I really like the effects applied here. I get the impression of an older oil painting. I like the square format, it really draws the eye down to the figure standing at the water's edge. Wonderful job!

That odd sky is the matter of this image, whose protagonist is undoubtably the centered figure and her shadow.

I like these photos which shelters some feel. This behoove for longer viewing. + nice effect 7/7

Excellent image, Lars! Really well done. It obviously feels like a painting. Just enough effect, not overdone. Great color palette, great feel, I would agree regarding the centered image, it really works for this shot. The steps in the sand add a nice mystery and create a story within the image. I will be visiting your portfolio to see what other images you have. You should be very proud of this shot, it really conveys emotion. Great work!

Excellent ... like it

Great tones, good PS work, I do like the overall image. I agree it is similar to an oil painting...which adds volumes to the mood. This is what digital is bringing us, a new art form where we can paint our own picture if we so desire. A plain raw image is fine right out of the camera, but artists and photographers alike should respect this.

Good work and best regards, Michael.

I do mine the words of Michael. A marvelous work.

I love the lighting and the textured effect. Is there any chance that you could describe the workflow on this? I like the square format very much.

Shooting mostly 35mm film format and recently digital SLR, I am surprised at how often I choose the square crop. My son has a Yashicamat TLR that I should ask to borrow sometime but digital is sooooo convenient that I may never get around to it.

At any rate, good photography is good regardless of the format or hardware. This is very good to say the least.

Excellent. Great work as always.

I'm happy you liked it :-) Here's another from that day..

This is a fine example of photo editing done right! The coordination of ideas and skills are blended perfectly. Those foot prints are to die for!!!

pro! really interesting position of the figure. regards

Wonderfully intriguing image. The footsteps in the sand are just as important as the central figure, in my mind. The effect in the sky is also excellent. Superb image, with a lot going on and a lot to think about.

I think this is a very compelling image. When I look at your portfolio and this is by far my favorite of you shots. Many of the others are maybe a bit predictable and a lot less loaded as images. There are a couple of others that approach this tho. Generally, i am not into a lot of added textures, but this is wonderful and just has an incredible power to it. Even all the footprints just help the story. The colors are wonderful in completing this story vignette.

i like this a lot.

Very nice composition, mood! Congratulation!

Excellent painted work ...what I say more ???

Superb !!

The not-centred version is nice too, but not as nice as this. This is a great shot. Just superb.

This is first "digital alternation" I am voting (and I like so much) here, at photo.net.

Thumbs up, its gorgeous!

Definitely a gorgeous shot!

Excellent! This is a great picture/painting. Congratulations. Regards, Teresa
