It's an amazing photo Peter, but you already know that. Your pov (point-of-view) is really great since it completely changed all the scales here. At f/4 I was expecting to see the background a bit out of focus, but these little Canons really don't work like regular SLRs. The three subjects look like they are on the same plan, but we know they are not. Mainly because of that grass in the foreground that act as a curtain here. We clearly see the guy is on the front and the lighthouse on the back. That's crucial here. Love the directions pole. It really looks 3D. I like the pp :), it really created a mystic mood around this even if it boosted the dullness of this gray day. Be very welcome to TE! Hope to see more from your frequently...

Hola Peter:
Es una foto muy sugerente, con una composición muy buena con los tres elemntos principales. El procesado de la foto, en mi opnión le ha quitado un poco de naturalidad, pero en conjunto la foto me gusta.
Un saludo: Javi

Hi Peter and welcome to TE.

Your first photo is amazing.
Well, of course, your first post I mean. I only could say you: continue and enjoy TE.

Carlos.

Where to? Of course, TE was the best destination for this great shot. That big pole with all those beautiful places on it (and Lisbon is very clearly mentioned) is there just to tell us that our world is waiting for us. So, let the voyage start heading, for example, to the first destination on bottom and make your way up!
About the help you got, nothing to say. Luis is a MASTER.

Excellent first post, Peter! Very good balance of the three elements, located at different distances from the camera but brought together by your composition. Also a lot of meaning here, and all three elements, again, contribute to it. The feeling of freedom, brought by this "giant" pole, is overwhelming. My compliments as well for Luis for this PP, the shot was worth it!

Cheers
Alexander

Hola Peter,
Esta e una foto mui interessante! Me gusta mucho!

I liked the analogy of hundred signs and the figure on the right...Muted colours worked really well...
Well done!

Hi Peter.
Une très belle image.
Je trouve ce pov très intéressant, cette contre plongé donne de l'effet.
Bel équilibre et le regard de cet homme devant cette multitude de panneaux, c'est vraiment sympa.
Le ciel gris crée une ambiance différente.
Bien fait
Fred

Peter, I know this is your numero uno but I missed this as you joined te the day before me. Great shot and congrats to your friend Luis Alfonso for the pp. A really brilliant pov. Well done Peter, like it a lot.
br,
Mark

Olá Peter, tive curiosidade e fui cuscar as tuas 1ªs publicações e dou de caras com este belo início. Já muito foi dito sobre esta imagem e tens aqui excelentes críticas. Adoro o equilíbrio da pessoa com a torre e o pov é fantástico. O tema e o título têem piada, tendo em conta que esta era a 1ª foto no TE ;-) Uma grande foto!
Um abraço,
Ricardo

Peter,
This is a fascinating photograph. I am a cartographic technician (cartographer) by trade so I would appreciate this more than most. It also has an element of humor in it. Good job!

Hi Peter,
You have three erections standing almost completely equal to each other. The sign post of course dominating and it has to be. Huge thing it is, sending a message that this world is much bigger than any structure or human.
Thanks to Luis' PP it's amazing. Now it's a favorite..

-Brian
