[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
While sailing on the Dnieper River somewhere south of Kiev a bridge appeared in the distance, one with many parallel supporting cables. Behold something was on the cables here and there, perhaps eight or more "somethings" which looked man-like. Are they mannequins - is this a practical joke? Are they people - no, they couldn't be, but as we came closer and eventually passed under the bridge it became obvious - these were men doing some sort of maintenance work. Like insects on a spider web.

What the ...?? That's crazy! There is not enough money in this world to get me up there!
Great diagonal graphic shot with the clear blue sky as the background:)

Oh my goodness! I am dizzy looking at the photo. From the thumbnail, I could not really tell that they were men. The diagonal lines are interesting in themselves, but the men really make the photo! It is terrific that you caught the cables with the men at work.

thanks for sharing, LIsa

Amazing, Bernie. A simple composition of lines and men. A dramatic angle and POV to show a scale that so dwarfs them. Very nicely done.

  • Great
