Dehydration

A kind of an experiment. While strolling along the river in Hoi An (Vietnam) I saw these dehydrated paterns on the bank of the river. Although the level was unbelieveble high there were areas which dryed so quickly so nice paternes were cteated by Mother Nature. This is one of the shots I took.

Just an idea, let me know what you think about it.

PP-work, only adjustment of brightness and contrast, resized and adding a frame with text.

merhaba myfriend Dear Hans...
Küresel ısınmaya güzel bir örnek, kışın olmasına rağmen yağışların azlığı bu korkuyu giderek doğruluyor gibi..
Alınabilecek bütün önlemleri almak gerek artık...çok geç olmadan...

Hi Hans

Nice graphic pattern created by this ground.

We have similar riverbanks which consists mainly of silty clay. It dries up and cracks when dry.

The break lines are very interesting feature.

TFS, bill

Nice abstract shot.
Good sharpness and details.
That is one dry soil.

He Hans,

Een hele gave foto!
Vind dat altijd een heel gaaf effect hebbem die uitgedroogde klei. Potje Nivea zou hier wonderen kunnen doen. ;)

Ook een goedgekozen frame.

Hi Hans,

A nature made masterpiece! It is only a matter of framing.
Well seen specially because you went so far to dig in the mud.

Hartelijke groet,

Hi Hans. Dit heeft een grote artistieke inslag. Sommigen schilderen dit. Maar beide zijn voor mijn kunst. Met een grote K.

Hi Hans,
These cracked muds certainly make a good photo opportunity. Attractive composition. One would think this may be related to global warming. Best regards, Danilo

hi hans, neat looking abstract style shot, very creative composition, well done,
thanks scott

it was a great idea hans. its really strange to have dry patches like these in very rainy and humid places like the south east asia. i first thought you shot this somewhere in a desert in the middle east. great job and frame. thanks for sharing.

Hello Hans!
Perfect detail and clarity!
Nice colours!
I like very much the frame!
Best regards!

Hi Hans,

Great shot, I love the direct POV and texture you have here.

Cheers
Tom

That's a classic, but you've captured it perfectly. The framing serves it perfectly, too, as usual!

Well done Hans. Pretty simple subject but you captured it with good colour and detail and the frame is most fitting. TFS,
David

A very interesting shot great pattern and cool pov! Love the framing choice! TFS

Hallo Hans.
Hier zou ons Hendrik jalours van worden, ART.
Hoe langer je er naar kijkt hoe meer je er in ziet.
Mooi frame omheen gemaakt.
Ik heb er ook zo een, gemaakt in Iran 78. Ingelijst in 30*40 formaat, lange tijd in de kamer gehangen, met nog een stuk of 15 anderen, mocht niet meer van vrouw lief, liggen nu ergens in een kast.
Ik heb nu nog 10 (buitenlandse) ingelijst achter me hangen, Memories, toch ?
Groeten van Jan

Hi Hans

Perfect concept and perfect title... Love the abstract apttern here... congrats

Hi Hans

Awesome shot. Nice textures and patterns. Why is it I never think to look down for a photo? My eyes are usually scanning the sky for birds.... gotta change my POV I think. :-)

Hello Hans.
Well seen and well presented. For first looks like a patern from PS ...
Good lighting and color.

Hans, dit vind ik mooi !
Ik ga hier niet weer eens zeggen " en misschien in B/W " ...
want infeite is het dit.
Wat me vooral aantrekt is, uiteraard, de structuur
maar vooral " het verschil IN de spleten ".
Rare jongen hé ... ;-)
Went wel Hans

Blijf maar experimenteren !
Jan

Hallo Hans,
Je ziet wel vaker foto's als deze en in tijden van klimaatopwarming blijven ze me beroeren. Wat ik hier écht bijzonder aan vind, is dat de aarde nog niet helemaal verbrokkeld is, maar een soort patroon vertoont dat aan een luchtfoto van rivieren - dus aan water - doet denken. Daardoor is je foto niet alleen grafisch interessant, maar is hij ook beladen met een sterke symboliek.
TFS & groetjes,
Erik
