Nominated for The Pinnacle Blog by Anderson Fang

Upon see this image I can't help imaging I was one of the three people. Those grains look like drifting sands in the air, and I can vividly feel the pain while the harsh wind hits my face. Ouch!

The composition is unorthodox and extreme, and that's how the ambiance is revealed. By marginalizing the ground (the only border here) and eliminating colors, the atmosphere plays the leading role. Saúl amazingly catches the "air" so well. Although the elements are few, none of them can be expelled. Without those thin clouds (?) the sky will be dull, and without the silhouettes the image becomes lifeless. It might look simple, but to make it is totally a different story.

Into The Vortex

Into The Vortex by rossefotographie.com

Nominated by mksfoto

"Have you looked at a photo and wondered how it was done. And when it is explained to you, you go "I could have done that". Sure you could, but you didn't. It takes sheer genius to use simple everyday things and put it to such a creative use that it stretches the imagination."
