EXPECTANCY..

"Where do you come from?
A place nowhere, everywhere..
Where do you head to?
A place somewhere, everywhere..
Vision fades,waves springle..
Heat takes off my colours..
Long awaited years stroll
Why do I stare at the waves?
It's young always, fierce, calm..
It's heart never fades black..
It smiles, it hears, it sings
A symphony of life every moment..
Where it leads, a fantasy !! "

Hi Jean Paul,
I like the textures in this shot, the sand, the water and the waves crashing. The man entereing the frame is great and he has a nice amount of space to move into. Panoramic format is nice here too. Simple yet effective.

The man care for a nice image, of a simple picture without colour make you a nice attractive picture.
Water lines and the foam of the sea gives a nice composition.
Thanks for sharing.

Ciao Jean Paul ,

nice notes too
Giorgio

Hello Jean Paul,

Interesting how a simple image can have such an impact. The black and white rendering of the image gives it a lot of appeal. The man is well placed within the frame and add a strong focal point. Nice panoramic view with the water softly touching the beach. Thanks :-)

Roberto

Hello Jean Paul,
Your usual outstanding composition and beautiful horizontal layers of beach and waves! This is excellent work!
Stan

Hi Jean,
I like the way you captured the man as he was just entering the frame ... nice POV. The waves added dynamics to the compo. Good tones and contrast. Very poetic note to compliment the photo. Well captured and presented. Well done! tfs
Cheers,
Renier

"Why do I stare at the waves?" - I don't know but this is so true! Forces of nature can be hypnotic...Olá Jean Paul, superb panoramic black and white from the beach, with a perfect placement of that poetic soul in search for answers. Love the details of his silhouette and the traces of the water in the wet sand.
Warm regards,
ricardo

Hello J Paul
Your note is excellent and fits well the B&W scene, with the man walking along the beach, in a nice choice of pano format. Light is pleasant too, and thanks to remind us, the beautiful words of V.Hugo.
Cheers
Marilyn
