Interesting juxtaposition of the cairn and the skylined figure, although I think it would have worked better with more of a gap between them, with the man on the right side of the frame.
With a tiny bit more depth of field (shooting at f/11 or f/16, say) you could have completed the illusion, making it seem like the man was next to a large rock formation.
Clever shot Jonas.

Cheers,
Ben

Hello Jonas,

A very funny photo very well managed. The visual effect is strong and all the elements are well placed in the frame.

Hi Jonas,
I'd say... the cloud in the sky that is even farther than the man in the background! just kidding.
Interesting and clever composition with a great quality. Love the game of lights and shadows cast on the stone structure.
Regards,
Maria

Hello,Jonas,
I like the comparison between the rocks and the man's size.
I find the colours neat, bright and yet not aggressive.Well, I hope, this man has fun there and he understands he is not more important than these rocks:)

Hey Jonas!
Ich hab gerade mal bei "Gallery" nach neuen Bildern geschaut und als ich dein Bild gesehen habe, wusste ich schon dass das Bild von dir ist, ohne deinen Namen unter dem Bild zu sehen bemerken... Ich hab deine Stil erkannt...
So sieht man sich wieder :)
Ganz ehrlich: Ich hätte auch nicht gedacht, dass der Mann größer ist als die Steinstruktur im Vordergrund!
Die Farben sind sehr gut und der Rahmen passt auch!

Na dann bis bald und schönes WE!
Phil

Hallo Jonas! Fantastische Idee und ein neuer Approach, die Arches zu "umgehen", auch wenn die sicher faszinierend sind und fotogen obendrein, so ist Dein Foto doch Stoff zur Nachahmung (ich war gerade auch dort vor ca. 14 Tagen oder so, und habe dieses Special Feature verpasst ...). Ja ja die Hitze legt zu und wenn man nicht um 6.30 h morgens dort steht, kriegt man einen Hitzestau.

Superfoto, Kompliment! Barbara.

What a great optical illusion, Jonas!
Who says the camera can't lie?

Superb composition, colours and details.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Jonas,
bild ich mir das nur ein, doer eknn ich so ein ähnliches aus deiner Treklens-Gallerie?
JEdenfalls hast du da mal wieder dein gutes Auge gezeigt, ich denke die meisten hätten einfach schnurstracks auf Delicate Arch zugehalten und da ihre Schnappschüsse gemacht, aber du hast eben genauer hingeschaut als die anderen und daraus eine super Komposition gemacht, gefällt mir richtig gut. Der Fels ist schön off-center plaziert und irgendwie wirkt diese ganze Formation sowas von unecht auf mich, tolles Bild!

Beste Grüße
Mark

Hey Jonas!
Meine erste Reaktion: Was? Willsch mich verarschen?^^
Das is ja der Hammer! Das fasziniert mich wirklich. Wie kann das gehn?
Also zum Photo:
Sehr schöne Komposition und klasse Farben, schärfe und der Himmel sieht super aus. Klasse acuh die die Felsen bis zum blauen Himmel ragen.
Super Bild!
Grüße, Kris

That's a brilliant juxtaposition, i thought it one of the wonders of stonehenge. Nice shot, very nice.

Very clever shot Jonas. You had a great idea, and perspective and your low POV have done the rest. The cairn really looks like one of Utah's major wonders. Good work

Hi Jonas,

Beautiful visual effect on this excellent photograph. A well calculated glance. I like much the harmony of the colors in your composition. Well done Jonas, cheer.

With all my friendships and very good Sunday,

50cm? haha, a good one to show how perceptive scale can be in photography. I wouldn't bet on a huge size of many meters, but I wouldn't guess 50cm either. Excellent exercise, Jonas.
Have a good end of WE,
(I mean, enjoy the game... ;-)

Excellent ! Simple and effective compo--the stones with their colors and textures, the blue sky with fluffy clouds, the lonely tourist...

Great image,
I was just thinking where is this spot you took this photo, I thought it look interesting. I was just about to say that the man give a sense of scale to how big this rock formation is. I guess it's the opposite. so it was not a huge rock formation. Great shot, you fooled me completely too. Excellent job, I love it.

Hallo Jonas,
It looks like a giant inukshuk, a picture that delivers an excellent luminous impression and looking at the guy we can get an idea of how heavy this is !
Have a nice day JY

Hola Jonas:

I love this type of photos.
The key of the success obviously has the composition, it is very intelligent and simple simultaneously, very aesthetic.
The sky and the rocks in the first flat sound a delight and the idea that transmits us with this photo is plural and varied but always positive, optimistic and interesting in any case.
Friend congratulated you, for the good work for the prank of the size of the stones and the man

Un saludo y hasta pronto.

Hello Jonas,
very interesting composition: the illusion is quite perfect, even if it the trick is more effective in the small version of TE...
To be perfect you should have chosen focus (more or less the man) and aperture (f-stop as high as possible) in manner that the stone were beyond the hyperfocal distance, so getting a perfect focus from the stone to infinity.
Congratulations and TFP, Dario.

Hi Jonas
Interesting frame with this abstract looks of the Egyptian Sphinx.
It's a very nice natural sculpture.
Cheers.

Hello Jonas
You managed to fool us & effectively so! Your low POV, the closeness to the cairn, definitely makes the man look smaller. I see you used a Panasonic for this picture (which I had so far & was a fantastic camera), where minimum is restricted to F/8. If you'd shot with one of your DSLRs, a narrower aperture would have brought the man into focus & completed the illusion perfectly. Just my thoughts...but hat's off to your idea, concept & execution. Well done!
Best Regards
Angshu

Bonjour Jonas,
heureusement qu'il y a la note car je croyais vraiment que la structure de pierre était plus haute que l'homme debout.
Il est vrai que si on regarde bien la DOF fait que l'homme apparait plus flou que les pierres.
Regards.

Well done
