It was one of them days, you know when you feel the flow, and your not rushed. The model is perfectly ok with his inviroment and has no problem just sitting there while you find the angle. But hey thanks for dropping by.

I love this piece. Great feel, great model and all around everything fits perfectly.

The reflection in the water is wonderful, and all the grafitti really adds to the meaning of this photograph.

Great setting by the way, very convientent to have the perfect water, building, and place for your model all in the same spot.

Something that you might just want to try to see how it looks would be toning down the colors. This seems like kind of a melancholy piece, and the colors are very bright and kind of conflict with that. If they were just a little more muted, I think it would match the mood better.

But anyways, great photo. +fav

This photo caught my eye in another Deviant's Favourites. Scanning through the comments, everyone seems to be in awe by the colours. While the colours are beautiful, I think this picture would have just as much impact if it were in black & white, just because it has such strong emotion. With so many pictures of flowers and pretty things, very few people take the time to appreciate the sometimes harsh beauty of everyday life, and even fewer capture it with such beauty as you did. Props, man.

sick-snowangel [2004-07-08 02:20:34 +0000 UTC]

how can i NOT fav this?

it almost looks like it could be a post-apocalyptic landscape, with the graffiti, the grunge, the strikingly vivid colors, and that especially green water

ecko-mob In reply to sick-snowangel [2004-07-14 15:13:33 +0000 UTC]

The green water is simply rain water that's about 3 months old. The rest, well it just came together

My god - this is a highly under-appreciated photo! One of the most impressive captures I have seen on the site - serious! I'm usually one to leave a massive comment on work like this but I'm simply blown away and don't know what to say.

The composure is perfect for what you are trying to convey to the viewer. The subject feels lonely, and the scene does feel / sound silent - almost like listening to the ghosts of the past. By setting the subject to the right of the frame and having the open water and building to the left you've helped accent those moods / feelings.
The flat lighting helps here as well - nothing stands out too much, yet nothing is left out of the picture - you've found that perfect balance and run with it.
The colours - need I say more? They are gorgeous.

Thank you for sharing this with us - it truely is impressive! My only complaint is that it's too small
