Great shot Riba. Moody one. I like a sepia tone here. Great, dramatic sky. Well composed picture.
Very well done!!

I like this a lot. Very apocalyptic, dreamy mood and the sky is awesome. Nice!

waouw..., Je la verrait bien dans un film d'horreur celle là.
Le genre, Une personne qui repense à quelque chose, une image flash terrifiante qui lui passe par la tête en un éclair...
Le ciel est incroyable aussi, tu l'a bien travailler,félicitation

Nicely done Riba! It almost looks like your photo has been painted on canvas... The Sepia tone works very well for this pic. Although I'd love to see the shot in it's original state.

The house looks a bit scary... :D Wonderful image!

joannar (308) 2004-03-29 5:16

Another excellent moody shot! The use of sepia is excellent here, adding an eery look to your picture. Thanks for showing us Croatia that is so different from that known from tourist brochures!

Again, I like the colors here very much. Riba, you are an artist. Powerful effect. I like this a lot. GREAT shot!

claudiaf (4438) 2004-03-29 11:02

Wonderful shot. Good composition and the color is great.

BHo (2177) 2004-03-29 11:35

A dramatic photo with lots of artistic value placed into post processing. The tonal seperation and details are superb.

RGatward (20108) 2004-04-03 2:43

A very powerful shot. This to me sums up the sad story of the '90s conflict in the former YR. I know TE tries to be apolitical, but then in a place where recent history has been as it has, I should think if you ignore the politics, you ignore the culture. I caught this becuase of the feaured location.
