May 2025 - The Impact of Man
Original
About the Image(s)
One morning in Acadia Maine, I captured this image of a man’s shadow against the rock face. My initial intent was simply playing with the available light, but after pondering the actual image, the contrast of the ancient rock face vs. the fleeting appearance of man made me think of our impact on the environment. Nikon D810, 50mm,1/30 sec, F9 and ISO 64. Comments Please.

I like this image as posted, part of it is due to the rock structure which I enjoy studying even though i am retired. The scale of the man aginst the rock wall, plus with no sky in the image implying the wall goes even higher adds to the effect. using the shadow of the man creates the idea that the person can be anyone of us. I have no suggestions to improve the image , and like the BW better. The only suggestion I have is change the title to - The intrusion of man - as at this point in time there is no impact either positive or negative. Well done
