SOMETHING UNSAID..

"Wind whispers in angels ears
Carols of love played at night
Border lines to cross again
Winner has the smile in heart..
Bitter and sweet remains life
Memories travel ages , real
Back to the space together
Missing days count in them..
Unheard voices remains still
Old is not a defeat, dear
Hold me gentle, journey in me
Butterflies still smiling in you..
To the garden of music once again
Dreams the heart,play the concert !!"

SHOT AT COIMBATORE, TAMILNADU.
To the chosen destination...

"Age does not protect you from love, but love to some extent protects you from age."
~ Jeanne Moreau
(born January 23, 1928) is a French actress, screenwriter and director.One of the most recognizable faces of the French cinema, and also one of its most celebrated, Jeanne Moreau is a legend in her own right. Combining off-kilter beauty with strong character, Moreau came to embody forthright, devil-may-care sensuality in such films as Jules and Jim and The Bride Wore Black. Comparing her to some of her best-known colleagues, Ginette Vincendeau noted, "Where Brigitte Bardot was sex and Catherine Deneuve elegance, Moreau incarnated intellectual femininity."

Hello,

I like the overall atmosphere of this shot with the deep cloudy sky but in opposition with the natural simplicity of this couple driving a motocycle.
Yes, there is something on this shot.

Travel far behind the fog. This is life. You showed it in impressive way. Thanks for sharing.
Regards my dear friend.

Hello My Friend,

I like your quote. It holds a lot of meaning!
How nicely it links to your photograph!

I like your composition which cuts a small diagonal with the road. This is man's work. Beyond it is the natural world. The lovely couple, focussing ahead, link the two!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)
Many thanks for your comments on 'Look at Lothersdale'.

A reasonable but not great composition made really powerful by the dramatic sky that you've captured perfectly here. I would have given it two points but for me you've spoiled it slightly by some wanto oversharpening. Look at those ugly white lines separating the hills from the sky. Shame, but

TFS

Hi JEAN PAUL

A good result, for what looks like very tricky lighting. Excellent sharpness on the moving motorcyle & superb shadow detail. Tfs!

The note is touching , the image is beautiful!
A beautiful scenery!
Yes, the gray hairs there also deserve my great respects! TFS, JP.
Have you a pleasant Sunday, my Indian TE friend!

Hi,Poet,
A nice scene with dynamic and fondness. Accompanied by your poem,it makes a whole woven picture of blended man and nature

Valerka:)

Excellent mixture of intense green fields and hills and silver clouds. Impressive exotic nature. The human presence is a welcome element of contrast.

Hi Jean Paul,

Wonderful picture of those people going together, especially with your note. It creates a nice atmosphere, specially for an old woman like me. I love Indian women, they are so elegant in every situation, rich or very poor. Beautiful Tamilnadu landscape. I think i was somewhere here going to Nilgiri Hills

Hello buddy JP!
Many thanks once again for this lovely image of togetherness that goes along with the true nature that surround us daily! must be a heavy rain coming soon from the look of the sky!
good image and of course the poem!
best regards to you and family from NZ
friend Tony

Hello my friend:

A beautiful sequence of real life with these two characters in the motorcycle, I think that walking and enjoying the scenery, it seems to me that with the clothes they wear so neat is not directed at his work, if not what they have left for home momengto give relaxation in their lives.

Well done and well-regarded.

We wish him well

Hello Jean Paul,

Perfect moment while splendid nature helping for great background to your frame. I like their pose full in natural movement a lot and of course the green & cloudy sky. Excellent ambiance you captured. Congratulations.

Best Regards,

Ertugrul

Hi Jean,
Lovely moody setting with the dark clouds in the background. Quite a appropriate setting for this loving couple. Good color saturation on the surrounding greenery and good image sharpness. Well done! tfs
Cheers,
Renier

Olá Jean Paul, good title that gives a special meaning to the image, along with the beautiful note. Love the sense of freedom that your posts trasmite and here I feel the wind on the face of this old couple, ridding together for eternity while the weather keeps changing the green landscape. Excellent decisive moment.
Ricardo

Hi Jean,
Tones of the green with some foggy mountains look great! The couple and their place in the composition is nice too.. i really like it..
Best wishes,
ReLa

Hi dear JP!
they come out of the mist ... because they are together and not alone? Maybe.
Ciao!!

Livia

Hi Jean
Amazing colours and tones in this very nice composition. Nice couple in the bike. Excellent quality
Greetings
Aires

Hi Jean Paul,
A great capture of this dynamic and nice scene, I like the attitude of this couple who circulates along the road with his motorcycle, in the middle of a magnificent landscape and with a threatening sky with the dark clouds.
Probably they have hurry to flee of the next storm.
Nice shot.
Best regards,
Josep

Hi Jean,
Interesting daily life photo, they ride motocycle without helmet, beautiful background twin mountains, good pov to show it, nice cool color, distinct image, well done.

Giorgio

Hello JP,
The special light is attractive, shining through the carpet of clouds!
A fine landscape, where I guess the man and woman on the motorbike is a typical element...
A well composed presentation, sharp fine details!
Greetings,

Hi Jean Paul,
Un grand et beau moment bien capturer avec le ciel dramatique et la prise du couple sur la moto, netteté et lumiére excellente, compliment
Best regards

Hello Jean Paul,

This is a lovely, endearing shot, well composed and well exposed. It was wise to shoot the image with the motorcycle approaching rather than directly from the side. There is a very nice diagonal created by the road; the low hanging clouds create a strong backdrop.

Warm regards,

Bulent

Hi Jean,
Lovely image it is with an excellent note.The aged couple is a symbol of undying love.The backdrop is superb with nice greenery and dark clouds.The mood is too romantic.

Hi Jean!
What a sky you have here, seems a storm is really coming. The atmosphere is great, I like the way you placed the moto with the persons. Colours are very good also!

Hello JP
The monsoon atmosphere is well conveyed and the capture of the couple driving a TVS is adding kind of dynamism to the scene.
Thanks for the citation...
Cheers
Marilyn

hello JP,

Hi Jean,
Romanticism at its best!!!! Wondrous atmosphere to get a gimpse of this wondrous couple.

Hi Jean Paul,
An excellent poem and photo to create a beautiful ode to people who are not the young "Spring Chickens" that they once were but still have a lot of life left in them. My grandmother always told me that it is better to wear out than to rust out (her paraphrase of Teddy Roosevelt's philosophy). Boy, was she right about that! The completely sedentary life is a curse! Great shot and great poem!
Stan

Hello JP. The dark sky is the key to good image here. Good focus on the subject in stunning mountain backdrop. Regards. Jusni

Dear JP, your sky and the colours are fantastic, I like the idea too, thanks for this great photo !
Best regards from Turkey,
Cath.

Hi Jean,

Nice decor for this couple. The rain was about to fall, I hope they had time to arrive home before it. Well composed and nice light management.

Regards,

Flavia

Warm greetings, Jean Paul,
this is such a lovely and touching shot. The elderly couple is perfectly placed in your composition and the scenery beyond them is magnificent! I particularly like the contrast in their bright clothing and the heavy greens of the foliage. I hope they are well happy together riding along with all that beauty surrounding them. Lovely note as always, Jean Paul. You have such a poetic soul. Kindest wishes and have a fine weekend,
Shelly

H iJean,
A nice scene of rural India, you managed to get it luminous enough despite adverse weather conditions.
Have a nice day JY

I love your title: I think it goes perfectly with this shot. The couple and their motorcycle look so small and insignificant compared to the mountains and clouds that surround them. But they'll make it through because they've got each other.
