Top View, a photo from Bohol, Central Visayas

Photographer's Note

I took this shot while on a hanging bridge(see its shadow on the top portion). It required some great courage and luck to take this picture. I was holding my camera with one hand while my other hand was holding on to the bridge :D The raft was made of bamboos tied up together.

Very nice picture! I have the impression that the guy on the raft is sailing on a panpipe and that the water is singing a quite song! congratulations

For a one handed picture hanging off a bridge this has just got to be tops - really nice composition - great colours and a wonderful subject. I like the bridge shadow too - just a really fantastic image.

best wishes

Very nice compo. I like that it's not centered and perfect use of the lines on the little boat with the shadowns... really, bravo!!

Nols (69) 2005-06-18 2:42

Well, you know what they say - those who dares wins! Great shot here Rye.

Hanssie (11022) 2005-06-18 5:19

Superb !
Fantastic composed, minimal details, as said: superb, Rye !

The_Rock (230) 2005-06-19 5:35

This is great ! I like your composition. Though I want to see the picture with more space at the bottom. The fall of the shadows on the water and the boat made a good impression.

lucinka (9976) 2005-06-19 8:44

Rye, what a beautiful piece. I can fully understand, why it got so much attention. It was definately worth hanging on that bridge. Beautiful and strong compostion!! L.

So simple and uncluttered but so effective, Rye. Your 'luck' resulted in a perfect composition. Your 'courage' was rewarded with something to be proud of. Cheers . . . david

Minimalistic...
Pleasing...
Most unusual shot from Loboc river but still the one I will remember!

Hi Rye,
this is really top of the top view :)
It was definitely worthy to take this one-hand risk, the light is so good, composition as well, all it is like from a dream :)
Great, so pure! I love it

rdiaz80 (319) 2007-05-02 20:57

Great effort in taking this shot! I like this photo! Clean and nice lighting. Compo wise everything falls into place creating a balance. The shadows helped in making an unplain photo. Hope to see more!

Hi again, Cary. I just saw this shot on your main page. Excellent POV. This composition is absolutely stunning. I love how there is nothing to distract us from the man on the bamboo raft. Brilliant shot, Yvonne
