Your photo conveys the feeling of heat quite well!

That golden brown color along with the shadow really does give off the feeling of a very hot day.

Oh, and look at the details on the side of the bench- very pretty ^_^

Another great image Ali

The brightness here reminds me of the scenes in the movie, Pitch Black(I think), where it's so bright because the planet they're on has 3 suns.

Terrific shot!

Great use of extreme contrast here...very 2 dimesional colour range improves the "heat" in this shot. Awesome!

Yeah this image is awesome as those before me have said. The high contrast is used expressively with great results here Ali.
An image with an apocolyptic expression perhaps of a forboding portent is expressed extremely wel with the low level approach that creates an even expressive perspective. Great photography and processing!

Ouch, looks HOT!

Wolf said...

Great job on this one, it looks very hot and so bright!

Marc said...

Very nice. The bench looks inviting to get my feet off the hot pavers. Are those palm trees sweating? Excellent effect.

The intense highlights really stress your scorching heat and sunlight theme. Love it!!

great picture - i love picures of empty benches - I always try to capture them but it never works - this does - great

Laurie said...

The shadow is great! I like this very much.

Nicola said...

Nice, I like the tone in your photo. Looks quite nostalgic.

Bethany said...

I love the perspective on this shot. Excellent work, Ali. Is that the same place that you photographed the "Lost Key"?

Bob said...

Looks like a great place for a fountain. Nice sepia effect.

Nice shadow and light; the overexposure works for me especially since the bench is perfectly exposed. Nice framing. Cheers, Brent
