Twilight zone Photo

Photographer’s Note

Le Salar d'Uyuni est surréaliste: la fine couche d'eau de pluie sur la surface salée, blanche et plane fait de cet endroit un immense miroir ou se reflète le ciel...

Truly a surreal photo. I like the details of the surface in the foreground and the reflection of the person.

Woooooooaaaaaah ! C'est assez epoustouflant !
Jolie reflection. Ta photo est dynamique (perspective et profondeur OK), vivante (sujet sur la gauche, et tellement irréelle ou fantastique. Tout cela donne le tournis.
Cette photo arrive directement dans mes favoris !
Bienvenue sur TE

This salar has been widely pictures by members of TE, but your post is very different from all I've seen by now.
The reflection is just perfect and placing the person in frame gives it a surreal dimension.

Thank you for posting and welcome,
anton

Vraiment fabuleuse cette photo, un phénomène remarquable qui est véritablement trompe l'oeil, heureusement que tu as eu la bonne idée d'y inclure ce personnage dont lui et la réflection donne une idée de l'étendue de ce marais salant.

Great job here, the photo looks almost unreal! Reflection is so clear and works real well, especially on the man in the photo. His shadow completes the detail perfectly and adds one more dimesion to this multi-dimensional image. Great work!

un effet visuel effectivement spectaculaire
la présence du personnage permet de capter l'échelle du lieu ..sans ce personnage l'image est peut être encore plus déconcertante ???
les teintes sont superbes
c'est une photo exceptionnelle bravo !
amitiés

The place looks extraordinary and your photo encouraged me to find out about Salar d'Uyuni. To that extent it works very well.

However, I find that my eyes wander round the photo rather than being drawn to something in particular. Of course, the dream-like quality of scenery makes this hard to achieve.

I would suggest putting the man 1/3 of the way in from the left of the shot and cropping the top and bottom to create a more letter box format could help. I think this would draw the viewer into the picture and reduce the redundant areas whilst retaining the wonderful reflections and overall surreal nature of the place.

Magnifique photo Yves, on croirait que le gars marche dans les nuages, Felicitations, une très belle photo que tu partages là.
Bravo !

Niesamowite miejsce doskonale sfotografowane wielkie brawa.

dmitriy55 (267) 2005-01-14 14:25

I'm mesmorized... This is unreal, like a scene out of science fiction. I think that the PoV chosen was excellent, the scene takes almost a philosophical meaning with the person framed in it.

Une photo a vous couper le souffle. Peut-être
la plus belle que j'aie vu sur TE. D'autorité dans mes favorites! Chapeau bas.

Maritsa (358) 2005-01-14 17:00

Wow! Great image! Very fine reflectios! Very nice colors and superb sky!

tomaszmarcinek (1493) 2005-01-14 18:57

Be there. See that. It must be petrifying watching a landskape like this in real. Fabulous picture in my op. Tom

RegisMinot (1317) 2005-01-14 19:37

Effectivement, c'est impressionant. Très bonne idée que d'y mettre un personnage car le sol est telelment blanc qu'on pourrait le prendre pour une vue d'avion à travers les nuages.

dsolarov (422) 2005-01-14 20:23

This really looks like photo of a dream, almost like walking in the coluds. Amazing photo. Bravo!!!

harry (428) 2005-01-15 5:32

Look's like a SF-world. Beautifull contrast and fin atmosphere. Like your picture verry much.

Were you filming the X-Files? The shot is amazing, seems from another world, like a mirror suspended in the space. Good you have a person in the capture as point of reference, because in this photo would be quite difficult to focus in something sepcial.
Very well done!

kikvel (4770) 2005-01-15 15:40

Yves

drymd29 (448) 2005-07-19 15:37

Scanning your galery, I met this picture.
As many others I like this picture very much; the person makes it complete, bringing balance in everything, self reflecting as taken up in nature.
Huub

Paul57 (1497) 2005-07-20 19:15

Yves, this is just an awesome picture. It seems too nice to be true.
On ne devrais pas avoir de regrets mais plus je regarde tes photos plus je réalise que j'aurais dû y aller.
Merci pour me permettre de rêver!
Salutations,
Paul

Only one word - fantastic !
Great shot

joi_franski (43) 2006-01-16 15:45

WTF
So this is what it's like to stand on a gigantic mirror. The person looking over the frame sortof adds to it's dimension, i.e. this is a fantastic shot Yves.

Fantastique prise de vue. Je l'ai reconnue tout de suite pour l'avoir vue publiée dans le journal Le Soleil. Ce journal de Québec invite ses lecteurs à partager ses plus belles photos de voyages et ils ont eu raison de choisir la tienne. Bravo.
