Down by the water Photo

Photographer’s Note

Down by the water

I lost my heart
Under the bridge
To that little girl
So much to me
And now I'm old
And now I holler
She'll never know
Just what I found

That blue eyed girl
(that blue eyed girl)
She said "no more"
(she said "no more")
That blue eyed girl
(that blue eyed girl)
Became blue eyed whore
('came blue eyed whore)
Down by the water
(down by the water)
I took her hand
(I took her hand)
Just like my daughter
(just like my daughter)
Won't see her again
(see her again)

Oh help me jesus
Come through this storm
I had to lose her
To do her harm
I heard her holler
(I heard her holler)
I heard her moan
(I heard her moan)
My lovely daughter
(my lovely daughter)
I took her home
(I took her home)

Little fish. big fish. Swimming in the water.
Come back here, man. gimme my daughter.
Little fish. big fish. Swimming in the water.
Come back here, man. gimme my daughter.
Little fish. big fish. Swimming in the water.
Come back here, man. gimme my daughter ....

Ciao Paolo, I very much enjoy this absolutely beautiful sky. It is so rich in colour and texture of clouds. The little boat adds balance to the composition. Good job! Sabine

I agree with my colleagues. A fine photo, very romantic..almost a longing photo. You dont photograph, you paint.

Good view, but I wish there had been more info on the shot.

Hi Paolo,

Really good shot which reflects perfectly lonelyness. Beautiful sweet colours in the sky as on the sea. Good composition with the silhouette of the boat and its wake! Good note.
Good job!
Quentin.

Beautiful image. There is so much drama in the sky, yet the sea with its lone boat looks so peaceful, with the silky texture of the water.

Hi Paolo,
Very impressive colors and atmosphere !
This picture is fantastic with this wonderful sky...
Congratulations,
Christophe

A really beautiful shot, Paolo, with superb colours, and nicely balanced composition. I like the softness very much. I find the outer black frame a bit too heavy for such a delicate image, but otherwise, excellent work.

rbcy1974 (20742) 2005-11-17 6:53

Ciao Paolo,
An amazing sky, I like the way you have captured the waves, and the silvery tone of the water,
Very well done
Regards
Daniel

starbug (6924) 2005-11-17 7:10

wonderful, painting-like again...the sky and the dark, mysterious sea create a great atmosphere, and this small boat again...very romatntic, a little melancholic...
greetings:-)

Buondì Motta, nonchè Paolo!
... solo oggi ho afferrato appieno il tuo messaggio di qualche foto fa...! ;D))
Bellissima cartolina, soprattutto bellissimo il cielo, con quel blu/verde cupo che sembra presagire un temporale!
Chissà cosa davvero stavano cantando nel tramonto gli ospiti di quella barchetta!! ;D))
TFS, dalla tua infinita scorta di viaggio...
ciao, Giorgio

bantonbuju (48630) 2005-11-17 10:03

hi paolo, you are unbeatable with those marine sunsets; is there any sea in the world which you have not visited and photographed, so far?
nice colours and compo;
best wishes, jerzy

GerdVDC (836) 2005-11-17 10:03

The colours in this photo are simply stunning. With the boat, and the calm movement of the water, it brings across a very relaxing feeling. One to frame, I'd say :-)

Arrivederci,

Gerd

fayeulle (26543) 2005-11-17 13:26

Hi Paolo
I like your shot which look like a painting.
This is a great compo. Juste the position of the boat should be a liitle bit more on the right to get perfectly the 3/3 rule...

Bonjour Paolo, Magnifique couleus du ciel,joli reflet d'une douce lumiére sur l'eau et sur l'ombre de la pirogue, Jolie image, BRAVO.
Amitiés
Cricri

chinchini (27591) 2005-11-17 15:30

Bonsoir Paolo,
Quel joli tableau ! J'apprécie la composition simple mais d'une réelle beauté, avec ce ciel très coloré, cette mer couverte d'or et ce bateau laissant un long sillage qui pourrait se confondre avec l'horizon.
C'est très beau.
Pierre

gaby (19793) 2005-11-17 15:56

Paolo bonsoir c'est trop beau ce halo de couleur entourant le bateau avec le reste de l'image plongée dans des gris de plus en plus foncé - splendide et merveilleux -
Merci et bonne soirée
Gaby

dolin (15647) 2005-11-17 16:06

Hi Paolo.
Ohhhh il est magnifique ce ciel...très romantique et dramatique à la fois.
Les reflets dans l'esu sont également très beaux et j'aime bien le côté plus foncé de l'eau au premier plan.
La barque amène évidemment un plus.
Très jolie prise
Fred

gary91 (15321) 2005-11-17 18:30

Hello Paolo,
Wonderful sky that you have here. Very peaceful atmosphere, with this very quiet sea.
Very good composition with this boat silhouette just a little bit on the right side.
Regards. Christian

Hi Paolo,
Down by the water!
A lovely photo. Beautiful color is really touching. I could distinctly track the way the boat traveled.
Nice composition.
Dipak

simonekarl (404) 2005-11-21 17:57

Ciao Paolo
Che belle colori, e veramente bella e tranquila. La picola barca da qualcosa in piu a la tua composizione.
E tanto che non vedo il tuo angolo di TE, e cresuito, hai qualsi fotografato il mondo. Beato Te : )

thaprem (2486) 2005-11-24 2:01

Paolo,
The trademark Mystical shot of Paolo!!!!...
Liek gaby`s your shots have a unique tone to them, (much different from Gaby though) which makes them very mystic & dusky.
This is one which is well done & artistic.
Cheers,
Prem.
