Fantastic lighting and beautiful reflections! Somehow that motor looks very misplaced. Other than that its a classic image, Kaj. Congrats!

Hi and thank you all for the nice comments. I appreciate it alot, even though I forgot to say so ;-)
Dear Kathleen, thanks for analyzing the photo. It was really interesting to read your thoughts. Regarding my words, I dont agree with them myself, but I thought they were funny, so it goes well with the humor category. I think its great the couple made you think of the connection between the two, thats what I like about the photo myself, the archtype (or general) posture of the man and woman. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
I'm also happy you chose this photo to continue the debate from the forum, because it is a good example. I agree with you that it can be annoying not knowing whether a photo is fake or not, and sometimes if the photographer tries to pass it as being real, I end up not liking the photo however great it looks. In this case, I thought I didnt have to explain that the sky was altered. I've never seen such a black sky, and I'd be surprised if anyone had. I didnt add anything that wasnt already there though. I emphasized the dramatic sky with only the burn/dodge photoshop tools, tools which has been used throughout time in wet darkrooms. Why did I do it, if the photo could go without? Because my taste dictated it *wink* I am a sucker for drama, and the sky symbolizes my view on the connection between the couple.
I appreciate the chance to explain myself, dont be affraid to critize Kathleen. Thats what we all came here for....
best regards, Lars.
PS. This is the untouched photo (though desaturated) without the burn/dodging.

I'm crazy about your face. It was created for photography. What I love in particular about your gallery is the stringent concentration you put into capturing the same facial expression in a million different moods. That is so bad-ass and highly inspiring. Do you have a stockaccount somewhere? *lol* I'd love to have your gorgeous face on my photoshop workspace ;-)
Keep it up!

"Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out Out brief candle!
Life is but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing". - Shakespeare

Thought I'd pay the famous photopoet of usefilm a visit. This is a perfect example why I have such a hard time commenting on your photos. They are so often beyond me *lol* I love looking at them, and its evident that theres so many things to say to a photomanip like this, but my english just stops when things get complex. I hope you understand, because I totally treasure the many great comments you've left on my photos.
ciao from Denmark.

[a little poem to go with the flow]
Beauty as old as new
lost in a sea of sand
Water flows through blood
Time older than man
In the essence of life
Begin and end alike
For the time stands still
Where the wind blows
Water over sand hills.

Hi and many thanks for the comments! Michael, ofcourse I didnt copy this out of a book :-) Its a church in my city called church of Sct. Lucas, I've uploaded another photo of it not long ago. In PS, I used a monochromatic channelmixer to get the special b/w, the border and scratches was created with various brushes.
I'm happy you liked the image.
Lars.
