no time, a photo from Mandalay, North

Photographer's Note

From Amarapura, the famous bridge of U Bein. A peaceful place where whe can see this intact land. When I was there, I forget the time.
(Not exactly the same pattern in this repost; same place few minutes later. We can see better the mist here.)
WS : Crop in the sky, SP calc. No Neat Image.

Great mood captured! But I cannot see the ducks :(

fredon (5052) 2004-05-22 8:02

Great mood here! The tones you chose are beautiful. I particulary like the silhouettes and reflections. The mist in distance adds a lot to the mood. A great capture.

elroyie (2750) 2004-05-22 8:04

Good atmosphere, very god composed picture and the sepia contributes a lot.

Isabelle (9046) 2004-05-22 8:24

this picture invites to a comfortable silence and contemplation, Pascal.
this image begs to be turned to sepia...
everything is peaceful: the guys on the left are just stand (fishing?) the boat seems to go veeeeeeeeeeeery slowly... the wind doesn´t blow. (in my mind) one can hear only a bird singuing... or a dog barking and the sound of the oar in the water... someone laughs...
fantastic. my experience looking to this picture is far more related to my ears than to my eyes...

Trčs belle photo. Une atmosphčre bucolique donne une majestueuse impression de calme etnous transporte hors de notre temps.
Splendide composition Pascal.

This picture is an invitation to relax comtemplating this amazing landscape. It seem an old postcard.

Very wonderful scene, Pascal!
I really like the tone here, very nice composition of tree, people and boat. Very nice shot, indeed.

RGatward (20108) 2004-05-22 9:18

Too late to say anything original, but really vety good landscape.

MKING (3054) 2004-05-22 9:25

The way the sharp foreground just melts into the distance at the horizon is magical. Your sepia treatment suits this one superbly.

RegisMinot (1543) 2004-05-22 9:53

Sharp ! Well composed ! Quiet ! A picture for an exhibition. Very beautiful.

vbourrut (32482) 2004-05-22 10:32

Dommage que l'arbre soit coupé sur la droite de l'image, sinon j'aime beaucoup, trčs belle lumičre et composition réussie ! du trčs beau travail !

Porteplume (4036) 2004-05-22 11:46

Trčs belle composition!
Et cette atmosphčre étrange et féérique, avec la brűme qui efface le paysage au loin, et ces couleurs douces proches du sépia. Gae a raison, il fait bon s'arręter pour contempler...

dominique (11414) 2004-05-22 12:00

Une belle image , je trouve le cadrage tres bon et les couleurs parfaite , j'aime l'ambiance de la photo . beau travail .

pridel (233) 2004-05-24 6:25

Je suis un fan, alors forcément je vais perdre un peu d'objectivité, mais justement, la critique étant subjective, je ne vois pas comment échapper ŕ ce plaisir. Oui c'est encore une trčs belle photo que tu nous offres la. Une superbe compostion, une tonalité et une atmosphčre qui n'apprtiennt qu'ŕ toi. bravo et merci

eleparc (24063) 2004-05-24 12:54

A favourite. Superb composition and much better than the original version.

aznegrao (10316) 2004-10-31 9:50

Otima apresentaçăo em sephia, que em conjunto com os elementos no enquadramento deram contornos epicos a imagem. Otimo trabalho Pascal, parabens.

Lio (861) 2004-11-06 11:23

Je suis vraiment trčs heureux de découvrir ta galerie. tes photos sont vraiment magnifiques. Celle-ci a une composition excellente ŕ mon avis. Chaque élément y est bien posé et l'oeil se ballade tranquillement (j'ai envie de dire "au rythme du courant de la rivičre") des deux personnages dans l'eau au bateau qui les rejoins, puis ŕ l'arbre, puis aux maisons de l'arričre-plan. Une grande douceur s'en dégage. Trčs trčs réussi. Félicitation.

artealfa (86) 2004-11-06 11:57

partha (14023) 2005-10-22 13:18

this pic overwhelmed me. The pic is so clear and mystic. The composition is perfect. It is like a story and u tell that perfectly.

Mistral (15416) 2005-11-01 16:04

Special image. Gave a sort of atmosphere. It talks.
No need to say more. Just look and breath. (And want to come back there for the tird time!). GREAT SHOT!
Best regards.

Hi Pascal, I'm very pleased to have discovered this photo through the TE home page. It's absolutely beautiful. The composition - with the combination of the river bend and figures - is perfect. So are the exposure and the toning. Wonderful. And I'll make it a favourite of mine too. Stephen

neelkaak (458) 2006-09-12 1:33

What a peaceful, calm and quiet mood you have captured in this landscape! Excellent composition - the two man at the lower left corner creates a nice balance with the tree at the right. Great depth and tones. Thanks for sharing.
Regards. Kazi

franciru (112) 2006-09-12 1:34

From the dead tree to the mist in the background to the wonderful variations in contrast this picture has it all, the only thing is I wish there was a little more space on the right side of the tree but still it makes a perfect picture.

Hello Pascal,
This is exotic, calm, moody, serene, minimalist, artistic and poetic. Choice of sepia, horizontal framing, silhouettes and mist is great. The cottages, dead tree, boat, boat passangers, figures in water look just like placed in exact places for a motion picture setting. Excellent atmosphere! Bravo.

mcassio (198) 2007-02-07 7:25

Very nice composition, it seems to be a place lost in time. Great sepia effect. TFS.

jvivar (58) 2007-02-14 11:50

The atmosphere invites to a long contemplation. The tree adds a very dramatic element of sharp lines superimposed to the soft landscape on the background. This picture gives me a great visual delight!!!

picardo (2459) 2007-02-14 11:53

Wow.. the sepia tones looks fantastic and the whole composition has a special mood. The fog on the background hidding the houses and the tree... everything is great!
Excellent work

Energysavingelk (7834) 2013-09-03 10:04

Bonsoir Pascal,

this is great photography. Side ratio, boat, leafless tree, the reflections on the water and the conversion into sepia (or something similar) leave no more open wishes. Well done!
