What have you been up to, Hugo? Oh, now I see. This one is really exceptional, straw boats upon a sea of sand. This would make a nice fine art print. I guess I'll have to go to Death Valley and see if I can find a similar scene. This one should bring out the zen in us all!

Richard Thornton   {K:26442} 8/6/2004
Remember this one? My favorite of the three. It has less of the conventional dune image and more creativity ? the glorification of the common weed. I really like the coloration you've given it. If Mars had life then this would be how it looks. (7)

Lori Stitt   {K:75282} 3/18/2004
Here's one I haven't seen yet! I like this photograph VERY MUCH! I really like the rose color sand. Usually it tends to be grayish, or golden. This is nice, the ripples, the few straws poking through...very nice. It resembles water in a way! GOOD JOB, HUGO!

ps...thank you for your comments on 'Go Figure!!!'....I forgot to mention that the structure on the right side of the picture was actually part (small part) of the steam ship 'Berkely' docked next to it. I really went back and forth trying to decide wheather or not to leave it in. But it seemed vacant without it. (I agonized over it actually, as I tend to do..LOL) It was a 'draw'..

Hugo

This is an awesome photo. I like what you've done with the toning of the upper portion, it sure sets the mood for the subject.

Thanks for your comments about "Pier Review". You asked why I dropped out the right bottom frame. There was nothing to hide except more water and I wanted to give it that "commercial" or "post card" look. You can see the original (with the frame still in) at the comments section here: http://www.usefilm.com/image/282767.html

hugo,
a very intensive and strong detail delivering a direct feeling of heat and sand storm and the silence of the unfathomable greatness of the desert.

thank you very much for your comment on 'la pedriza'

Heel mooi qua kleur en compositie.. Alleen lijkt die kleur nogal onecht? Mischien een beetje te veel levels? Hij kleurt overigens wel mooi bij je "UseFilm Donor" logootje..;-)
Maar zondermeer een heel mooi plaatje..

Marcel Laurens   {K:3654} 1/8/2004
Hugo - wonderful patterns and tones and color... you commented on my "flutes" picture and the curve in the column. That curvature is actually designed and built into the column - not a camera thing. the ancient greeks designed their temples with columns that had a slight curvature in them to help with the visual perpsective of the facade. they believed it looked more natural than a straight column. sorry for my weak description - see the book "History of Architecture" by Sir Banister Fletcher for a better explanation. normal viewing of a building from the front it's not noticable, but from this unusual angle it's visible. there is a name for the curve, but i can't remember it... strange but true....

Massimo Di Maggio Massimo Di Maggio   {K:-53658} 1/8/2004
This is fantastic, it seems to be on the Mars surface, I like the signs on the sand and those little but strong grass groups, the colour is wonderful and the way how it vanishes to the horizon makes this image very magic. Bye Max

MaryBell    {K:32791} 1/8/2004
Like Fabio said about to drown but still hopeful...this looks very grainy (no pun intended) as if the scan weren't as good as you might want - I bet the original is much more stunning than this...

Simple, yet full of so much atmosphere... the pastel toning of the image adds a sense of calming and punches up the power of the soft lines and straws.
