Great lights and shadows... Wonderful capture !!!
This looks like a map with the continent in question picking up its roots and moving elsewhere. Tectonics in action! Wonderful shot!
This is Awesome!!!! Lighting and Shadows Shot Perfectly!!!!
Nice textures and light here! Very cool light and shadow. Great abstract, Harry.
with the combination of light and shadow, it seems that a horse is jumping out of this ground !!! outstanding work !!!
Very very well taken !!!!
Aah!! I love this one. Well seen and Captured, Harry :)
It's sad that the "new" renderosity has made finding all your series numbers so hard, because those of us who know your gallery know that this is one of many, many shots of peeling paint. But the numbers don't matter...it's another very complex and richly contrasted capture of the continental feel of peeling paint. Something you do as no one else on RR. I agree with Denise's comparison to tectonic movement: tectonic plates. (A dumb joke: You go to a homeware store, and ask for tectonic plates, cups and saucers.) (I told you it was a dumb joke. Barely worth repeating...) Your closeups of these phenomena bring home the rich array of cataclysm contained in the smallest entities. And the combination of strong morning light, with lots of space around the peels, makes for a really topographical feeling. You have shadows from outside the shot too---a few long "pole" shadows coming from the right: These cast a longitudinal feeling to the whole. With minimal shots like these, zeroing in on just the right place, and getting the light and shadow just right, are key. As in many of your peeling paint shots, the light and shadow are major players because you caught (and finessed) a harsh early morning light with its attendant deep shadows. Another terrific "process" piece, reminding me that peeled paint is a catastrophic event, if seen this close up. Tons going on in it. Wonderful, Harry.
