The wonderful angle of this shot truly gives the feeling that this person could reach up and touch the sky. Lovely black and white and appropriate title.

beautiful shot! I love the framing and perspective here, the lighting and shadows are here are just perfect!
13 Sep 2010 5:49am
This is...... no words.
I just LOVE that. Facing him (his back, since he's fishing it seems ?), in distance, in such a great symetry, the fence like a double road, an inviting take-off strip... Backlight is a splendor as well as the texture in the foreground - i can here you walk on those boards. It cracks beautifully... Another masterSharonpiece here, and a superb way of beginning a week i wish you more than nice*

Excellent capture! Beautiful angle with perspective.
And I hope he did touched the sky! :-)
13 Sep 2010 6:32am
wonderfully titled.. it does seem that way here.. :)
13 Sep 2010 6:32am
Superb angle! I love this silhouette with the head in clouds! Beautiful perspective and B/W!
13 Sep 2010 6:48am
FANTASTIC! The symetry, the tones, the darkness, the light....
13 Sep 2010 7:41am
I love your framing, angle of view and perspective with the silhouette in back light on the beautiful clouds ! a melancholy mood as I love !
13 Sep 2010 9:38am
All he has to do is reach. Very poetic.
13 Sep 2010 10:59am
This one is amazing, love how you've been able to fit all those elements together. A picture you can look at in a different way each time.
13 Sep 2010 11:20am
An outstanding capture Sharon! The angle definitely gives one a sense that he can touch the sky! Bravo and 5-stars!!! ;-)
13 Sep 2010 12:07pm
but there would rest some meters to jump.
There's a ray of light directed to him, that must a be a sign of hope. So it's all in all a hopeful image :-)

13 Sep 2010 2:14pm
The sense of drama here is almost tangible . . powerful stuff in your best tradition !
13 Sep 2010 3:34pm

5 stars indeed...
13 Sep 2010 6:15pm

why didn't he? Time passed?

really like your perspective and converging lines. great sky.
13 Sep 2010 11:03pm
To have seen that scenery with the light and those imposive clouds must have felt like toching the sky for him. Even if he, not even with that fishing-rod, didn´t reach up to the sky, he must have got that feeling, if he really wanted it! Wonderful composition and storytelling, Sharon.

Great composition and b/w image for the thought of E.D. She was right, I think :)
14 Sep 2010 8:15am
I like the contrast throughout the picture, the perspective is good too, good day
14 Sep 2010 10:37am
Lovely B/W treatment and light quality in this and the previous shot.
14 Sep 2010 10:38am
Perfect composition and nice tones. I like the texture of the ground, too.
14 Sep 2010 12:30pm
Waouh ! superbe compo ! Lever le bras et atteindre les étoiles ! 5*

That sun that fall on the solitary figure and the symmetry of the lines in flight that directs towards him… What great photo to us, friend mine
Warm greetings
14 Sep 2010 5:42pm
beautiful composition, Sharon, and fine lines leak!
five stars !!
kiss !
14 Sep 2010 10:17pm
It's like he's the last person left in the world, and he's standing on the edge...
15 Sep 2010 3:13am
I'm sure he can! The perfect POV and such wonderful light.
15 Sep 2010 10:53pm
It's all happening in our minds. Free to dream & build up visions we#re able to touch the sky. And your art makes me feel like touching the sky. Again & again. Thanks for this pearl. A terrific composition. All the best & safe travels, Fritsch.
16 Sep 2010 6:27am
A spectacular perspective enhanced even more by the choice of tonality! A strong message, too...

J'aime beaucoup ! Je te souhaite un bon après midi.

23 Sep 2010 5:51am
Great angles, and what a wonderful sky. It does look like he is going upward.
25 Sep 2010 4:32pm
Great POV and love the cluster of clouds that he's walking towards. Very dramatic shot!
25 Sep 2010 8:58pm
The important is not to reach but to try to.
Good perspective and tonality.
