Twilight zone Photo

Photographer’s Note

Le Salar d'Uyuni est surréaliste: la fine couche d'eau de pluie sur la surface salée, blanche et plane fait de cet endroit un immense miroir ou se reflète le ciel...

La version originale était celle tirée directement de ma caméra, sans intervention. Candide!

Dans la version finale, j'ai corrigé avec Photoshop:
- Niveaux auto.
- Contrastes auto.
- Luminosoté/Contraste
- Corrections selectives (diminué les bleus et les rouges)
- Netteté
- Cadrage blanc.

Yves, ton cliché est vraiment étonnant! Effectivement, on se demande dans quelle dimension tu te trouves... le sol n'existe que grâce au personnage ! cela doit être extraordianire à voir. très bonne photo! J'adore !

Bonjour Yves,

On dirait que cet homme est suspendu dans le vide. C'est, comme tu le dis, surréaliste, on se croirait sur une autre planète. L'effet de réflection est superbe. Très jolie composition et couleurs également.
Bien vu!
Quentin.

As you say this is surreal.
The reflections are amazing, and I lik that the man has a reflection and a shadow.
I can't believe that this is how you saw it,well done.
Regards Jean.

Incredible scene, and very-well captured: without the figure the photograph doesn't work - it's like he's standing on a vast piece of glass!
Love it.
Thanks
Brian

Hi Yves,
First I'll put this straight in the favs ...

Now the critique ... Just love the reflections, so sharp and the dubble of the guy plus the shadow is beautiful.
Excellent photo !

Bonjour Yves
Effectivement extaordinaire, ce salar recouvert d'un peu d'eau... En coupant un peu les hexagones au premier plan, on aurait encore plus de mal à imaginer la réalité...

Hi Yves,
I have been to the Salar myself twice. I have never seen it with water. After seeing this image I think I must go back there again!
Amazing composition - standing in between the clouds!
Excellent work!

Bravo alors Yves..!!
Bien à toi et bon weekend.

Hi Yves,
Its just a dreamlike shot.The land and sky almost mingle together to give a dramatic shot.

Hi Yves,

this image sets a very high quality mark on any further attemp to post a shot from the Uyuni desert...absolutely awesome scene...thank you for sharing...cheers, arturo

jdwyer264 (1082) 2007-03-09 5:13

Incredibly heavenly shot.
Amazing landscape, I still don't get it!
Mad.
Well captured, the human element, or focal point was essential as the landscape alone may just look like a composite.
Well captured once more.
See what you think of my shot 'Two skies, no beaches'

Salut Yves,

Difficile d'ajouter un mot à la suite des autres, mais j'adore le côté surréaliste de cette photo en plus de sa qualité technique. Bravo !

Amicalement, Jean

stevep (556) 2007-10-16 21:29

outstanding location for an outstanding photo, what really makes it is that we can see ground under the water -- its adds an interesting forground

WOW, what the hell is this????!!! AMAZING!!!!, so speechless, the place is very cool, seems to be in heaven!!!! great shot!

matt_moi (318) 2008-01-23 5:38

Salut Yves !
Grandiose ! C'est le seul mot qui me vient, enfin non, le premier... Il faut trop que j'y aille à la saison humide !
L'effet magique de ce lieu est extrêmement bien rendu dans cette photo : la composition est excellente et le personnage ajoute beaucoup au rendu final.
Très beau travail !

Totalement fou cette photo. L'homme qui se tient à gauche ajoute beaucoup à la signification et facilite l'interprétation de l'image par l'oeil. Bravo!

Karsten71 (265) 2008-11-10 12:31

Surrealiste!
I love the reflection of the clouds near the horizon. The placement of the guy in the picture puts it all in perspective, nicely done.´
I only wonder whether I would crop the bottom a bit.
Congratulations!
