Flying VietMan Photo

Photographer’s Note

We was on a bamboo bridge over one of the thousand canals in the Mekong Delta.

The image was converted in b/w, deeply desaturated and with the contrast at 200%.

Here, the original view.

bellissima, praticamente un quadro...
mi piace molto questa tua elaborazione, così "estrema"
(rispetto all'originale hai fatto un miracolo!)
bravissimo
ciao, Carla

Ciao Paolo,
very very interesting piece of work. What you made out of it...a chinese aquarelle painting or a drawing. I am impressed. Contrast at 200%! I would never have thought of it. Lots to learn with you...I love the variety and the great quality of your gallery...
Thank you.

Hi Paolo, i believe it works to a point, maybe less contrast 120% on "selected" areas. I just feel information is completly lost for most of the frame. Its a great idea though and one I may try myself. well done.

Bonsoir, Paolo.
J'aime beaucoup ton experimentation ici, j'en ai fait dans le même genre assez récemment et j'avoue que cela m'attire beaucoup.
Effet obtenu très intéressant.
Amitiés, Grazyna.

Un'esperimento di contrasti decisamente ben riuscito. L'immagine è paragonabile ad un'incisione in B&W mentre i riflessi ad un acquerello in B&W. Ciò che il contrasto ha bruciato lo vede bene, però, riflesso sull'acqua, e questo rende l'immagine ancor più preziosa. Una buona idea ed un ottimo lavoro.
Ciao e buona domenica
Paolo.

Hi Paolo...I like what you did here. I have been thinking about finding more simple compositions for myself but I have not mastered it as you have..I like that you created art from something so simple...great shot.

Olá Paolo, thanks for sharing the original version to give us a better comprehension of the place and also to see from where this image came from. Love the creative work you present here, with all the snow surrounding the boat...the flying effect is there, indeed :) Very pleasant abstract image to look at.
Ciao,
ricardo
