Embrace

Posted by AG (London, United Kingdom) on 27 July 2006 in People & Portrait.

This is from the same early morning beach shoot as ‘Contemplation’ but at a moment when the sea mist was really quite dense offering a rather low contrast image. What you see is a heavy crop from what could be pulled from the mist in PS but with little added and rather a lot taken out . .

* I love the mood in both of these shots. A great result in difficult conditions.[reply]Heath @ 2006-07-26 08:58:26

* It's a good shot. The people in the water makes the shot even better. The photo would have been a bit empty without them even though the attention is drawn to the hughing couple.[reply]Erik - HedinMedia @ 2006-07-26 10:08:48

* Perfect! I really like that misty background. This photo looks like something shot long ago. It's timeless.[reply]micki @ 2006-07-26 10:45:23

* I think this photo has a Zen-like feel to it. I love the inclusion of the stone as a balance to the couple embracing. Well done.[reply]Jeff @ 2006-07-26 10:51:12

* lovely mood shot, i really like the graininess - i can't work out if theres colour in that band of water in the foreground[reply]david @ 2006-07-26 13:14:29

* This is really striking - your crop worked well. Looks like a shot from the 40s - people trying to enjoy their summer holidays during the war.[reply]cat @ 2006-07-26 15:13:26

* Very nice mood shot, and perfectly composed.[reply]Paul @ 2006-07-26 16:42:54

* I like the way the beach and sea merge but the texture in the foreground is kept so well.[reply]geof @ 2006-07-26 16:59:04

* Just fantastic! This is definitely one of my favourites of yours.

* Looks kind if scary, because it´s so grey and grainy but the couples silhouette gives a warm feeling. I like it.[reply]Karl Baumann @ 2006-07-26 19:43:40

* its such an outstanding frame... incredible mood and composition![reply]sleepless dream @ 2006-07-26 21:29:24

* How romantic and the way you processed it adds to the telling of the story.[reply]Sherri @ 2006-07-26 22:35:26

* These beach shots are just awesome! I love the hint of colour coming through and the graininess blending with the sandy beach patterns. The merging couple just top it off, beautiful.[reply]fotojo @ 2006-07-27 00:42:15

* Fantastic man.. Well balanced and love the composition here.. [reply]SSH @ 2006-07-27 01:52:23

* Well done! Bravo.[reply]Michael @ 2006-07-27 13:43:16

* Well nothing left to say :). I like the desaturation that works extremly well here. [reply]Uwe @ 2006-07-28 06:14:27

* you need to make a poster out of this asap, one amazing photo! [reply]shane j montgomery @ 2006-07-28 16:09:17

* Very grateful to All who have made Comment on ‘Embrace’.
I do have a few more shots taken in similar conditions that morning and may be able to find a third one for posting. They are great fun to work on . . . [reply]AG @ 2006-07-28 23:35:02
