Hi Saad, i do always enjoy a constructive critique! though, i find it imperative to let you know that, images that i choose to post here are not accidental, nor the technique applied. what you tackle here, to be frank, is not something that i would be bothered with. since, it does not take much to realise it, it is quite explicit visually what you bring forth, and it does not take much of an emancipated mind get hold of it! nonetheless, i do aprechiate what you point out. I perhaps, shall reconsider it for the upcoming images!
regards, v. in addition, dispite my awareness of 'light contradiction', i choose to stand behind it~ you might call it masochism, perhaps!! perhaps, it is because i have long ago realised that what appears might merely be just a shell, without content!
Like this, can,t quite put my finger on it..but is is almost like looking through a window to the past..sounds odd perhaps ..but that is how i feel looking at this..nesa
Here the impression is very similar to that vague image that we carry in mind from something that happened in the past, Visar! It is not the single details each one for itself but rather how they all add and form a single scene, with all its possible defects (thinsg we remember nnt as clearly). But the atmosphere is made visible, and the mood under which it was taken.
The few elements on the endless scene give also a sense of minimalism that enhances the importrance of the atmosphere itself. It is like capturing an essence of a scene rather than the scene itself! Same with the vignetting here. It leads to the main things but in a subtle way.
And last but not least I think that the strong contrast supports it too. It allows the guys to be figures-like, which complements the vagueness as it is more important *that* they were there than *who* was there.
I think the up to date top of this series of your!
the real shadows of the two umbrellas contradicts the editing done to this fine shot,telling this as friendly talks,while the umbrellas shadows indicates that the sun at 12 o'clock in the sky,the editing of the light over the sea indicates something else,my best regards, Saad.
