About The longest cobblestone road I have ever seen, just had to take a photo of it in a different angle. I like the lighting and how the little "hills" of cobblestones match the hills in the background. Luckily there was not much traffic so I did not get run over :)
This is definitely one of those images that I put up just because I like it so not sure if others will like it as well.
Only PS work was to add the black top and bottom framing.

Hi Paul.Nice perspective in this shot.
Regards...Orazio


Rebecca Raybon   {K:26655} 11/15/2004
Excellent perspective! I like it too!


Kristina Kohut   {K:49990} 11/15/2004
It's very beautiful, and filled with mystique! I really like the originality in it, and of course the wonderful light and how the distance is in the fog!


Thilo Bayer   {K:50301} 11/15/2004
Hi Paul,

creative usage of the stone as a foreground "texture" for the great depth composing. interesting widescreen look and DOF. minor thing for me: I would love to see the mountain with a bit more room to breathe.

take care,
thilo

Saeed Al Shamsi   {K:47585} 11/15/2004
Eye catching effect, great arrangement, excellent and brilliant use angle shot, superb,Saeed


Neil Dolman   {K:26883} 11/15/2004
Hi Paul, great idea and very interesting. Love the angle and the extreme DOF. This isn't done justice by the thumbnail - you have to open it up to enjoy, as i did :)
Best wishes Neil


Paul's Photos   {K:34954} 11/15/2004
Thanks Thilo, I am guessing your talking about the sky above the mountain.. I did crop this so I probably could have given it more space. I was just trying to make a more compact look to the image but I see your point as well.


Stephen Bowden   {K:64519} 11/15/2004
Paul this is just brilliant, the extreme low angle and crop both work perfectly. Great idea and a superb result :-)

Best wishes,
Steve


Verena Rentrop   {K:14426} 11/15/2004
at least I like the DOF, angle and also the fram is well chosen here, it compress the photo composition, I love that...

Cheers,
Verena


NN     {K:26787} 11/16/2004
A very good angle and a beautiful scenery!


Trish McCoy   {K:20979} 11/16/2004
what an excellent shot. nice work.


Pedro Libório   {K:53855} 11/16/2004
quite fantastic perspective, I think it works very well, I don?t like so much this first plan so big...it really distrats me...i qould crop a litle I think...or maybe not...well...i don?t know ...but my eyes really stay to much in it...I think...regards.


Yutaka Itinose   {K:21344} 11/16/2004
Ya,nice capture dear Sir,I see you chose f/5.6 not f/22 on purpose for the good foreground.good camera position,might use a cobblestone tripod.


Luís Lobo Henriques   {K:9002} 11/16/2004
Unusual perspective, Paul! Good surprise...


Paul's Photos   {K:34954} 11/16/2004
Yutaka, thanks for your comments.. yes, I think f22 would have brought the foreground more into focus which may have been better.. although I do tend to like the out of focus foreground as well... guess both ways would be ok...


shelly love   {K:135} 11/16/2004
Paul,

This is shot is wonderful. You're totally right. The angle is unique and the mirroring of the cobblestone hills and the "real" hills is great. I feel like I'm actually lying down on the road enjoying the view.

Cheryl Ogle   {K:24494} 11/16/2004
Ohhh, I really like this shot Paul - I love the lighting and the coloring. Great perspective - I never would've thought to do that.


Rocco T   {K:3513} 11/17/2004
Very well seen, excellent angle and unusual DOF.
Congrats. Rocco


Antonia BauerleinSehnert   {K:30030} 11/17/2004
I feel like I just fell flat on my face! Great angle. I can just see you laying on the road to get this one..lol. Fun image. T.


Riny  Koopman   {K:19998} 11/17/2004
Excellent perspective Paul...This one gets a 7 from me.Thanks you for your commenting to me.
Best always...Riny.


Graham Mulrooney   {K:16868} 11/17/2004
Good perspective and landscape Paul. I find the de-focused area in the foreground a bit distracting.
Regards,
Graham.


Hugo de Wolf   {K:185008} 11/17/2004
Hi Paul, Love the extremely low camera position and the apparent tilt. It's very effective and creates a very surreal view. That's what makes this shot tick; a very creative approach. The presentation is very effective. Inspirational shot; I have to remember this...:)

Cheers,

Hugo


Paul's Photos   {K:34954} 11/17/2004
Thanks Hugo... glad that you like it.. your never sure how these kinds of photos will come out. I took a few others as well but I liked this one more because not only did it have the low perspective but it also had a different angle, instead of just pointing it straight down the road. One can still see the long road but it does not dominate the composition.

Well, your latest car images makes me want to go out and start taking photos of vehicles LOL :)


Emgy Massidda   {K:60169} 11/17/2004
Unusual shot, great perspective and composition.
Dark and mysterious landscape. I like it!!!
Regards - Emgy


Tim  Schumm   {K:27167} 11/18/2004
very cool shot Paul..in the dirt so to speak. It works so well i'm surprised


Dr. Rafael Springmann   {K:86479} 11/18/2004
I might be under the influence of my "Nudes", but when I looked at your thumbnail (your photo did not open) the cobblestones looked to me like the lower abdomen of a woman. The photo, as far as can be judged from the thumbnail is excellently composed and its colors are beautiful.
Thank you, Paul, for your very friedly comment on my "Bottles behind bars 2"
Now the photo opened and the perspective is entirely different. THe cobblestones, at least thos close to the camera, are not in focus, as would be expected. The rest of the photo is as described above.
Best rergards,
Rafi


S.D Holmes   {K:7075} 11/18/2004

Rawabi Al-Nuaimi   {K:15659} 11/20/2004

P. Christine Skinner   {K:27338} 11/20/2004
Really neat angle on this shot. Interesting varying focus and it all pulls together for unique capture.
