Ian Pereira, a noted and celebrated industrial photographer, in his first critique on Fotoflock selects an image that he finds is complete in more ways than one.
And sees it as a well timed shot!
I very much like the feel of this image and which is why I choose to comment on it. I like the way the silhouette of the cross, the bird perched on it and that of the coconut tree has been captured here. One can read many things into this image. It is a powerful picture and the clouds cutting the sun in to two halves gives the image a certain symbolic touch. One can easily weave a story into this image.
To me it looks like an image of a church on the beach. The silhouette of the bird on the cross has also been captured well and is a sign that it is also a very well-timed shot, although, I don’t know, if the photographer managed to capture this at once or not. But the timing of this picture is excellent! As I keep looking at the image I realize it grows on you. Any form of technical enhancement or any change is technique of shooting this image can not be suggested. It is a complete image.As I keep looking at the image I realize it grows on you.
Ian Pereira has been awarded the A&M magazine’s ‘Best Photographer of the Year’ award in the year 1993. He still continues to use his old Sinar and Hasselblad cameras with a Leaf digital back. The cameras are a good 24 years old.

the photograph shows the patience on the part of the photographer...sun sets fast...so he halved shooting in time...the inclusion of cross and bird may be second focal point and well placed...the right trees bring back the attention to the main focal point....photographer needs all praise.thanks.
