The tight cropping that eliminated any other objects and thus the sense of scale, created a unique image. The relative positioning of the lines and the human figure are done perfectly. I also like the contrast between the figure and the rest of the image, which enhances the perception of the "opposition".
Congratulations with this great success!

The B&W conversion you did is excellent. The picture indeed is very dramatic. Another striking characteristic is the angle of view, due to which there are view lines going in various directions. That creates an unusual perception of multiple dimensions and an impression of some sort of richness. The placement of the gate done according to the law of 1/3, which contributes to the overall graphical "correctness" of the image.
The tones except for the sky are mild, which allows for good perception of the details, while preserving the dramatic atmosphere created by the sky.
This is a very remarkable work from my point of view. My congratulations!
Best regards ? Armen

Fantastic work!
You achieved an amazing mood and an atmosphere of everlasting love in this exceptional image.
The lack of colors concentrates the attention on two main details of the image - the young couple and the ship. Both are symbols of progress and movement. The smooth transition of the ground into the water creates an impression of philosophical unity of those two main objects.
I also like the very mild center-weighted lighting, that helps to direct the attention.
Overall it is a great image deserving the highest grades of appreciation.
Best regards ? Armen

This is a very remarkable image. The amount of fuzziness is such that adds necessary dynamism, yet doesn't disturb the content.

What an amazing play of shadows! This is one of the most remarkable works to reveal the unique and subtly life of shadows in the photography.
It is also remarkable how the lines in different directions blend into a single monolithic composition carrying a snapshot of anyone?s life.
The light is very well balanced revealing almost all shages of gray of the zone system.
Great success!

Extraordinary in its kind! I love the distribution of light throughout the image and the moderate grain. I like the peer at the right, which adds some mistery to this image.

I'm thinking that if you digitally remove the horses, the image will have more powerful message.

Anne, I didn't mean that it is an artificial posterization effect. It looks naturally "posterized", which makes it very attractive and unique.

The posterization effect works very well in this work. It creates an interesting blend of fuzziness and depth. The enhanced contrast emphasizes the depth. What is also interesting about this work is the use of space.

Hi Robert,
Quite a long time I hadn't have a chance to check your new works. I'm glad I did. You have many interesting new images. This one is awesome! This lighting is spectacular, and creates an amazing, almost, extraterrestrial atmosphere.
How did you take it? At night? Don't reveal if it is s secret :-)
Congratulations and good luck. This is a big winner - 7++.
I think it would be nice to have it a little bit larger. It would look very impressive.
Regards - Armen

A "real" photo! Why real? Because I think the photography in a large part is about moments that can only be caught by a camera. Yes, one can do all kind of post-processing with photos, but where is the line that divides the photography and the other types of fine arts. There are things that only photography can express.
From my point of view this a perfect example of that thesis.
What I like specifically about this image is the balance between symmetry and asymmetry in both geometrical and expressive points of view. Look, the image is symmetrically divided between these three people, but each "divider" is different. And they are different in their essence.
Also there is an interesting harmony of horizontal lines up to the sculptures of the fountain, where that symmetry vanishes.
Technically I think this photo is simple enough to make it so expressive and truthful. The correct exposure "relieves" any notion of tension.
Overall this is a great work!
Immagine molto bella!
Best regards, Armen.
