Reality and Beauty of Cebu

[KE-25]

I've always liked this picture taken with some IPC buddies last year at 4:30ish am in the morning , Mandaue side of the bridge. It clearly shows the harsh reality and beauty of Cebu.

If you have your inspirations along these lines , please post your favorite photo.

this should be titled "portraits of irony"

considering you took a sunset lanscape portrait with one of Cebu's prominent landmark
foregrounded by a silhouette of shanties, debris & other pollutants in the water also symbolizing the province's struggle with poverty.

this is such a superb photographic treatment or post-processing
but I hope u wont mind mu c&c ko sa entire image as how it represented to me

because how you intend to make it more dramatic and yet poverty and all its rubbish is evident
and strong in the image maybe to some poverty will be underminded in the message

or it could send out also the message nga sige lang tah concious sa image nato sa cebuanos bisan nag kalisod.

all in all there's a moral lesson pud sa picture

Portraits of Irony has a nice ring to it , that could have been a good title

As for thoughts , well the nice thing with art or photographs , people can connect , relate , critic it but the fact is, it is there in front of everyone to see capturing the reality of things.

Thanks for sharing, KE-25. I love the detail and the striking concept you put into this.

Not your typical landscape/seascape photo. I hope to be able to share soon once I find the time.

iSTORYA.NET needs more photographers like you.

Keep 'em coming.

well..we couldn't always be negative of their future. but judging on the current economic, social-political situation in our country, I couldn't help but feel wary of their future

Beauty of Cebu ...
Advertized in Asia as an island in the Pacific with City of Cebu as capital.

Reality ...
Its an island with City of Shabu where perhaps 40% of male tourists go as reported by the American ambassador ...

Isn't that something ..
