Hi Manuel,

Cheers, very good one !

wow.. brilliant photo. Maybe the silohettes of people are too dark though.

Great use of the sky to give this a real supernatural appearance. The people on the walkway are part of the sky, because of the angle looking up, and the feeling of humanity in the heavens is strong. Excellent work!

Hello, Manuel--
Nice work here, the simplistic composition makes use of the great light well. i like how you framed the foreground silhouettes with two sets of people carrying things between poles--it gives good closure to the scene.
Thanks!

Great shot! These silhouetes coming from the left to the right corner reminds me the ants carrying food on the stock... You have captured also fantastic light here. It was worth wait long time for Your next works.

Hey Manuel!
Not the usual one - more scene, nature, sky...but you are a people man, and you composed this piece quite well! I like very much the excellent exposure here that combines the shilouette of the people with the highlight of the clouds formation...
Well done!

Hi Manny
Very unusual coposition and colours. We are used to see a red sky and more bridge and less sky. You composition is very smart and original, almost purple sky and a lot of it, and less bridge.
I like it.

Very interesting compsotion with the bridge at the very bottom giving so much space for this fantastic sky. Very well done.

Hi Manny,

Good to see a post from you after a while. Your pics are surely missed here. I like the idea of this shot. Good pov and well framed with the long line of silhouettes at the bottom and against the vast expansive sky filled with dramatic clouds. The colors and light are nice too but at the same time it all does look a bit unnatural. And the jpeg artefacts are something that one doesnt get to see in your other high quality posts.

Cheers!

this is amazing photo. I'm planning 6-month trip around Asia and I was thinking about skipping Myanmar but after seeing lots of amazing photos from that country I decided that there is no way I miss it!

Well done!!!
