Description Hello, darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision
That was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence

great scene and reflection. i like the unique feel of having the dock so sharpened against the blurry background. the composition is quite rad. nice job.

Beautiful


What an inspirational image, and some well done work in photoshop, the adjustments are of very high quality.

The depth of field is oddly right on here, never really see such a photograph this intense in its focus with a wide landscape as backround, but I like it, surreal kinda quality keeping interest in whats focused, which is a beautiful reflection, captured so still in the water.

Sharpness and contrast is very good as well, with the adjustments all the clarity is there, with no real lack of boldness in the picture, good job for that.


I would like to see more color in this though, just slightly more saturated, to give the contrast more action, more feeling, but slightly more, nothing too much, and maybe a black framing for this, personal taste of course, no real critizism, for the white border is well placed as is.

fantastic piece of work ya got here, has my vote.

Beautiful image..lovely sepia tone...kind of a mirror into another world...and the short depth-of-feild makes it all the more extravigent The Simon and Garfunkle lyrics go so well with this image...one of the few songs that truly moves me...

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
Beneath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed
By the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence

one of my fave songs...
your photo deserves to share the title...
