Description
Flair byMystifying beauty
Born deep within
This twilight sky
Mysteries have evolved
And no one knows
The true meaning of this place
Or when the tale
Will unfold
Sunset has gone away
Twilight comes once more
Radiance and mystifying beauty
Born deep within
A place of everlasting grace
No one can see the island
No one can see
What this place really is
But we know that something is there
We know that it exists
For belief is born
Out of faith
And now we can finally see
The mystifying beauty
Born deep within
This twilight sky
Where life reigns
And fairy tales seem real
Finally
We understand
And though the day
Has gone away
We can see
True beauty in this place
Now,
The dance of life
Has fully begun
And we finally see
That beauty can exist
Even in a dying world
Where nothing grows
And everything seems hopeless
And we see that
The mystifying beauty
Born deep within
This twilight sky
Has become clearer
And we finally see
The light
Thanks Kate

Even though there is enhancement to photography, it's a great creation!

thanks,
Enhancements in photoshop are not my preference. But this one seemed to just need to go in that direction.

In my eyes those photoshop filters that simulate glare are very annoying, but I guess most people like it..
nice colors again.

Thanks Alexander for your comment.
In the old days...when i started taking pictures glare was a real issue, coated optics were expensive and hard to come by. Today, lenses have improved so much that even the poorest made leneses are better than the ones I used to use.
The effect fairly faithfully reporduces how it would have looked using an uncoated lens, so from that perspctive, i think PS has technically done a good job of emulation. However, having said that, flair is and was a nasty problem. It is not something that is usually valued and certainly I do not. But this shot did lend itself to this kind of a manipulation, so i don't appologize for doing it. That does not mean to say that I am gung ho and moving in this direction professionally or experimentally.
Thanks again for your prespective.
I hope you have a really good weekend.

Glare in general is a pretty cool thing. Sometimes I try to get a glare on some pictures. I just don't like this "perfectness" of the ones in Photoshop. Some people woudn't even recongnize that it isn't natural.
Thanks for accepting critique
Have a nice weekend, too.

Glare of this nature is virtually impossible to get with modern lenses without image degradation, so really the only option of PS. If you really want it, try to et an old uncoated lens. (You will have to work out how to attach it to your camera of course and exposures will be manual)
Photography is an exercise in compromise. That is where the challenge lies. If you move too far in any direction, with any setting, lens, light set up, ASA, or ISO, any variable really, you loose something else. This is why cameras can not take pictures, only photographers can. In the class i teach, i try to emphasize this fact. Knowing it well, helps to increase the creative capacity of the photographer.
ps...I did not read any critique in your message. Just a personal statement. I too do not critique people work unless asked. It is not m y place to judge the artistic merits of someone elseโs journey.

you are absolutely right about the thing between photographer and camera.
But actually - even today - I often managed to have a little glare on my photos. When you don't look directly into the sun but nearly, you get it. The one of today had like 8 edges and was just a bit there. I can upload it into my scraps if you want to, or did I misunderstand you?

okay, is that a boat? no offense. my eye-sight is TERRIBLE and i've been out in the sun all day. lol.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
lol....absolutely no offence taken.
No it is not a boat. ( live on the prairies....not a boat in sight for miles and miles). But it is th etop of a grain elevator....but I agree, having grown up on the shipping lanes....it does indeed look like a boat.

I have dreamed of living on an island. But I have been land lockled my whole life. My brother is a ships engineer. he has travelled all over the world. I have visited a few islands, an dI have loved each time and each place. maybe someday it will be possible.
have a great weekend.

I like the scenery its like I'm there watching it from that view
where did you take it?
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
the picture was taken early in the morning, on the prairies of canada. There was a low lying fog and clouds. The top of the elevator broke through the fog just as the sun came up behind it. I was hoping that this would happen, and I was ready, in about the right spot...(I had to move about 50 feet). It was taken 1.5 miles away from the elevator with a 300mm lens.

What province in Canada? I might of been there...

Like I said in my comments it is not my usual style, but I have to agree, even I seem to lik eit more than the there one. Both however are originals from totally different digital negative sets.
