[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Kind of simple yes, but there was something about this shot I really liked, and at the time it seemed to capture how I was feeling. This was taken at the summit of Haleakala on Maui just before sunset. I converted to B/W and tinted it a bit here but the original is in the workshop.

Have a great weekend!

Superbe Vincent !!!
La texture onctueuse des nuages, la silhouette en ombre chinoise, ... Beaucoup de sereinité se dégage de cette photo.
Ces teintes rosées sont plus douces que celles du WS mais il n'est pas mal non plus !!! ;)
Bon week-end à toi aussi.
Amicalement.

Pascalie.

Wow! Something a little different, and something a lot wonderful:) I like both versions, and I especially like the mood and symbolic meaning(s) within. Hmmm...this would make a good image for an inspirational poster. (BTW, I like the placement of the person in the composition with more space behind him than in front, as having made much progress in his journey. If the space were reversed, it would seem that he had far to go. The use of space adds to the meaning and interpretation.) Well done, Vincent. Of course:)

well done, silouhette is very nice.
good POV. colors is pleasing.

Bonjour Vincent,
Excellent use of this backlit. With the man walking in the clouds you created a very moody ambiance. Balanced composition! Bravo! Annie

Hi Vincent,
Excellent composition and nice contrast in this beautiful B & W picture, Excellent POV. and details,
The sky is wanderful with a nice silhouette,,
Well done,
Michel

Hi Vincent,

Blue is my favorite color, but I agree with you on this choice of sepia. It has a very dreamlike look and feel. I like the fact that he has already walked most of his journey.

Great shot! Lisa

Always are attractives your pictures...
This one is not an exception....
Magnifique...
Bravo

the composition of this one is simply outstanding -- your figure is neatly on the thirds line and set so neatly against the bright background. Great textures too

Simplicity is often the best subject Vincent! Nice pinkish tones to the sky! Excellent off center posting, and it shows motion too! I like that! Super shot!

Salut Vincent,
Rien que ton titre, me plait beaucoup ;)
Très bien vu cette conversion, les nuages en ressortent plus intrigants.
J'aurai peut être cadré un peu plus de ciel...
Bonne journée

Nice capture Vincent. I like the silouhette of this individual walking during this sunset. The colors you chose for this shot creates a nice soft relaxing tone. Great work Vincent.
Regards,
Kevin

Hi Vincent,
A dramatic and elegant composition. I like the cloud and mountain layers as well as the silhouette of the man walking on clouds. Best regards, Danilo

Walking onto the future maybe, a very thoughtful shot Vincent.

Gil
