Peter41951 Posted February 1, 2007 Share #2 Posted February 1, 2007 What a shot. The patterns produced are framed very well indeed. Super photo. It should look very good indeed displayed on a wall. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmr Posted February 1, 2007 Share #3 Posted February 1, 2007 Sam, beautiful, like a shot from the dawn of photography - well done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
azzo Posted February 1, 2007 Share #4 Posted February 1, 2007 I'd realy like to see this one flipped 180. An extremely wonderful image Sam. Azzo Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samwells Posted February 2, 2007 Author Share #5 Posted February 2, 2007 Thanx all for your kind comments. This recently acquired Visoflex is a strange beast, esp. as I insist on using it handheld...it's a bit like harnessing a Victorian steam engine to the front of a Ferrari...it's kinda like 'think up a really wierd idea and then use all the genius of German engineering to make it work' :-) Azzo - I'll try that flip...might make it really surreal. cheers: Sam Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans Roggen Posted February 2, 2007 Share #6 Posted February 2, 2007 Like Azzo I think this is probably even nicer upside down. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnwolf Posted February 2, 2007 Share #8 Posted February 2, 2007 I like the composition of the flipped version better, but the mass of toning in the trees make it look top-heavy. I'd stick with the original vision. Great seeing and very expressive presentation. John Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
azzo Posted February 2, 2007 Share #9 Posted February 2, 2007 IMHO, the flipped version makes much more sense and is also more pleasing to the eye. Thanks for taking the time and trying it out and again, very nicely captured Sam. Azzo Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilfredo Posted February 2, 2007 Share #10 Posted February 2, 2007 I also like the flipped version. This photo has a very mysterious element to it, and reminds me of the pictorialist style of the Photo Secession.

samwells Posted February 3, 2007 Author Share #11 Posted February 3, 2007 Wilfredo, John, Azzo - thanks for your observations...I guess I'll fram a print, hang it on the wall, and see which orientation is best to live with! Thanx all for looking. cheers: Sam Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEd Posted February 4, 2007 Share #12 Posted February 4, 2007 Hi Sam, Like many others, I like the second version. Thanks for sharing. Ed. . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
farnz Posted February 4, 2007 Share #13 Posted February 4, 2007 Sam, An excellent abstract; well spotted! The image possesses so much texture and tone but also has strong lines and shapes. FWIW, I prefer the upside down version. Pete. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
