I love the glowing colors of this piece. The simple layout really brings out the feeling of alone. The only thing I would suggest: While I like the way the tall grass sticks up beyond the hillside. The one dark spot in the middle tends to grab my eye and looks a bit like a flaw. ~ Well composed piece


Mohammad Porooshani   {K:20705} 3/15/2006
thank you Melisa,
you're right, but I just tried to not alter the composition and you won't believe the situation which I shot this Image, that was a real hard work.
And + there is some light imbalanced elements in this photo that make it not a classic one, just an image! I like the lighting.
Thank you again.

Hi Mohammad, For the larger part, I agree with Melisa about the dark spot. On the other hand, it not only grabs the eye, but also holds it. Maybe not at the spot you intended (as I think the tree is supposed to be the primary subject here), but it is effective in preventing the eye from wandering off.

I think you succeeded in creating the old look. Maybe a slightly cooler tone of brown could've created an even stronger dated feel, but that's all a matter of interpretation.

I do think that in order to complete the old look, the gradient in the sky, should've been completed on the right side of the photo too. I guess that needs some more explaining. There's a distinct darker tone on the left and top compared to the area around the center / horizon. I think that darker tone should be applied on the right side too, as in the current layout, it seems as if the vignetting is cropped off on the right. Hope you see what I mean.

I like the feel about this photo, well done, and an interesting post processing.

Cheers,

Hugo

a dream? nah ... Magic nah! this is special very special image from my brother :)

wish you all the best

Dear Hugo,
First I want to thank you very much for your good comment, then
I'm in agree with Melisa and you, but, as I described in the About, I post it just for comparison and as you now, this image had been taken in January this year and after 3 month I took a look back and found this angle very interesting. maybe the dark spot catch eyes but I feel good about it.
you know, some times when you look behind and find some unusual vision, you may like it more than it's alternative version.
I addition that I meant just the upper right corner of image (the bright sky) as the main subject, and as you said, It does not look like so! but anyway I meant so.
And about old look of image, as you know, printed old photos looks like this brown image by just a difference of saturation. I mean these photos has a lighter brown tint, but I didn't mean to make it the exact old look.
Thank you a Bunch,
Your little friend,
Mohammad

Thank you Shehzaad,
it's a good image but not even comparable with your best of works.
Mohammad

Impressive for its semplicity and immediate comunication, but not only. I think excellent also the almost dim mood broken by the strong light coming up behind the ill. The half fuzzy front ground helps the colour to create the desired old look.
A splendid work endeed.
Regards.

Giuseppe

Well, I love the effect you have created here Mohammad and my eye had no difficulty in going straight to the subject. The composition is great and the tones are pleasant to view although I would like to see a fuller sepia toned version. Well done to you my dear friend it is a very beautiful moody and simplistically composed study. My very best wishes to you as always....Ray


Mohammad Porooshani   {K:20705} 3/16/2006
thank you very much Ray.
You know, good friends like You are the best things in my life that I ever had.

Mireille Heirendt   {K:7258} 5/8/2006
Hi Mohammad,
This is an absolute favourite!
I love it for the monotonous colors, the composition and finally for the details on the one hand and for the amazing softness on the other.
Much, much better than "Alone"! To me the colors are too busy there (only my opinion!)
Thanks for your visits!
Regards, Mireille


Mohammad Porooshani   {K:20705} 5/8/2006
Thank you Mireille,
I'm happy you like it,
Yes, I'm in your side! I like it more!
thank you again.
Wish you Bests,
Mohammad
