Great image. Flicking through the images on a site with so many stunners and yours made me hang around and stare. Beautiful shot.

Paul Bartholomew Many thanks! I'm really pleased it had that effect.

Wow, what an image! Stairs into the heaven. Wow! There are many things to praise but I want to stress out two, your vision and color. I assume it is a composition of two images, one of the reflection of the boy, and another of the same landscape without him. I wonder how you have come to that idea. Was it on the spot, or did you return to the place later? I believe images like this deserve a story, and I hope you give some comments.

Another thing I want to praise is your use of color. I am so, so happy that you did not turn it black and white! I really like those gentle touches? of color. I looked through your website, and discovered the album, selective desaturation. I really liked it. Following your photos, I also lied your use of grain, and in general, your approach to photography as art, not high tech equipment potential demonstration, that is so prevalent on 1x.com

I wish there were more images like yours here

Paul Bartholomew What a lovely comment - thanks so much. This is actually quite a simple image with just a little trickery and a very limited colour edit.

It is not a composite, but this image of my son walking across the stepping stones of a ford has been cropped, turned upside down before I cloned his actual (not reflected) feet away, using adjacent stones as the source. For the colour I used Nik Software's Color Efex Pro Duplex filter with default coloration and then removed it from all but the white areas to accentuate the golden glow.

A bit of global sharpening after resizing and that was it.

I'm really glad you like it and that you took the time to look at the images in my non-published space.

Thanks again

Paul
