Ciao a tutti ! Well.... I decide to come and play with you for this Challenge ! It's so difficult for me to make a choice ;o((((((( but maybe this shot is a good subject for an extrem Pov. You'll tell me what do you think about. This is one of a series I've made 3 weeks ago in Belgium, when I was with Michel (GiMi53) in Bruxels. It was the first time I saw the "Atomium", a really impressive structure ! Unfortunatly it was closed because they are working on it and changing all the pieces of these incredibles giant bubbles ;o))). This shot is all natural ! no postwork, no crop, nothing, just framed with photoshop. But I like the reflections on the globe with this person working on it, and also... the contrast with the moon on the left. 2 moons on one shot ! This is the photography :

and this is the thumb....

WHOA!! That is seriously Extreme...So is that guys job, I wanna do what he does! Great Entry!

Lol ! thanks Rod ! I think as you that it must be a very particular job and with real sensations ;o))))) Something like flying free in the air ! The problem is if you let down something ;o))) you loose so much time to take it going down and up !

That is extreme! A wonderful entry :)

Superb Entry !

And every one said, 'If we only live,
We too will go to sea in a Sieve,---
To the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to sea in a Sieve.

Hey, you grabbed the moon in the shot too! Love your view of extreme POV...I was thinking of a shot of the sunsphere here in town looking straight up at it.

Ciao David ! come on, and come with us in this challenge with your shot ! I've just discover your new gallery.... great ! Welcome on Renderosity, our big village of friends ;o)))) I would like to see your sunsphere here !

HNathalie we are still posting our Villers series and here you are already with the Atomium !!! LOL ! (I did not even found the time to browse through my own picture of that day...) :-) For sure, this is a fantastic entry for the challenge ! It's funny : the day a French lady (you !) is uploading an image of Brussels'Atomium, her Belgian friend (myself !) is posting an image of Paris'Eifel tower !!! (see my dedi for Kimmers...) :~)

Now this is what I call a totally wicked shot Nathalie!!! Ur best so far IMHO!!! I just love it!!! The compo is spot on, the colors are awesome, it's clear and sharp and the subject is wicked!!! yep!! Fantastic photography!!

Thank you Pascale !!! I've made a small serie of the Atomnium, something is not bad because there's something "special" on the shot and the POV, I've got others to show you, maybe on my RR gallery. But I am a little in anger too. I wanted to make a selection of my best photographs of the Atomium to propose them to 2 reviews of photography : "Chasseur d'images" and "Fotofan". And when I received while returning from Belgium, the last number of "Fotofan".... there is somebody (a Belgian of course) who preceded me and with fact of publishing its photographs... even style that mine... small details in less ! Grrrrrrrrrr ! ;o)))) That doesn't matter, I'll made others selections and small reports to send them when I find the time to do that ! I want to try to be published in these reviews. Only to try... because they receive thousand of good photographies each month... Ciao Pascale, hugs.

Ooooh! Well, good luck with that Nathalie!!! It just wasn't ur time yet! ;) Everything comes to those who wait....! ;)

This really is a phenominal capture. Getting the long focal length lens up there and zooming in on that guy hanging, with the moon over his shoulder is just too cool. What a wonderful shot. Just had to gush over this one a bit.

The inclusion of the moon added to the WOW factor. For me, this is the best so far.

Thank you Dave for your comment.... I'm very proud of this shot, for the moon of course who really add a magic dimension ! Hugssssssss
