Hello dear friends,

The last week was very busy for me with a great meeting at Montréal city.

At my comeback, I see the Friday Theme about 5th birthday Treklens! Once again, I took a shot of my village and because TL is the better place to experiment in photography, I thought that a HPP work with this photo could be relevant for a birthday card!
I can say that I owe my learning of photography to TL!

PP talk:

Raw photo converted in JPG. With PS CS 3,I cropped the image and did an horizontal flip. I used the polar coordinates effect, perspective tool, lens flare, contrast and sharpen.

Thanks for stopping by and commenting. Have a nice weekend!

Hi Annie
Nice dedication and amazing PP works in this iamge
I like the artificial lens flare, I thought you were used fish eye lens.
Regards and TFS, Alireza

Oh Madame Annie qui se laisse aller à des contorsions photographiques.... C'est rare et très bien......
Le minimum que l'on puisse dire c'est que ton village est au bout du monde......attention aux précipices.....!!!
Bravo Annie très réussi...

L'effet obtenu est vraiment surprenant et très intéressant. j'aime particulièrement le soleil et le flare "transpercés" par la pointe du clocher.

Very good creative work on this landscape shot! Do you wish you really live on a polar cliff this tall with a good view from the top? Then I will ask you how would you come down or go up to your house! The focal point for me is the halo and the lamp post, bending outward, providing light to which area? Very imaginative.

Good artwork for the theme.

Tout un travail de PP que tu as produit sur cette photo Annie, une panoplie d'effets à ton service que tu n'as pas manqué d'utiliser, tu as une créativité plus que débordante et ça se voit , se vit dans cette oeuvre , un côté de ta personalité que je ne connaissais pas ha ha , quel taquin je fais et bien sûr une jolie réalisation pour le thème du 5ème anniversaire de notre site-photo, Bravo à toi ,

En regardant bien, je vois ton village transforme en coque de bateau qui fend la vague, c'est magique et feerique, et aussi formidable ce que l'imagination peut apporter.

Tout à fait magique comme composition. La couleur est vive, renforcée par une belle lumière qui éclaire la scène, tout en étant en contre-jour. Joli paradoxe !

Good Morning Annie,

I missed this fabulous shot!
It reminds me of a huge ice-breaker boat, rising up out of the water to overcome an iceberg!
A very interesting and pleasing experiment.
The circular nature of the image is mimicked by the circular bands in the sky, and the addition of the circular lens flare, very artistically.

Have a good day,
Bev :-)

Bonjour Annie
Quel intéressant post traitement! de prime abord j'ai eu l'impression de voir le profil d'une baleine a fanons en train de bondir hors de l'eau! et avec une corne de licorne? Non, non, c'est juste Grande-Vallée qui se met en boule, comme pour rappeler que sur TL, tous les délires sont permis, et moi j'aime bien ça ;-)

Ciao Annie. Una lavoro veramente eccellente, strano e d'impatto.

Help... the earth is round and everyone's falling off!!
Nice creative approach, Annie. The curl is a great effect, I'm not too fond of the lens flare but it's not disturbing either.
Well done.

Bonjour Annie
Voilà maintenant que vous crochetez de la dentelle!
C'est d'un effet très accrocheur qui pourrait inspirer un autre roman à Stephen King, grand maître du fantastique!
Ce serait cependant inquiétant à voir le lendemain d'une cuite!!!!
Bonne fête des mères, si appliquable.
Amicalement.
Robert

Annie,

It's certainly eye catching - somehow makes me think of children's stories; the curvature prhaps suggestive of this village existing upon its own little world - not a very big one! Read on for more tales of the strange inhabitants of Grande-Vallee. ;)

Cheers
Colin

WOOOOW!!!... very nice shot... i like the effect, and excellent frame... i love the image... TFS... congratulations by this...

Annie, one more comment which I hope you get since you have so many. This is an amazing piece of photoshop imagery. Believe it or not, I have had a dream of this exact same place, although I don't know where it is. I constantly have snow and ski dreams that sometimes a bit different in perspective, exactly like this photo. Wow! What a coincidence. Great imagery work here. Love it!
