This image has been selected for discussion. It is not necessarily the "best" picture the
Elves have seen this week, nor is it a contest. It is simply an image that the Elves found
interesting and worthy of discussion. Discussion of photo.net policy, including the choice
of Photograph of the Week should not take place here, but in the
Site
Feedback forum.
Before writing a contribution to this thread, please consider our reason for having this
forum. We have this forum because future visitors might be interested in learning more
about the pictures. They browsed the gallery, found a few striking images and want to
know things like why is it a good picture, why does it work? Or, indeed, why doesn't it
work, or how could it be improved?
So, when contributing to this thread, please keep the above in mind. Address the
strengths, the shortcomings of the image. It's not good enough to like it, you should
spend some time trying to put into words why that is the case. Equally so if you don't like
it, or if you can't quite make up your mind.
Let's make sure this forum is a wonderful learning resource for future photographers!
Thank you and enjoy!

This is an extraordinary photo, although the entire folder is quite remarkable. What I like here most of all is the golden net as well as the reflection in the water. Congratulations.

This photo has everything you would want and nothing that is unnecessary. The blue color of the shirt and the backlighting are tremendous.

This is one of the best of this extraordinary sequence of dream shots, speaking to our imagination, so far away from the real world. Something to dream about.

If you crop the image to the left of the figure, it is still very good, but what makes it spectacular is the lead-in line of the boat, taking us from darkness into the light.

I like me the photo, you manage very good the shadows, lights and color, the reflex in the water is good detail anyway for me is a masterpiece

real light?
absolute 7/7, rarindra. question, though: was this really how you captured it? or was the light effect tweaked in post-processing?

Superb image! Great light! I was only wondering how did you managed to "tame" the natural light!? Well Done!

I love the transition from dark to bright light,love the colors,the blue contrasting the bright orange,love the movement.It's a dream
