EVENING BLUE..

"Am tired today,sun was hot
I tried to call you all day
But silence was the reply
Where are you, evening blue..
I dream you near the spire
Waiting with a rose for me
Your smile, the bells ,chant
Wonders that guide my heart..
Oh eventide dreams, stroll past
Thy moods change ,vivid hues
Moonlight dresses my dreams silver
I wake to kiss the night, dear
Fragrances faint in lips, thin
From the blind to fearless lights
I journey my life, to destiny blue !!"

Hi Jean Paul
The perspective you get here is perfect. The contrast with the blue sky is amazing
Well done
Bertrand

A melancholic mood here ,dear Jean???Your palm trees together with the blue makes me dream
I like this image for the silent feeling and the flying bird is a good bonus,isn't it?
Must read something written by that german writer,..I wonder if I will like him as I like the Indian Jean Paul :)
All the best
Isa

Hi, my friend!
And next very interesting photo. I like your conception. Good colours and light. Very oryginal view. I like your atmosphere.
Well done.

Hi Jean Paul,
Perfect work of this cross-light and its dark silhouettes on the blue sky and the clouds.
It is an image with a great sensation of peace, very well made, and with the bird flying that adds dynamism to the composition.
A nice shot.
Best regards,
Josep

Hi Jean Paul,
As always, this poem is very beautiful and significant. Fantastic colours, my friend and marvelous clouds.

Hello Jean

Where I am?...I`m home...in front of the computer and writing a comment on your shot...:D...:-)))...I`m just joking around...hope you don`t mind..

I have made few days ago a shot like yours...having in one corner 2 trees and lot of space to the blue sky...I like my shot...so I like yours too.Perhaps I`ll show it to you one day...or sooner.
Always a pleasure to read your notes...your dreamy notes...

My best wishes,
Lucian

Hi Japiey!
Amazing trees. Wonderful light and shadow. Good capture. Marvelous effect.
Cheers!

Hello J.P.

I think the border really draws this shot together as it links so nicely with the silhouettes.

The colour of the sky, with its whispy clouds is just perfect!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Very evocative with the bird in this fantastic sky. I love the atmosphere the tree silhouettes in front of this very unusual blue sky. Great work.

That held me in absolutel awe. The colours and the way interacti with the silhouettes. The angled perspective and the suprb pov. The composition is delightful.

Hi Jean Paul,
Another inspired twilight view, very suitable to accompany another beautiful poem. The detail of the flying bird makes it more special. It's not really important in an image that 'works' more in the 'emotional' than what's usual, but there are some technical details that could be better, namely the noise on the sky and those dark spots on the corners (filter?).
Regards, José.

This is one of my favourite from your recent exhibition. I respect you because you find something novel everyday around you. That is the basic of life.
Perfect Jean.
Peter.

Hello JP
You live in the god blessed part of our country, where God has liberally sprinkled beauty all around & it takes an artist like you to bring the beauty out to share with us. A blue sky, cumulous clouds, silhouettes of coconut palms, fairly common themes, but ONLY you can gel these elements so effectively to create a beauty...& that's because you're an artist my friend!
Best Regards
Angshuman

My amazing friend Jean Paul! You are not only a good photographer, but also good at languages! Your latest critique was such a big surprise! Who is teaching you Turkish?
In this shot I lile the way you place the silhouettes diagonally, leaving much space for the sky. he little bird is you bonus. Very romantic and well-handled.
Take care. Best wishes.
