I really enjoy the lighting and scale in this - the fact that you can really see just how massive those pillars are, especially in comparison to the man, really bring a lot more to the feeling invoked by the photo. Aptly titled as well. Great job! ^_^

Awesome work!
This picture is all about contrasts: the huge columns agains the tiny man... the dark colours of the columns agains the white clothes of the man... Such big contrasts makes this picture quite impressive by creative a huge visual impact. I see myself overwelmed by the size and weight of these structures to end up surprised by seeing the little man among them.

Really impressive. Great photo!

PS: you got my vote in the ANACHRONISM contest in the OWP club.

I have to say very thought provoking. The picture has been converted really well to b/w. I like that fact the man stands out, dresed in white, it adds a focus to the image

djoel In reply to chilipalmer [2005-06-17 23:12:50 +0000 UTC]

Again, I was lucky... I composed the pillars but I though It would be boring if I don't include someone to give a sense of scale. So I waited waited and waited... 30 minutes had passed, I almost running out of patience then suddenly this guy appeared and smoke there for a while which give me time to shot several times... This one turn out to be the shot of the day!!

Thank you so much my friend for your continued support!! I really really appreciate it....

Djoellll... bagus bangettt,,, yang kasi kesan strong buat foto ini texturenya dari pilar2 itu.
Trus, gw pikir smart banget itu si bapak tua dimasukin juga. Kesannya, manusia itu kecil, gak ada artinya .

Makasih yah feedbacknya!!

Pertama2 sih gue poto2 pilar2nya doang... tapi setelah diliat hasilnya kok boring jadi gue nunggu ada orang lewat... 30 mnt nunggu ga ada apa2, gue dah siap2 mo cabut eh tau2 ni orang nongol trus nongkrong situ... bener2 beruntung deh gue

This is just perfectly composed, and I love the contrast between the man's bright attire and dark surroundings. Really heightens the feeling of isolation and solitude.
