Hi Fadel,
I knew what I wanted to say. I just wasn't sure that I could be understood in writing. I think you and Thilo both got it. :)

Excellent capture Thilo, wow those columns seem so much out of place with the landscape.
Love the toning and the sky looks brilliant :-)
Best wishes,

Hi Thilo,
It's a hard thing to explain. I know the human brain tends to reject a lot of what the eye sees, just for the sake of getting through the day efficiently. When people advance in photography or other forms of art, for that matter, they tend to see things differently I think a lot of people have reached that level at this site. It takes skill to put what you see on print, or monitor.

Hi Andre,
yes, this DOES make sense ;-)
what fadel and I do is to give the image more detail, fidelity, richness, structures, textures. this normally implies work on the shadow parts as they give the image visible structures. so your description and your practical example is very good.
best wishes.

Thilo,
I was going for a walk in the woods a couple of weeks ago with my wife. I was trying to explain to her what It was that I liked about your photos and Fadel's. I think the Photoshop work that both of you do in your colour landscapes enhances the shadow areas. To me this forces us to view what our brain at first glance, tells us is not there.
I don't know if this makes any sense to you, but I asked her to think of when you ask a child to paint a tree. A young child will colour the tree's leaves green and the trunk brown. Usually, unless they are an artistic savant, there will be no dark shadows. I compare the childs painting of a tree to a photgraph of a tree that comes back from the drug store photo processor. I think you and Fadel add the shadows and dark areas that are really there when you focus on that tree. You add a kind of super realism. Then I asked her to look into the trees and tell me what percentage of black she sees. She said about 65%. I said, Now do you see what I mean?
I hope this makes some sense?
Andre

Hi Arwa,
in fact, this row is called "street of human rights". on very column, you find parts of one of the human rights articles.

Hi Muzamil,
thanks for the honest feedback. actually, the original image is quite desaturated as well, so I didn't have to change much from the color side.
best wishes,

I like the perspective and those incumbent, dramatic clouds.
The whole scene looks very surreal.

What are the columns of freedom?
I really like the fact that you included people so we can see the enormity of the columns!
Lovely clouds the gray tones of the clouds add to the image a frosty feeling, thilo you did a good job controlling the white balance
Composition and DOF are wonderful! 7/7

Very nice job Thilo,
It is exactly this type of image (slightly desaturated with strong bits of black and grey) that attracted me to your work. As you know, Fadel J also has a similar style.
Great job!

Very potent image. I especially like the strongly textured clouds, and the color palette is one of my favorites. The effect is brooding but not at all gloomy. The person on the walkway challenged me a bit. My first impulse was to remove him. After reflection, though, I am sure you were right to include the figure. It suggests another dimension--another story--than the structures alone. Beautifully done . . .
Cheers,
--George

Thilo,
Good one. I really appreciate that you've chosen to include a human subject in the frame. So many times photographers will forgoe the human elelment in pushing toward a stark, architectural look. In this case the human really warms the scene up as well as provideing the viewer with some sense of scale. The toning gives the scene a muted and flat look. NICE!!
Erik

The softness at the top of the columns gives them a sense of height and receeding - a very nice pic - I love the sky and the color - K
