Fortwilliam, Scotland. 2005 selective levels and contrast adjustment. Many thanks to ~Dibi and `garrit for the DD and everyone else for your kind words and support!!  much appreciated! * also featured by  &  . Again, many thanks! *www.garyannettphotography.com Daily DeviationGiven 2006-01-23:: Dark Days :: by *GVA I like it, it reminds me of "Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog" by Kasper David Friedrich. A good portrayal of the untamed power of nature! (Suggested by ~Dibi and Featured by `garrit) Comments
 Wow, breathtaking!
-- -you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think- Tell me your secret and I'll tell you mine  You really have to be proud of this. The tones are perfect. I like how the detail is almost completely gone in the silhouette. You almost feel his triumph. I'm off to see your gallery for sure.
 Really nice scheming picture. i like the lighting into the cloud and the silhouette of the man
 -- Art is a language, a state of mind, the way to explain feelings... peace  This is an amazeing photo!! I love how everything looks "shadowed" and the clouds are so white, and then it's dark again as you get up into the sky.. Fantastic!
~Lisa & David~   This is fantastic, so dramatic
  Wow...amazing as always...
--  Member of...  ~HogWild & *Maximum-Ride-Fans WARNING: This person is prone to the over-usage of emoticons!          Great shot!!
 a very powerful image
the silhouette looks impressive against the dramatic clouds   - myles-- How about you just take your pint and go sit the f**k down.  That's pretty intense, a definite fave!
-- If you're so 'special,' where's your helmet? I don't have a problem with Authority, I have a problem with the small minded people who wield it. [link]  |
