Description
When on the salt flat, and already seeing all we were interested in seeing on the island, my brother and i decided to walk away from the island, to take pictures of the island from a different perpective, as we did that i found this trail that led to who know where.Related content

This is truly brilliant !
I love the composition of this photograph, the sense of emptyness and the excellent point of view. This little silouhette is lost in a huge landscape.
Excellent subtle greyshades as well. I love when b&w is not only about black and white
Great work !

i was trying to understand why there was a line of sand going up through the cracks... and i saw the tire marks, perhaps the wiehgt of a vehicle pushed the hard sand dowm, and the soft sand came up. well anyway, great shot. i like it alot. the only negative is that you can see a lot of noise in it.

I can't describe it in words - the feeling what I get from this. But I guess it's feeling good enough, or strange (?) enough to fav this.

whoa. sick perspective. a well deserved feature indeed. my only complaint is the grain/noise, of course some will meet this opinion with aversion suggesting that its part of the shot's atmosphere or something else equally meaningless to me. don't get me wrong though, its not a valid enough complaint to write this shot off because it is just so fantastic. i would fav it, but what good would one more do as you have so many already... besides, it has noise

the noise helps convay the feeling of the salt,

i see. i suppose i have a little better understanding now about the noise and how it relates to the photo, but not completely. i dont know what the function of 'salt' would be here, and though it seems plausible or appropriate enough on land what would it be suggestive of in the sky? (confusing enough on land considering that i dont know what it represents).

well i just used very grainy film that is what gave it the noise but there is no function of salt its simply a salt flat its just allllllll white salt, just imagine it did not have noise, do you think you can feel that there is billions of grains of salt on the floor? and for the sky o well there was not much i could do about, just wish there were more clouds

That is a spectacular shot - it conveys a sense of infinity. Superb.

nothing to add, everything is so balanced, the silhoutte, the pattern of the sand, the grain which perfectly fits into this pic... maybe the horizont is a bit shifted ? propably only my imagination

wow
thats so cool, completely natural?
why is that there? is it just a path?
and how long does it go for, it seems forever in this photo
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well its all hexigons and its scientificaly proven to be natural yet i dont know why in this partictular part its elevated???..., its technically not really a path and i dont know where it ends i did not walk far enough to find that out because i could not seee the end of it
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
LOL, yea it looks like a path though, hmm, i understand why u didnt follow it, it looks endless
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yah it was endless i would imagine, it would have been neat to know where it ended but if i followed it with the car i might get lost in that vast sea of salt
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yea, i cant even see the end in this picture, it looks like it goes for miles literally

I love the feeling of infinity in the picture, It almost feels like the trail is before us and we could walk upon it. I believe this creates an explorative feeling which increases the realism in the picture. And by realism I don't mean naturalism, I mean everyday life feelings and events, such as exploration. This is very well done, although I would (without knowing the outcome or if you've already tried) suggest the horizon line to be tilted a little bit (if possible). It, insteat of creating a line of focus on the figure, pulls the viewers eye away from it in a sense, and this I believe could be reversed.
Anyways, thank you for such a great image captured.
