The final battle Photo

Photographer’s Note

(CONTINUED FROM MY PREVIOUS POST)

... While I was ready to celebrate my 13th labor, I looked at my back and I saw that there were a lot more of these Electric Giants, a whole army. I was surrounded! Just when I thought it was time to surrender, a powerful God showed up behind the clouds to help me. Now they were surrounded. Now way to escape. Their surrender was a wise choice for them. They were lucky that the sun showed mercy and if you pass from that same place today, somewhere halfway between Larissa and Farsala, Thessaly (the land of Myths)you can still see them there, with no bad intentions any more...

*** The "moral" of the "myth". Long live the sun, the water, the wind and all the renewable sources of energy. :-)))

Bonjour Hercules
belles couleurs et beau graphisme de ces pylones électriques qui ne sont pourtant pas photogénique. J'aime bien le résultat.

Hello Hercules,
what a Odyssey you had! There are so many features of this photo, but what I like best are indeed the silhouettes of the Electric Giants, as well as the way you captured the reflection of the sun through them. The tones and hues are alluring, while the exposure level is just right. The height of electric ducts really enhances it as well and captures the essence of your battle.
Regards.
Stella

Hi Hercules,
Wonderful shot! Excellent point of view, light and contrast. Well done.
Have a good weekend.

Hmmm, a tribute to renewable sources of energy. This reminds me of Didier's (delkoo) sunflower power with its motto. But a very nice sunset as well. Giants stay giants and let the renewable power reach our homes...

coco (28130) 2007-09-15 6:58

Por cierto, cuando hablas de tu 13th labor a qué haces referencia.

Kalispera otra vez.

No hace falta decir si la foto es buena o no. Ese sol que te salva de los gigantes no necesita a nadie para defenderle.

Una luz y unos colores magníficos.

Ta leme, file mou.

zeca (20026) 2007-09-15 7:08

Very good use of the lines, Hercules. Without it, the nice sunset should be just another sunset, so you did it very well creating something different.
Regards,
Zeca

Hi Hercules,

This is a very impressive and spectaculer image, POV is effective. I like the splendid colours and the attractive lights, but first of all the stunning atmosphere. Creative and suggestive modern impression, My compliments for this one.

Have a nice weekend,
John.

An incredible picture!! Absolutely beautiful. The colors are excellent! TFS

Hola Hércules,
Estos postes eléctricos son un bonito complemento de esta puesta de sol ya que cubren de líneas negras el cielo y crean un buen contraste con el resto de colores. Sin duda un excelente momento y POV.
Buen trabajo!

AiresSantos (42924) 2007-09-15 10:05

Hi Hercules

Excellent POV and colours, lovely clouds...
TFS and have a nice weekend

Oke DOn QUichote,

Η τελευταία σου μάχη με τα τεράστια τέρατα με τις σιδερένιες πανοπλίες και τα τεράστια δόρατα, μου θυμίζει την μάχη του Δον Κιχώτη με τους ανεμόμυλος.
Θαυμάζω τους ανθρώπους που σε όλη τους την ζωή φυλάνε σε μια μικρή γωνίτσα του μυαλού τους μια παιδικότητα που τους κάνει να βλέπουν πολλά πράγματα με διαφορετικό μάτι απο άλλους ανθρώπους που υποτίθεται ότι έχουν ωριμάσει.
Καλή Κυριακή και καλή...ψήφο

Γεια σου Ηρακλή,
Πραγματι ειναι σαν γιγαντες πριν απο την μαχη.Δεν θα μπορουσες να βρεις φιλε μου καλυτερο τιτλο για αυτην την φωτογραφια.Πολυ "δυναμικη" φωτο με υπεροχα χρωματα και φωτισμο.Ωραιο και το σημειωμα σου.

Πολλους χαιρετισμους,
Θωμάς

Hello Hercules,
Interesting scenery, where the real source of energy is in comparism with a manmade way of transmitting energy!
Stunning rich colours and fine details, the powerlines make a great contrast to the the scenery of nature!

Hello Hercules,

Wonderful sunrise post from you. Though these are very common in TE but you have made it different from others with your creative mind. The electric posts are added beauty in this composition.
