This is cool ben - in one sense it's very you with the symmetry and contemplation blah blah blah but its so nice to see a shot where everything feels natural and real. The colours are so fresh that I feel like I'm back there, on that tandem with you, screaming everytime you decided to cycle too close to a pothole!! (I can't believe you shot this when we were at millport and I didn't even have a bloody camera with me!!)

The exposure is gorgeously balanced too and it looks like it was done pre-post production!!

More like this please!! xx

very true indeed my friend, it could quite easily be one or the other...or both at the same time.
thanks for the words my friend.

Haha i should have added this but...I also love the painted, Kinkade-esque feeling around the clouds. Can't get over them, hun.

Whoa Ben...it's just frozen...
The concentration is key and full of individual power, along with layered colors
Beauty is beauty, and with a message
You are simply amazing, Ben.
Even in the negative the clouds possess their own stron determination and power.
Beauty and a message.

i adore the space, the negative space, the composition, the sky, everything.
its such a sad, yet beautiful image. the sun makes it happier tho. i think if it were darker, it would have a more lonely sad feel. this is more of a serene feeling.
i absolutley love the wind in her hair, one of the best bits.
god i miss skies like that

Laura-AH [2005-04-26 06:27:52 +0000 UTC]

Love the powerfully dramatic looking sky. It makes her seem so small and insignificant. Like any moment, it will overtake her and make her nothing at all. Composition is awesome. Great piece Ben. As usual.

you know that comment reminded me of a movie.. The Forgotten with....ahhhh with.....can't remember her name - she has blonde/ginger hair and played Clarice in Hannibal i think it was - Jodie Fosters replacement anyway. well if you havent seen it, in the movie people are scooped up by nothing at all and whisked away into the sky. very eerie stuff... but i'm not saying you comments eerie...because your not an eerie person... but you get my drift. thanks Laura, so very kind of you. how has your week been so far? looking forward to the weekend? i know i am...

Very nice, i like how all the colours look soft and pastel-like yet there is a touch of vibrancy about them. It's as if they are bright without being so. Good work.

ah such nice imagery you have given me. i always like looking at people who draw, as someone who is completly and utterly useless at drawing its extremely fascinating how the artist can start to sketch then slowly the form of the image comes out. unlike photography for me the real art in drawing is the creation of it - not the final product. thanks my friend for your words.

It's such a beautiful photo. The location just looks so serene and peaceful, and the large presence of sky just helps it even more. Beautiful as always, Ben. It's such a pleasure to see new work from you.

so pleased that you like it Jenn, you are totally right, the place is really serene and peaceful, its a little island called Cumbrie and the little town on it is called Millport. You can get a ferry across to it and hire bikes and you can cycle round the island in about 2 hours. Great fun!!

thanks very much mate! it was taken on the little island of Cumbrie. I got the train to a place called Largs, then the ferry across to the island. in the only town there (called Millport) we hired out bikes and cylced round the island in 2 hours. was a little gusty as you can see but fun overall. thanks again my friend.

thankyou so very much my friend, well funny you should say that - thats exactly the path i want to go down with my photography. some conceptual ideas while selling a product, i think that would be damn fun - no job would ever be the same and it would challenge you all the time while giving you creative i must be doing something right for you to say that and for that i am deeply gracious.
