Parallax
How did I get here?
Posted by Alfredo J. Martiz J. (Panama City, Panama) on 8 July 2007 in Transportation and Portfolio.
Where am I?, What is this place?, Why do I feel wet?
I can see the bridge, wasn’t I up there before?
I can see Sakura Petals falling...
Photo by Alfredo Martiz F., my father and friend, who introduced us (my brother and me) to the world of photography.

Excellent picture, the bike seems like coming out from a dream... the rays of light displayed on the water makes a really cool effect (makes me want to name the picture: "a summer dream"). The rusty bike also gives the pic a sense of immortality, and the little petals floating in the water gives it a "magical-romantic" turn. Just great!

Imarchi from Madrid, Spain
parece que la bici esta flotando en la niebla, más que en agua. muy bien visto. el detalle (aunque se vea en pequeña) es genial. esta foto tenía el riesgo de que quedase apagada, aburrida, en un fondo gris, pero ha quedado genial, la suciedad del agua llena toda la foto. Saludos.
