Wow that bright sun definately adds something to the photo! It's a pity about the lens flare but it kind of adds to the photo in a way! Beautiful photo though

Hi Alexander,
You posted this picture on my 'story' forum thread the other day, so I wanted to write and say something about it. I've looked at it, and my mind keeps coming back to the end of Kubrick's film 2001, where the astronaut, Bowman crosses the event horizon, and for him time and space perform a kind of moebius flip, and he finds himself inside the universe of his own life and sees himself simultaneously as an infant and as an old man.
Your photograph, with the figures in the distance and the horizon beyond, has something of the same mysterious elegaic quality. For me, the little girl, quite marvellously illuminated and rimmed in light, and the adult woman are one and the same, different steps on the same continuum. The way they're moving away suggests some important, transitional moment, but is it a rising or a setting sun they're moving into ? which part of the loop are they on ?
Maybe I'm being fanciful, but I like to imagine there is some wisdom far beyong her apparent age in the way the child is turned towards the woman, as if she's just as likely to be leading as being led. And with her arms slightly raised, is she seeking, or offering a hand of guidance ?
I personally like the lens flare in the picture. It forms a line from the foreground, the viewer's position, though the figures, into the heart of the sun beyond, adding a depth to the picture and echoing Bowman's evolutionary line stretching from his present, directly into the heart of the cosmos.
Well, that's my initial take on your piece. Thanks for submitting it. Bye for now
yours
HAL

wow, thank you for your cool comment! i haven't seen the film though

You haven't seen '2001 - A Space Odessy ? That's like saying you haven't seen Hitchcock's Psycho, or Welles' Citizen Kane !
It's one of the films of the twentieth century. Kubrick was one of the giants of cinema and this is amongst his most important. it may be nearly 40 years old, but every sci-fi film ever made since then walks in it shadow. Terminator; The Matrix; I, Robot; you can trace the whole history of man versus machine in the cinema to the quiet menace of HAL, the supercomputer in '2001'.
Okay, sorry for the film buff rant, I'm just surprised that's all. Go see it - if you like film, it's a must see.

what an awesome shot!
with the glow around them, and the sun spilling it's light through the gaps in the mountain valleys. It really sets the scene, and to be honest, this passes off as a scene from a movie or something.
really nice
