Merhaba Ali Riza,

You framed an interesting moment. Half of your frame is dark and other part is not. Light beams between clouds are wonderful. Dark water surface creates incredible contrast with sky and light beams. I would like to see the fisherman more visible but who care really? I like it. Congratulations.

Best Regards,

Parbo

Original composition. Fine strong shadows. Amazing idea and fine result. Regards.

Hi,

Great composition !
It seems like the fisherman is holding the clouds in the sky with his pole.

Colors and contrast are really nice too. Great Job.

Hello Ali!
Such an amazing scene!
The dark fisherman takes the fish from the light side of life....
Great play of light!
Grea idea to do the photo!
Best regards!

Merhaba Ali Rıza,
İnanılmaz güzellikte bir gökyüzü ve ışık... Notun olmasa ilk bakışta balık tutan olduğunu anlayamadım... Çekimin mi böyle yoksa PP sonucu mu bilmek isterdim...
Balıkçının hafif kızıl ten rengi ile belli belirsiz görünmesi nasıl olurdu diye düşünüyorum...
Sonuç olarak herzamanki gibi fevkalade güzel bir kare yaratmışsın... Ellerine sağlık...
Selamlar

Merhaba Ali Riza,
İlk anda bende balıkçıyı fark etmedim.
Biraz karanlıkta kalmış gibi. Ama arka plandaki ışınları vurgulamak içim bunu yaptığın anlaşılıyor.
Eline sağlık. Uğur

Liekje (574) 2006-11-06 4:25

Wow! I like the contrast in this picture and the drama it comes along with it. Impressive!

delkoo (68) 2006-11-06 4:54

bonjour ali riza

what sky and atmosphere, i like the rays filtered by clouds ,is pity that one can't see the fisherman,Maybe a blow of flash would have been judicious.

well done

Merhaba sevgili Ali Riza...
Aman Allahim... Kabus gibi... Herhalde firtina geliyor... Ayni zamanda muhtesem bir gökyüzü... Bu ortamda avlanan bir balikci ve o karanlikta belli belirsiz görünen oltasi... Gercekten cok güzel bir komposizyon... IsIk, renkler ve atmosfer harika...
Ellerine saglik...
Saglicakla kal..
Salim.

Paolo (41035) 2006-11-06 8:23

Hi Alì, good view, not for the fisherman, that is totally invisible in the dark, but for the amazing sunrays and the sky colours.
good shot.
thanks, ciao

Hocam Merhaba,
Yakalanması zor bir an. Gerçekten etkileyici bir kompozisyon.

Ne kadar degisik bir isik.
Sonuc ise mukemmel.

Merhaba AliRıza,
Yoğun kontrasta rağmen etkileyici bir kare,
balıkçı biraz daha belrgin olsaymış daha güzel olacaktı sanıyorum.
Selamlar...

Merhaba Ali Rıza Bey,enterasan ve hoş bir fotoğraf olmuş. Ayrıca ışık süzmeleride harika...
Tebrikler...

Balıkcının silueti aynı karanlıkta biraz zor seçilsede arka plan gökyüzü tek kelimeyle MUHTEŞEM... tebrikler..

hyasar (7641) 2006-11-06 16:26

Merhaba Ali Riza,

her ne kadar fotografa adini veren balikci konuda bi parca zayif kalmis olsa da bu fotografta inanilmaz bir renk geçişi, doygunluk var. Insani endişeye düşürecek kadar enteresan bir gökyüzü hali yakalamışsın. Tebrikler.

selamlar,
Hakan

HaBeMa (1326) 2006-11-06 16:28

Merhaba Ali Riza,
I love the shafts of light streaeming through the clouds. I can make out little detail in the shadows.

Merhaba,

bu fotoğrafınızı çok beğendim. Balıkçının gizli oluşu çok başarılı bir düşünce.

ellerinize sağlık & teşekkrüler

Hello Ali,

Wonderful contrast. Scary and dramatic sky captured by you. Wonderful rays of sun falling into the water.
Good work my friend.

Hi Ali,
impressive cloud comuing in and the fisherman does not let it influence his concentration. Well done.
Regards, Gerrit

feather (51114) 2006-11-07 9:30

What a shot! It's probably the most dramatic sky I've ever seen. The right of the frame is almost totally black yet the light is good on the left. It looks to be a mixture of sunbeams and rain coming from behind the cloud. Good work

This really is dramatic work. I've never seen a sky as dramatic as this. The contrast with the blue sky is strong and the rays are well conveyed too. Impressive atmosphere and capture.

Hi Ali,
This is top quality work. The sky is at its dramatic best and provides a wonderful backdrop to the fisherman with the fishing rod. Love those diffused rays of the sun.

Hello Ali,
Dramatic... Strange!
A composition full of nature's beauty, but also a warning about worse maybe to come...
Well composed image, great colours and details, including an awesome atmosphere!
Greetings,

Burberry1 (6041) 2006-11-14 8:27

Ali, this is simply a masterpiece!!
U managed to catch a wonderful nature which is soooo Powerful!
Maybe I would try to play with light a bit more to show the fishermen who is a great addition to the photo and makes it vivid and special.

sebcz (2345) 2006-11-21 4:03

Hi Ali!
You captured a suberb moment, The cloud really looks threatening. The silhouette of the fisherman is enough here, clouds are the main interest.

Hi Ali,

An exceptionnal shot. I like very much the atmosphere of this image. The fisherman does not seem if not impressed by the rain which comes !!! A good work, cheer Ali.

Great photo, you can almost feel the anger growing in the sky. The fisherman adds additional atmosphere. I wish his silhouette was a little brighter. TFS

Hi
It's too bad that the fisherman is really too dark..
with the huge background, this could have been a woonderful pic

bulutların boylesine dizilişi, dumduz ufuk çizgisi ve arkadan hafif beliren guneş ışıgı çok şey katmış, denizin bu golgeden nasibini alması ve karanlık goruntusu de nadir karşılaşılacak bir doga guzelligi.
