Skynet Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

Just a simple as this: Sky view throught a net. At the National park of Las tablas de Daimiel there´s a part protected to predators, there young ducks grow up safely before to be released in the big lagoon (just like children in our kindergartens and schools, before enter into the workmarket).

Let me dedicate this photo to those people full of doubt, those who dont think they are right all the time. Thanks.

Très original.

Great shot! It remminds me of one of mine... Check my Prisoner photo, it's funny. I like the perspective of the sky vs the perspective of the net. Very original and I like it! Bravo

Hi Miguel
It's not easy to understund your picture. But is graphic and colorfull. The composition is nice.
Well done

Nice picture!
Great effect!
Makes me happy that I`m not a duck....

roconnell (327) 2005-04-27 18:49

Great perspective. It looks as though the surface of a globe is being lifted up and laid flat. Almost surreal. Well done.

SavioCastro (601) 2005-04-27 18:53

Composição bem interessante.... temos a impressão de profundidade, imensidão.... muito bem.

duder (321) 2005-04-27 19:24

This is a very interesting picture. THe addition of the net makes it look almost magical, and the prominent cloud in the center helps the overall composition.

chaity (1539) 2005-04-27 20:19

Hi Miguel, nery creative shot and the cloud is expressive too.

Emile (20177) 2005-04-28 0:34

The net really boosts the perspective.It reminds me of a wireframe used in a raytracing program without a full render on the object or plane.

MaJose (427) 2005-04-28 13:51

Hola Miguel,

Curiosísimo efecto el que has logrado con la malla; has ajustado de manera genial la unión de la red en el punto donde las nubes se diferencian. Un cielo espléndido; ya te he visto unos cuantos cielos magníficos .... será tu especialidad? Me gusta mucho. Un saludo.

Toni

Rockyboy (20582) 2005-05-01 15:45

L'effet graphique est un succès ici. La perspective de ces grillages donne très bien et le ciel est magnifique. Par ailleurs, j'apprécie beaucoup la note. Bravo!

jpages (1670) 2005-05-02 16:36

Hola Miguel, ya hace días que veo esta foto, y la verdad, en tamaño pequeño vi "algo raro" y la abrí, y me sorprendió, me causó una sensación un poco rara, me gustaba el cielo, pero no me gustaba que estuviera "prisionero", aunque no dudo que tu apuesta es muy arriesgada y diferente, a mi me hubiera gustado mucho mas un pequeño perfil negro de cualquier ave libre volando por el cielo. Son POV diferentes, claro.
Me he dado una vuelta por las críticas que le han hecho, y mi sincera opinión es que los "great" no los acabo de entender, soy mas afín a los "curiosos" y "originales".
PD: Creo que acabo de modificar el orden de tus fotos mas votadas. Vaya!
Un abrazo Miguelón!

alainh (35391) 2005-05-03 15:15

Ola Miguel.

mlopes (492) 2005-05-03 21:10

Hola Miguel,
When i first saw the thumbnail i thoutht that it was some kind of planetarium or world sphere hanging somewhere.

This is great, and shows how much or mind play triks on you.

Saludos,
Mario

JesusV (922) 2005-05-04 12:41

Muy bien visto, destacable la sinergia entre las perspectiva de la red y la de las nubes. Un cielo realmente espectacular. Jesus

davido (1982) 2005-05-04 13:28

Lo unico que voy a decir es : GRAN FOTO!

oochappan (22032) 2005-05-04 16:52

miguel,
gracias por tu comentario, y en la foto no use flash, me gusta mucho la composicion de tu foto, el foco es increible, ensena una realidad muy buena, y esta es. como el mundo esta atrapado en los vicios y los malos habitos. muy buena idea
felicidades

Hello Miguel. Just came across this stunning view from you - very original standpoint, very SFX, futuristic, the sky imprisoned. And of course the technical values are "sky high" as in all your work. Cheers, Francis

Damberio (241) 2005-05-29 10:59

Wow...here the lines of the net seem to follow the prospective line of the cluouds...very smart and audax shot...thanks for sharing !

faubry (32511) 2005-06-16 4:48

superbe, i like this shot of the sky through a nek, very good composition

Hi Miguel - fabuluous sky, and the use of the net here was a brilliant idea, excellent!

randompics (913) 2005-07-06 10:46

great creative shot. and the title matches perfectly ...

munki (1287) 2005-10-19 17:32

Hola Miguel,
Esta foto es una de mis favoritas. Me gusta su originalidad y como las cuadriculas de la red van disminuyendo con la distancia.
El cielo tan ennubado hace la foto perfecta.
Un saludo
Marcos

Facsi (212) 2005-10-20 3:25

Very good idea the title and the theme. The photo has very good perspective.

Numa (284) 2005-10-27 13:26

simple and beautiful because of the deapth you give to the photo...the net and the sky seem to converge to the same point...

tamoy (173) 2005-10-27 14:33

Shooting the amazing cloud formations behind the net has made this photo so interesting. Excellent idea.

guillaumejm (34) 2006-03-05 10:12

Hello,
I like very much your photo. Very original. Very good DOF. I've tried a little WS to get it more dramatic.
Hope you will find it interesting.

JMarc

david (3978) 2006-07-04 7:30

clever title miguel.

just a simple shot of the sky, but doing so through a net makes the photo very interesting.

good image. thanks for sharing!

iGirl (1223) 2006-08-27 0:12

Hi Miguel, interesting effect here, and very symbolic. Great perspective on the clouds.

Thanks for sharing!

verde (957) 2006-10-25 18:05

this is amazing. I love the contrast between the organic sky and the geometric net.

really wonderful

breyl (228) 2006-11-30 9:53

Vaya! es curioso que a partir de la línea de unión de la malla, el cielo está más y más rabioso... casualidad o previsión?

Hola Miguel,

tu foto es todo un enigma. Más bien la composición, me resulta muy astuta y me da que pensar muchas cosas, que no tienen que ver precísamente con la fotografía... ;-) Más aún despues de leer la última frase de tu nota, que aun no habiéndola entendido bien, me da la sensación de que por ahí anda la cosa...

Bueno, perspicacias a parte...

Buena composición y nitidez. Tal vez yo habría abierto un poco más el plano, pero supongo que la malla tenía un final, que no queríamos que saliera en la foto, por aquello de preservar el misterio... ;-)

Ingeniosa idea y buena perspectiva.

Un saludo Miguel.

Eva

Hi Miguel,
clever and creative shot of the sky,unter the net.Excellent the dedicate of your photo to the people who don't think that they are right all the time.The blue of the sky plays with the gray of the shadows as prisoners behind the rails of the prison.
