Very nice composition


Keith Naylor   {K:13046} 12/18/2002
the burnt out top rh corner is my only critisism, but superb otherwise :-)

The image and mood are wonderful. My only gripe is the vertical lines in the bottom left. Looks like it could be artifacts from the scanner. I love that little stick down there, too.

Well, all prior comments aside, this definitely works for me. There's a striking balance in the composition that reminds me of some of those striking Chinese Taoist wash drawings of 1000 years ago. The tones are really striking and I really am taken by the very subtle detail you caught with the gentle contours on the water. Marvellous work. The more I look at this, the more I like it.

Fantastic panorama!Great lighting.
Bye Marco.

I like it, good landscape, very expressive shot.


M.M. Meehan   {K:4119} 4/2/2003
Have to give your charisma a boost. Besides this is a wonderfull view, with great tonal range and DOF. The horizon just goes on forever. Now I must look at a similiar one of my own, that I thought had mere snapshot potential. You are an inspiration.


Diana Wiersma   {K:26404} 8/4/2003
Very peaceful image. It gives me a great feeling of serenity. Views like this one are an inspriration for me. My compliments Altaf!


Giovanni Allievi   {K:1052} 11/27/2003
This one brings me this message : silence.

Congrats.

Hi..
I am watching this photo from 15 minuteren... and more I watch it more are attracted. perhaps why I adore lagos... I find a semplicità compositiva disarming that it equals the natural show. the small cliffs that give right go on the left in diagonal seem to want to run encounter to those on the background, fecndo a curve... the glares gild to you seem the spark for the departure. the mountains in BG that in the fog create atmosphere to the lago! skillfully the beauty of the nature in little elements and with one is represented all perfect exposure! soon with new photos
cheers
roby

That is a brilliant B&W mood Altaf. Cheers.


Regina Rianelli   {K:24147} 5/19/2004

best regards,
Regina

Al,

A classic BW landscape. The compositional lines are perfect, drawing my eye into the frame and keeping me from drifitng.

Excellent image.


Kimmy Magino   {K:2457} 6/25/2004
Altaf:Thank you!!!!!!


Joshua Rainey   {K:5069} 7/13/2004
I think that this is my favorite shot out of your portfolio. I really like the tones and how everything is mids with a little bit of highs and a little bit of lows spread throughout. Great choice on B&W to get that mysterious feeling. If this was shot in color it would be an entirely different photo...


Di Ciuccio Maurizio   {K:57483} 7/17/2004
solo ora ho capito chi sei...e mi complimento con te non solo per le belle foto,(eccezionali direi)ma anche per tutto il resto..grazie per regalarci questa magia..ciao

Photo majestueuse et parfaitement équilibrée...elle touche l'âme et me fait penser à une photo de Mickael Kenna (en particulier son livre "Japan")

Salut et bravo à toi

Claude

Dear Al,

With all the New Bugs of the 'New Face' I thought I would just rather comment on one of your other images that I have not critiqued yet ... Alright?

This just might be my favorite of yours because of it's minimalism and placidness especially rendered in B&W. Very serene and peaceful indeed allowing the mind to wonder throughout the image and absourb what you have captured so well.

Take it easy and Best of Regards!

Douglas, (aka 'Sunset Man')

P.S. ... A 'solid' six rating all the way!


Roger Williams   {K:83282} 2/1/2006
This is quite my favourite in your portfolio. Lovely quality to the light as captured by this fine camera...


Mary Sue Hayward   {K:17525} 3/28/2006
Great black & white.
