Very cool. (The story and the pic) I like the tone of this image...especially since it was taken in bright sunlight. nice job.

As usual interesting tone. I think I'd have shifted the frame a little to the right to capture their shadows. I can't wait to see the special - I hope I can get it here in Texas.

Great depth and lack of hue. Puts kind of a post-modern-post-apocalype feel to it, with lack of better words to describe. I especially like the long shadows.

Returning to the two previous photos. I've no problem the content ... but the task of ' 'guess the image'' seems rather unecessary. Discusssion on composition etc etc is far more valuable. OK ... I do realise that someone will say ''it's only a bit of fun''.

Yes I am smiling.

I like it, it's a little plain and doesn't evoke that much thought from me but a nice photo all the same.

Love the dull/muted tones.

great shot. had to sneak the seagull in there, eh?

i like the processing on this..how did you go about this one?

I agree with people here - really nice shot but what an interesting tone. Any chace of telling us how it was done please ?

Good composition! Too bad that it will not be possible to see the interview here in Portugal! Wait... maybe it will be possible after all. Thank God for the internet.

The tone and those clouds: very 'Jack Vettriano'

nice tones but I almost find the bird a distraction. You'll have to stream the interview on your website so we can all see it :)

I love the light in this shot, quite harsh but the edge has been taken off somewhat with the toning, my favourite that you've done for a while this.

As you know (from the title), the light in this shot is awesome. The sunglasses and the woman's expression really top it off for me. She's staring into the the light, and he's capturing whatever is happening. It's almost as though they are about to be engulfed by a wave of light. I love that something is left to the imagination, I can make this my own even if they are just filming the sun.

I like it, but would have liked to see them shifted to the left side of a wider frame with longer shadows. Nice though. And having just moved from the UK to Texas... I will probably miss the show. Pity.

the seagull... your trademark?

I love the muted tones to this image... like it was a blue duotone was overlayed on top.

Great shot Dave, great indeed

cool colors and tones, looks kinda crisp (in some parts ;))

What a wonderful photo. The lighting is beautiful...

I'm with Nick and MP, I would check that fixation with seagulls, uh? That can't be healthy ;)

Amazing colours, as always.

Beautiful lightning and you didn't miss the detail of the bird on the left... Wonderful shot !

Please do tell us how you went about that tone, I have seen it used quite a few times in daily dose of imagery (2 of your fans in Reading await your answer!)

how did you manage to get such tones? what "PS moves" did you make? : )

Thanks everyone.

As for how it was done: I used the Channel Mixer to desaturate the image then set the opacity to around 80%. After that I toned the image using a Curve, then boosted the saturation with the Hue/Saturation tool.

I agree with everybody about the tone. It just makes it. I'm in disagreeance about the composition though. I really love it. I love that the shot doesnt' focus on the shadows because its about the light. And I love that they are placed to the right of the shot because it sets the stage for the subject and the movement. My favorite part of the shot is how it looks like they are standing at the edge of the world. I see nothing but clouds in the background. That along with the tone and lighting really set this shot apart, and give it that apocalyptic feel that someone previously mentioned. Really great post-processing. Love the shot.

just caught up with your photoblog from the last week. this shot really does it for me.

I like the bird.
