Hello Andreas

Nice abstract image. There seems to be two horizontal parallel lines which divide the image into three which makes the composition interesting. Splendid colours and great effect of the long exposure time. Well done! Thanks for sharing. Have a nice evening.

Best regards, Erling

I can say that the kingfishers have a good effect on you,maybe you have drunk something else ,as a bang lassi!Anyway,I don't know what is it exactly,but the colors and their movements are very beautiful!And with the dancing letters at the bottom,this is really joyfull and nice to look at!

Haha...the smile of the session is for this shot. Great, playful idea and shot, Andreas. It's the kingfisher shooting, not you! Or is it? Thanks for this unusual post.

Hi,
Fantastic colours. Unusual, but good idea. A swinging picture. Kingfisher is Kingfisher. Next time you try 'Guru beer', brewed in Lucknow, not widely available in India, but so good... so strong.
Cheers!
Regards,
Marcel

Hi Leo,simply fantastic,this is a very professional work..and whitout tripod too!! Great!! My best compliments and thanks to show us this beauty,have a nice day,Luciano

Jeppo (11756) 2009-11-12 15:01

tja....oktoberfast nach indischer art???
ich hatte auch verstanden, es ging um lokales bier...aber ein solches bild solltest du auch nicht in Amsterdam zeigen. nachdem man ein paar joints geraucht hat, kann er durchs anschauen gleich fuer einen "trip" losfahren!

ciao

Hi Andreas,

Photography is about light, isn't it ? Excellent light and colours in this one (though I'm not so fond of the frame you added).A very strong graphical view (though I'm not really sure what I'm looking at here). TFS

That's a great work, Andreas! This is full of energy, with a shape evocative of the waves that lick the beach, and also of the numerous candles that illuminate the restaurants near the ocean. I love the movement, the colors, the eccentricity of this joyful idea. Good frame work also.
Congratulations!

Leo
Tu as beau dire, l'effet Kingfisher est quand même bien visible, même dans ta légende ) En tout cas, cela t'a permis de réaliser un "truc" très graphique à l'excellent rendu.
Amicalement
JJ

Angshu (33487) 2009-11-12 23:58

Don't tell me Leo...such a surreal shot. No tripod, no Kingfisher beer, yet you create a psychedelic image of serpentine curves of reflected lights, creating an image which I just cannot imagine. Wonderful!

Angshu

Selmik (1358) 2009-11-13 13:55

Hi Andreas,
thank You for comments;
excellent, sharp and *realistic* abstract and artistic composition, in different words I would call it *lines of life*...
Nice presentation!
Cheers,
Mike

Hi Leo
The effect of the colourful lines are excellent. You created the curves so well and leaving the patch of water was a good idea to create a focal point.

Nikki

Hi Andreas,
Dazzling lights, amazing colorful stream lines captured by this set of shooting instruments, distinct color, just like an abstract paint, it is artistic, good shoot.
