Lunch Atop a Skyscraper - Widescreen

A widescreen retake of this shot ... www.flickr.com/photos/balakov/1614997917/

The aspect ratio should be more suitable for dual monitor desktop backgrounds.

I also added the rope that was missing from my original version. It was annoying me that I didn't put it in :)

@david in den bosch : It doesn't look as good with a smaller aperture, I tried it :) You can see the creases in the bedsheet 'sky' and the buildings are too well defined.

Will this one be available for purchase as a print? I like it more than the other version.

Great!
Posted 18 months ago. ( permalink )

Balakov says:

@Resyiki: The wide aspect ratio means I can't use either RedBubble or Imagekind to print this version, it would get cropped. It makes me sad. I want this on canvas for myself!

You can tell this photo is completely fake! All their feet are at the same level. That beam was on the ground when the photo was taken and then their images were cut out and placed over the background scene. And isn't it a little weird that they all wear the same kind of boxy shoes?!?
