Indiana Jones, a photo from Beer Sheva, Southern

Photographer's Note

Another shot from the Negev desert. This is the wire bridge which you proobably remember.
I got this photo ready for posting almost 2 month now, but something didn't let me to post it and I couldn't say why.
But yesterday night I understood- the background is too flat. And then I knew what I have to do: I desaturated the BG and aded noise. I think that it's much better now.

What delight Yitzhak! It seems this is becoming a very "noisy" place of late, with so many participants applying noise and grain to images. This is a very distinctive treatment. All you did with the image is a success in my eyes. I note that you've been quite creative in your frames as well. It is always a pleasure to view creative/playful images such as this. I might have opted for a lighter application of noise, but such matters are surely a matter of personal preference. Well done.

The grain of this photograph is of a great quality and gives life to the matter. The photograph gains in thickness, lles colors become deep. Noise on the service of art. great art work.

Very good composition. I love Indiana Jones of Israel ! :)
Congratulations

Very creative. The grain and the desaturated background make the blue colour of his shirt come out in a striking way.

Composition créative issue d'une très bonne idée de votre part, ce qui prouve qu'avec une banale photo il est possible de faire travailler son esprit créatif.

Excellent post work and an overall very good impression from this photo Yitzak.

Really outstanding post-work here, Yitzhak, and as you can guess I appreciate that the remaining colors are pretty much just hues of blue. Interesting compo with the guy between the steel ropes. Very good this one.

I don't know about this one Yitzhak. The mixing of desaturation and noise, AND saturation and sharpness, doesn't quite work for me here.

This might be better in TL where this sort of heavy PP is more common?

Excellent work and an overall very good impression from this photo, Yitzak. Splendid photograph.

Interesting & aesthetic use of desaturation & noise.

Great picture Yitzhak. Maybe a bit to much noise for my taste though but the desaturation works really good. And i like the overall blue tone in the photo.

Excellent !! j'aime beaucoup votre photo, elle est très forte, la composition est très bien maîtrisée.
Mais j'ai deux reproches à formuler :
1) (IMHO) je touve qu'il y a un peut trop de bruit, un grain plus fin aurait tout aussi bien fonctionné, mais votre idée est géniale
2) ce n'est pas le vrai Indiana jones :-)

Harrisn Ford for sure , from the back, Nice title, Yitzhak.

Another excellent desaturation must! I like the noise, it comes out very well here. Excellent POV, excellent title too. i don't know the original, but this one is just perfect that way.
