I like that the two sides have different lighting. It actually gives a feeling of having two choices up ahead. Go to the dark side!

I agree with you Ana, I like the idea of having the choice between the positive right and the negative left...This MAKES the Image !!
(but still don't know if I will choose the dark side! like you ;)

Ana, I like your take on it!

Absolutly love this shot. Well done. Very crisp and vibrant.

Congrats on the feature Dan!
I can't add much to the acclaim above. A stunning image and total aloneness. (As opposed to some of the submitted images of people alone, who by virtue of being photographed are not truly alone, this one does it perfectly).

Gorgeous image!

It seems to me that, given a single sun, the lighting (i.e., the source, size, direction and intensity of the light) is the same on both sides of the photo. The angle of view may differ and the landscape may reflect the light differently from one side to the other, but the lighting is the same.

Other than that nitpicking point, what Ana says is what I say: *plus quam perfectum*

Thank you all for your fabulous feedback. It's much appreciated.

I shot this from the bow of my Dad's boat while on our yearly fishing trip. Though I shared this shot in the theme of "Alone", I was all but alone. Instead, filled with joy to have the opportunity to share this special time with my Dad. Aren't photos fabulous? Though they can convey a specific theme, they are never anything more than a starting point to many possible stories.

(Think I'm going to print this one up for my Dad and drop it under the Christmas tree.)

Wow!!! What a stunning gorgeous picture. My kind of place. Wonderful photo.
