Photographer’s Note

Nick Cave - The Ship Song

Come sail your ships around me
And burn your bridges down
We make a little history, baby
Every time you come around
Come loose your dogs upon me
And let your hair hang down
You are a little mystery to me
Every time you come around
We talk about it all night long
We define our moral ground
But when I crawl into your arms
Everything comes tumbling down
Come sail your ships around me
And burn your bridges down
We make a little history, baby
Every time you come around
Your face has fallen sad now
For you know the time is nigh
When i must remove your wings
And you, you must try to fly
Come sail your ships around me
And burn your bridges down
We make a little history, baby
Every time you come around
Come loose your dogs upon me
And let your hair hang down
You are a little mystery to me
Every time you come around

ciao paolo, exciting subject, nice idea, i'd just compose this pic less centrally; otherwise very very nice photo;
have a nice day, jerzy

A simple composition, but with good coours and light. Maybe a bit lack of sharpness and some white spots but I can understand by the scan, I have the same problem in the photos I take with my manual camera

Bella composizione. Trasmette un senso di rilassatezza e di tranquillità. Bei colori. Lo scanning è costato all'immagine un po' di nitidezza e ha creato degli strani effetti di colore nello sfondo. Cmq un bello scatto.

Ciao Paolo,
Good view as for its exposure (not easy here to master the flashing sand) and colors, you could correct the remaining scan dots with a correction tool in retouching software, I use this always (together with clone) for scanned photos it is very effective. I agree with Jerzy about the compo tip, but I notice the date, at this time too I did not know TE and was shooting centered compos ;-)
Have a nice day,
Jean-Yves

Hi Paolo.
For a scanning, that's good result.
I like the simplicty of the compo and the light on the sand.
Intersting framing of this boat without any object.
Nice colors too.

Hi Paolo,
simple and nice compo, I like the impression that the beach is deserted... like a robinson...
Beautiful colors, too !

Hi Paolo,
J'aime ces belles couleurs des Maldives (j'ai vécu plusieurs années dans l'Océan Indien) - j'aime cette simplicité et la paix qui se dégage de cette photo -
Merci et bon week end
Gaby

Beautiful in its simplicity Paolo. You got the colors nicely. Its a neat idea and a well thought through division of the space.

Hello Paolo,
Un petit peu en dessous des dernières photos que tu nous a montrées !
Mais j’aime tout de même la palette de couleurs et le côté technique !
Ca mérite donc un beau sourire vert
Beau travail
Amicalement,
Sébastien

Salut Paolo,
Effectivement une présentation avec le bateau un peu excentré ferait sans doute un meilleur effet. Quant aux couleurs elles semblent un peu ternes à cause du scan. L'endroit devait être paradisiaque.

Hello Paolo,

Hi Paolo,
The ship is rather centrally located, but otherwise it's a nice photo with very pleasant mood. Well done.

Thanks,
Marek
