What an intriguing and strange shot. I love the way it is post processed and composed. It makes me think what they are doing and i don't really get the sense that they are falling, but it is wonderful to look at and makes me think
i disagree with those who say that it doesn't match your title.
it reminds me of when I was a kid and I would stand on my head, i would feel disoriented because the sky was below me.
This pic is perfect the way it is, the dirty feet represent childhood, and the photo means much more than just the action of "falling" right? It represents a whole era in my life, and is highly nostalgic.
I alway want to know how much post processing is need to have thi kind of shot ?... can you post the before and after shot.... just for the academic purpose... that and bravo for the ribbon !
Heida, i think it would have been perfect if the pants didn't show on the legs in the left or if the legs on the right had pants LOL...i gave u a 10 but just wanted to share my opinion. Congrats again!
I got so caught up in knowing who took this shot that I forgot to say in my original comment that I really did like the image. (No I didn't vote different even though I was pretty sure whose work this was. It would have got the same vote regardless:)) It was a very different mood and look when compaired to most of the other images in the challenge. Good work once again. You definately have a style starting and it suits you well.
Your familiar style will doubtless prejudice many voters' truly objective opinion on this one. : )
As usual, it's technically very good, but the title is what the shot relies on for it's character, more so than the actual subjects. If I remove the title and look at this as an image only, I see an attractive pic (thanks mainly to your post-processing) but some average composition and not particularly evocative subjects. The feet are in the air but they do look so posed that it's difficult to see past it.
I would prefer to have seen an action shot of the same idea but with some sand flying up from the movement with the feet frozen in the frame, perhaps panned round to the side and viewed almost as four feet together. This may also have worked with water, although the sand on the soles adds its most interesting feature as it stands.
A bit too contrived for my taste, but it does get your attention in that you wonder how did they get the feet to show with sand intact...then you think of ways.
This style looks familiar... I'm wondering if I've guessed the photographer. I think you're on my favorites list (and if you're not yet, you might be after this picture)! Great shot. Love the clouds. 10
This photo is breathtaking. It almost looks like something Heida would take. The clouds obviously are wonderful, and the way you played the feet into the image is outstanding. Great Job, and nice lighting.
The legs look kind of bumpy & Jarred around the edges. Perhaps a little too much D&B for my tastes. With B&W it works well but sometimes excessive dodging & burning can make it look too artificial.
still it's an 8, just trying to give a little critique of something that will probably get 99% positives.
lovely light , I hope you explain how you post processed, because while i think what you pointed your camera at was just OK the resulting image is more thatn the sum of its parts
this looks like a heida shot to me. :) so very cool, you can almost picture them flopping down after a long run on the beach. or something. :) at any rate, great shot, colors, tones and lighting are fantastic.
