Well Steve – what is there to guess??? Isn’t it obvious that you were just fluttering around up there hanging on to your camera for dear life in the wind ;) And a lovely image you managed to capture too! Congratulations :)))
Steve Sharp replied

Thankyou DragonFlyer, well I know that taking photos makes my spirit soar, so I guess that you’re partly right!
Mark Ross

Great perspective Steve. I’ve got it! The shot’s gritty so you must be atop a coal shoot or chimney of some sort. Hehe.
Steve Sharp replied

Thanks Mark. Close, and I should perhaps add that no pharmaceuticals were used in the making of this one ;-)
George Swann

Very unusual for you Steve, an image with people in it….really unusual perpective….but that adds to the impact, and your strong colours make this a really good photograph!!
Steve Sharp replied

Thanks again George – I know… strange isn’t it? I don’t dislike people, honest, but I just have a bit of a thing about photographing them! I’d like to overcome that irrational stumbling block actually.
Matt Roberts

Cool.
Ursula Rodgers

Gorgeous work Steve and love the perspective! I won’t even begin to guess how you got up there! (not much fun me! :D)
Steve Sharp replied

Thanks Ursula, lets call it a natural high ;-)
Simone Riley

like the gritty and the green tones – were you on top of a very tall lighthouse?
Steve Sharp replied

Thanks Simone (sorry for wait in reply), not a lighthouse, but a tall viewing platform high about the lake (this is Lake Constance/Konstanz, on the border with Switzerland)
J. Scott Coile

I believe they are shooting back at you. I imagine someone shouting trying to get your attention.
mariarty

Wow, fantastic work, colour, texture, grittiness, perspective all perfect, oh and I love the square format too. Really unusual shot.
Jennifer Woodward

Very edgey and stylish work, Steve… love the texture and tone, and the people really set the image off – perfect for a CD cover! :-)
JimFilmer

a great perspective…has good impact.. an excellent image Steve
Steve Sharp replied

Cheers Jim, was hoping for impact with the composition, happy to hear I achieved it!
Milos Markovic

Indeed you can, Steve !
Very impressive piece of artwork, somehow much different that the others you have so it complements your portfolio significantly !
David Robinson

Fabulous work Steve – the square format works really well with this image and the green and textures are amazing!
Steve Sharp replied

Cheers David, perhaps I’m warming to the idea of ‘its cool to be square’ now!
Mel Brackstone

This is great and the square format is perfect for it. Your treatment/textures are fab.

berndt2

excellent shot – the colours and perspective are really great in this

Thankyou, the perspective was certainly unusual, even mundane things look good from a height.
