Re: French connection
Love the composition, the 'leading lines' work for me on a lot of levels. Was the wall entirely devoid of detail as captured or did you push it there during post processing?

Re: French connection
cneeda, Kaskais chooses not to reply to posts but I do agree this is a stunning image. The only thing I can fault (for me) is that I would have cloned out the cladding to the left. That is academic however because I would never have captured this shot in the first place

Re: French connection
Great shot, and very unusual. The only thing is, for some reason it seems more natural to be flipped horizontally. Great shot though.

Re: French connection
I really like the way his images are reduced to the bare essentials. The cladding doesn't bother me, the extreme contrast between the wall and the person in the foreground are almost too much though.

In my experience, with Kaskais, the man almost certainly was there. Originally Posted by carregwen

Re: French connection
I knew I had asked that before. I can't see the post in firefox or explorer until I click on 'here'. I'm having that kind of week
Sorry to torture you.

Re: French connection
No worries Chris, I had a day like that today; I deleted the entire Hall of Fame thread!
The second "here" (in post #10) maybe better, assuming it'll work on an iMac.
Cheers,
