as a sort of ancillary audience to the spectacle going on. There is a certain singularity of repose in those Stone People shapes. Almost a reverence and a quiet sort of dignity. One could almost feel them as a race of people who have been extinct for some time, but have now come back as apparitions to give all of us a sense of the importance of mankind. To me it shows that we are merely a thread in the web of life.
This image invokes a lot of emotion. And the credit for that goes to you for thinking about the image and putting such a name as Stone People to the rocks. That was the catalyst that brought this image from excellent and into the realm of outstanding.
It is so great to see something new and fresh! If you don't mind, can you share whether you did much enhancement in post, or was that pretty much how you saw it??
Dang that's good. This one is just spectacular and needs to be on at least 1000 walls in 1000 homes. And big, as big as the files allow. I am not as eloquent as Larry,but I feel this is my favorite image posted here in quite a while.
Larry said it all for me. Very nice!
