The Doorway

Sidewinder · May 3, 2008

This shot was actually inspired by the Peter Gabriel song "In Your Eyes".
I was surprised that the crane in the background was moving, but hey, what can you do about it?

"In your eyes / I see the doorway / in you eyes / to a thousand churches".

I really love this song...

I like how none of the highlights in the monument are blown out. And I really like the texture of the ground in the foreground. This must have been very difficult to balance the exposure for the widely disparate tones.

cool shot, id like to see some more detail toward the top of the photo though, looks like some cool shapes up there

Thanks a lot for the positive comments!
Indeed, balancing the exposure was a "thin red line" as they sometimes call it!

Actually, there EXISTS a version with more details towards the top, I will see, if I can still find it, I am not quite sure, where I saved it.
Yet, at the time I decided what the final photograph should look like, I wanted it with no details towards the top, but now that I think about, showing them would probably have been cool!

Thanks for pointing me towards it!
