Reprocessed a lot closer to the original RAW file. One of my first ever submissions, it's scary to think how much my life has changed from the time I took this photo when I was still just doing a part time photography course to get the year by.

A wonderful picture! even if the main subject seems to be the fence, it's the word "freedom" that cames to my mind when I look at this photo!

But then again... beautiful art should be shared with the world. Petty thieves will steal shit anyway.

The old version was just too awesome and kept getting stolen. I don't blame him for keeping it to himself.

your photos make it seem like you are able to walk into worlds that nobody else will ever get to see. it's as if you make a hobby out of hopping into some otherworldly place and bringing back these breathtaking shots. it never ceases to amaze me!

Kataklysmicemperor66 [2011-01-19 10:01:34 +0000 UTC]

For a 7second exposure this is quite astonishing and without a polirizing filter.
Your use of colour even although you say it was processed a bit it still looks breathtaking.
The depth of field together with the lights flickering in the distance makes you just want to reach further into the picture.
Its a pitty though that such places needs to be enclosed by fences...
Good too see some South African waterscapes photos here on DA.
