Thanks a lot for the quite good details about the method, Visar! A really good addition to my own collection of the pieces of that photography puzzle!
I would expect that spot metering on the reflections on the sea would rather underexpose the image, since the camera would think that the light is so strong over the whole place. But it seems that the strong lights right next to the kid's silhouettes just "burned over" into the silhouette, and since the reflection occupies such a big part of the image, there is not really much left for being underexposed. Only the sand of the beach. Really, a very good way for using this method for the opposite effect than it is mainly used! Great!
So lemme try that too! I only need a kid in front of the water in some sunny afternoon. (A kid anybody? ;-))
Cheers!
Nick

hi Nick,
thank you for your thorough analytic comment! much apprichiated,
bending over waters many see only a vague human figure! provoked by that idea, i keep looking for the dullest and dazzling reflections and so bringing forth the deepest secrets of the form made of light- the disturbing themes of double, the image, the counterpart, the enemy brother of the subject...
regarding technique used here, there's nothing much spectacular about it- i had measured the light on the sea reflection thinking that it would only produce a silhuette of the kid, like it did. after that i only fixed a bit the sky, with levels and and colour balance!!
and yes, about the sky part, i thought of it being equal in content with the cround part! otherwise, i wish i had time to only take the silhuette against the sea only! for that was the idea!!
thanks a lot Nick,
all the best and cheers,
v.

Again very existential in all its appearance, Visar! The human being is... analyzed to its ingredients which all seem to be rather different than "tangible" matter. There is light, some fluidum, motion, dissolving to the whole as a not really solid system. As if the boundaries of our own selves were not really as strictly defined, but rather transitions to the "rest" of the world. Our wave function has its maximum in ourselves but its ampliture reaches 0 only asymptocally towards infinity. Much like... the beaming of Spock from one place to the other.
The technique is error free to me. The shape as defined by the "boundaries" of the kid, its contours against the background, is there but... it flows. The strict and consistent color palette helps very well here too. The flares and shine add some good tension and power to it.
About composition, it is flawless too. Perhaps a bit less of the sky, which in this case is of a rather secondary importance.
Reminds me also of may album covers by Rush... The "I" emerges from the "whole" and thinks it is somehow separated. In order to emerge as a self-aware understaning it *has* to think this way. It has to distort reality for knowing about reality at all.
A very well made one. Any hints about the used techniques/methods?
Cheers!
Nick
