Splendid composition. I would like to be there. Keep looking allways for new angles that give a landscape the possibility to express itself throught you camera. Congratulations from Madrid.

Very good close-up and scenic in the distance. I think it would be nice if you could have positioned the camera between the rails and have gotten both tracks too.

très jolie composition ! le reflet des nuages sur le rail est suprenant.. il s'agit vraiment du chemin qui relit deux points.

Strong geometric structures, and a very interesting composition of "cool" colors. Seems a little tilted to the left, make me feel like falling over.

etiennejr (1022) 2004-08-23 8:51

Impressive! I like the color setting, the grays and blues. Very nice. I've heared a lot about the railway, and I can't wait to get on it when it's finished. And you have a good sky the complete the picture. Well done!

Looking at the PoV of this photo, I am not sure if your age believeable? Let me be frank with you, Cheuk Hin Tsang, if I don't see your student ID, I would say that your introduction is a joke.

Cheuk,

tonyking (1612) 2006-03-02 5:54

Hi again,
This is another great image and I love the perspective you've captured with the very low camera angle. Again, I like the contrast between the man-made form of the tracks against the natural forms of the landscape but I thought it may look better if it was rotated back to level, which is why I did a workshop.
Also, I love your note. It's pleasantly informative. Many others could use this as a good example for their photos because I feel that it really helps teach us something about these places that many of us may never get to visit.

Hugs,
Tony

dear cheuk
I guess I am so lucky I came across your photo.For a beginner like me looking at your masterful art is such an honor. I can't tell you how much I'm delighted.A great combination of technique and artistry is demonstrated in your photo.
Light ,color and contrast are well balanced and the only word that I could use to describe your pic is :PERFECT.
I'm looking forward to more great pix from u.

Hi,Cheuk!

A beautiful photo, very well composed with the dramatic touch.

marknunnerley (2780) 2006-11-04 8:38

Hi Cheuk,
thanks for your critique yesterday. Always appreciated. I tell you what, you have a good eye for an 18 year old. Anyway I came across this image and felt it needed a workshop. Nothing really wrong with the image, just felt it would also look good as a b&w sepia print with more contrast and a more panoramic crop. I wanted to get a deeper richness. You know like your image of the smokers hands has?
I looked at the other workshops but felt that the original unlevelness of the line is right as it adds tension.
Regards,
Mark
