Hello Ivana,
very good choice of the B&W for this picture. I like the peacful atmosphere there, and the sharpness of the coastline that takes us to the horizont.

TFS,

Hello Ivana! This is incredible and it makes me shiver a bit on this lovely Zurich afternoon, fall not far away but still warm enough to call it summer. The tone you chose is fantastic, everything is in a perfect flow as the water running through, out into the ocean. Excellent work, wonderful. Barbara.

Hi Ivana,
Great B&W shot! Perfect light and good composition. I would have tried also a shot with the man/woman positioned just under the horizont line...
Well captured.

Sable ou glace,
la question était posée avant d'agrandir l'image.
La composition et la sérénité qui se dégage me plaisent particulièrement.
Bravo.

Lovely composition, the strange mix of water and land intersected with eachother in a curvy way looks really superb and the lonely silhouette of the man standing there completes the beautiful scene.

Hi Ivana,

a lot interesting composition with the silhouettes and reflection of the sky on the water. The choice for the vertical framing helps to emphasise the purpose. Lovable shot!

Hi Ivana,

Jolie prise verticale avec ces lignes qui montent et ce personnage tout en contraste. Ce ciel complètement blanc fait tout drôle. Mais j'aime le rendu.

Regards,
Stéphanie.

Hello Elaine,
Very good composition as the subject in the photo is placed higher in the frame and allows the viewer to feel as if they also are peering down into the water. Interesting shapes in the dunes...

Hi Ivana,
This is simply amazing. The scene looks strange, kind of sad and creepy - hard to find words to describe. Mild sepia tone strengthens that effect. I love it, especially the way you positioned your model!
Congrats.

Hi Ivana, very nice BW conversion here, I like the diagonal of water stretching across the image, and of course the man makes it all quite TE-friendly, he-he :))) Seriously, very nice picture, the one that drew my eye immediately!

Cheers

Hi Ivana, the image mood is great, as well as the composition, my concern here is that the neck is right at the horizon level creating visual tension amid the peaceful mood you have created. The light management is very good.
Cheers,

Very poetic moment Ivana. The curved shore is looks very sensual and the little river and the lonely man really boosts the atmosphere of the whole shot. B&W was a clever choice here. Colors probably would confuse and ruin the mood of this one. The way it is helps us concentrate in the poetry rather than the technique. I love that.

Ivana,
You perfectly caught the graphics curves on the sand, perfectly placed the person into the frame, and perfectly managed exposure and light... A great one, very strong.

Hello Ivana,

Un cadrage parfait pour une composition parfaite ! L'eau apporte sont coté dynamique et donne du mouvement à l'image ! Le noir et blanc accentue les contrastes et permet de bien faire resortir la silhouette !
Bravo, du bon travail !

Great moody photograph Ivana,
The B&W fits with this subject matter very nicely. This is almost like visual poetry. There is so much we could think or say about this photo. Each person can draw there own ideas about the symbolism. Nice work.
Regards,
Ryan

You have some really nice curves and textures here, Ivana! It's a graphic shot that could succeed as a pure abstract, a study in lines. But it's great to have a person, especially a silhouette, placed in the middle of all that abstraction. I like your framing with the high horizon, too. Regards, Ken.

Hi, Ivana. You've made a very good use of the lines leading towards the sea to compose your picture. The person is very well placed in the image and gives a good depth to it. I like the very soft apsect of the sand on the left.

Hi Ivana!
You made a good choice of B&W. Also, the silhouette and the coastline are prfectly clear and well-positioned into the frame.

Well done

Hi Ivana. Great photo. You have the artists eye for composition I think. You have created a very moody atmosphere in this shot. Excellent BW conversion also. Thanks for sharing.

Greetings Ivana. I just found this shot of yours from a week ago. A strange and lonely photograph, too. I love it. It certainly has an eery quality to it, and the b/w treatment is very appropriate. The water at the bottom of the photo actually looks very deep, it is so dark. Marvellous perspective is achieved here, and the inclusion of the man is a great touch; he looks so pensive lost in his own thoughts. Thanks for the notes too.
Regards,
Andrew
