Dear Wayne… thank you for your concern over my whereabouts. I suppose I been rather introspective of late. Maybe the collective hysteria so prevalent this time of the year overwhelms me somewhat.
I had to stop here again! I know you know this IS a genius image and that I truly love it.
I got me a feeling that someday I may visit your part of the world, and I count on you to take me on a stroll on your beloved Altona pier. I’ll both hang out as the sun sets with feet dangling over the pier’s edge. I’ll bring a cooler with a few beers and I’ll talk of poetry, art, or maybe be absolutely silent. Either way will be a true pleasure to meet you in the flesh.
Be well my friend.
C

Thanks for the comments Neal - perhaps the cropping needs to be midway !

I like that wonderful cloud. I also prefer the rectangular format because it seems to give the man more room to head out into, gives a better sense of distance and makes the walk seem like a greater effort.

Thanks for your comments Carlos, seems like most of the images I put on usefilm come from Altona Pier ! It's close to where I work, so the usual place I go to use up the last few frames on a film.

Yeah Carlos, I think that looks stronger - then you do always like to crop to a square !

Damn this is great Wayne? probably the very pier of you other blockbuster ?Chance meeting - Altona Pier? and ?Break in the clouds?? - The walkway's a photographers gold mine ;-)?
the image is appropriately titled ?Walk? as the ?drama? of the shot, is principally about the man walking so purposely toward the end of the pier ? But the instant it takes to look at the picture, the viewer has to take in a landscape as well. I think the power of the shot ( the man, placed as he is at far corner of the frame) becomes diluted, almost an after thought within all the rest of the show.
I enclose my take on this ? again very tentatively ? it is delicate to mess with work other than your own. But in the name of free exchange of ideas ( as friends, if we were neighbours we would share our views in a different way?), I enclose an alternative view?
Cheers, C

I love the tremendous driving force that takes us to a mystique horizon. LOved the surreal infra red tones. Very well applied.

wonderful and dinamic IR shot with a perfect composition of the point of interest following the diagonal.
My best compliments
