Joggie van Staden   {K:41275} 9/16/2007
A wonderful image Kiarang - this image is a study in geometry: firstly the symmetry of the building, then the reflected image of the building adding a second dimension and lastly the sky with the feather clouds echoing the symmetry of the building. Great work - congratulations with the DoD

Annemette Rosenborg Eriksen   {K:55401} 9/16/2007
Dear Kiarang
Indeed a welldeserved award on this faboulous photo that is so strong in its composition and elements, the sky and the water. The woman passing by adds a mysterious mood to it, danger, solitude, ghosty, vulnerable short life - oh it brings so much to my mind. A favourite for certain:-)
Best wishes
Annemette


Kiarang Alaei   {K:49080} 9/16/2007
"vulnerable short life"
Oh! dear Annemette, this words by you evok me a lot of ideas, thanks for your beautiful philasophic thought!

1301307 60   {K:41310} 11/28/2007
Very nice Kiarang, the passing human in the photo is what makes it different aside from the reflection and the sky..
goes to my fav..


Nick Karagiaouroglou   {K:96725} 12/7/2007
Passing? No, Kiarang, such images are staying. They saty in memory, they work as sungular points of orientation in the otherwise continuous, monotonous flood of images that try to somehow convey what you managed to clearly show! Atmosphere in simple geometry but with an unlimited amount of finest details in a great tonal range.

Excellent is the least I could say for such an achievement of strict photographic skill - and I mean it quite seriously considering the many too many "sentimental" shots of things that don't manage to show anything else than the wannabe attitudes of the camera holder. No, this here is something else. I
