Alice in Wonderland Photo

Photographer’s Note

There was a small sweet French girl, that tried to climb to one of the beautiful rocky cones, but got scared. So she decided to sit still, covered by a cappadocian rock, while watching at her parents and her older sister, climbing one of the "fairy chimneys".

Photo taken in Pasabag, in Peribacalari Vadisi, also known as "Fairy Chimneys Valley", one of the most spectacular spots of Cappadocia, with formations that go beyond the wildest imagination!

Hello, Hercules!

What a wonderful place! The colors are nice, and I like the texture of the stones, which are also excellent! The inclusion of the little girl is great as a scale and to give life to the scene. Beautiful job! Very well done!

Ciao Hercules,
spettacolare questo posto.
Belle le forme e la resa cromatica. L'inserimento della bambina dà vitalità alla scena.

Eccellente foto lavoro!

Γεια σου Ηρακλή,
Πραγματικά σαν παραμύθι είναι εδώ, όμορφες πορτοκαλί αποχρώσεις ενδιαφέρουσες σπηλιές και η παρουσία της μικρής που δίνει νόημα στη σκηνή και στον έξυπνο τίτλο σου.
Καλό Σαββατοκύριακο, Βασίλης.

Hello Hercules,
A very nicely composed image with an appropriate title. The little girl seems to be lost in a giant ear ! Good light management and fine colours. Well done.

eversmile (5995) 2009-11-07 6:05

That's well done, Hercules!
I love the warm colors of the cavern, and the little girl that seems really lost and still emotioned, in this vast empty space. She is well placed, off-centered in the composition. Bravo.
Regards
Marine

Hola Hércules.
El titulo va muy bien con tu foto, muy interesante lugar con cambios de colores sobre su superficie presentando laberintos que van a diferentes lugares, la presencia de la niña es muy importante en tu excelente foto ya que nos da escala y ver el gran tamaño de las cuevas. La iluminacion sin el uso del flash es impresionante, buen foco que nos permite ver muy buenos detalles de la textura.
Te deseo un buen fin de semana.
Abrazos.

Γειά σου Ηρακλή!
Σαν ακουστικοί πόροι, οι σπηλιές στην κοιλάδα καπνοδόχων των νεράιδων, μένουν επί αιώνες απομεινάρια μίας άλλης ακμάζουσας ιστορικής εποχής, λές και ακούνε! ή μάλλον αναμένουν την δική μας επίσκεψη! Το Γαλιδάκι προσθέτει με την αθωότητά της στη σύνθεση!
Μπράβο!

Surely that is Alice! And you could not find a better title!
This is wonderland and this composition is a marvel. Beautiful shapes and textures, a great sense of space and tridimensionality a a small girl in the right palce!
Well done Hercules, you have accomplished another of your seven labours! (:-)

Warm greetings,

Hello Hercules.
she's so cute! ad she really looks scared, was she going to explore the inside by herself and then got "undecided" when she looked inside ? :)
You caught on the right moment looking for "help", or maybe asking to herself "where are they?".
Good decisive moment you have here.
Cheers
Paulo

muunal (258) 2009-11-07 12:18

Alice was a little bit puzzled!!!

Fantástico lugar muy bien captado en luz y color..la niña es un plus muy acertado...saludos

delpeoples (5722) 2009-11-08 2:22

Geia Sou Hercules, there are many amazing things about this photo. The first of course is the unique nature of these Fairy Chimneys, they are absolutely beautiful and extraordinary. I like the warm tones you have captured (would be interested to know if you have changed the WB) and the clarity of the image. The second thing is this gorgeous little girl. She gives scale to the chimney and looks so small and frightened, but above all you have captured exactly how this beautiful little girl was feeling at the time. Great job, TFS and enjoy your Sunday, Lisa.

ManuMay (10530) 2009-11-08 3:54

Hola Hercules!

Preciosa foto...realmente parece que Alicia se ha sentado a la puerta del otro mundo...estará esperando a sus amigos??!!

Una calidad y calidez de colores muy buena, y el manejo de la luz, como siempre, genial...

Felicidades maestro!

Recibe un cordial saludo

Manu

Hello Hercules! Alice is so cute but also a little scared ... poor thing ... I would be too, I try to climb sometimes and in the end I don't know how to come down again :))) Great shot of an amazing place, wonderful the overall orange tone adding a warm moment, love it. Take care, have a great Sunday, Barbara.

Dyerco (8980) 2009-11-08 9:14

Hi Hercules
She makes for a great photo. This is certainly a must see area if I ever get to Turkey. Good shooting. You have captured some wonderful texture here.

Bonito encuadre para esta foto, con un atractivo color.
Muy acertado el título para esta niña en un escenario maravilloso.

Un saludo.

Dashab (785) 2009-11-09 1:19

Good morning, Hercules,
What a beautiful capture! She looks so small next to those big rocks and holes. But her face says that if given some time, she might get up the courage to explore some of them!
Your shot is beautifully luminous, the colours are wonderfully warm, the sharpness excellent and the composition flawless, all combining perfeclty to illustrate the story you are telling.
Thanks and have a good week! Dasha

Cricri (43030) 2009-11-09 1:39

leonorkuhn (13513) 2009-11-09 9:31

Hi Hercules,

This place is really incredible, these formations are wordless, it seems a work of fiction. Wonderful composition, the little girl looks so small beside these monuments.

Greetings
Leonor
