NO POINTS, PLEASE

Today I have received an automated message in the one that communicates to me that my previous photo has deactivated because it seems to violate the terms of service of TrekEarth, for the reason that is a Common Object and w/o Suitable Note.

I suppose that the one who sends this automated response from this site does not know the feeling of immense happiness that it represents to turn into grandfather.
In consequence, on having eliminated the photo, and with it all the beautiful and sincere commentaries and congratulations that I received of many TE friends, I must be grateful for these commentaries, critiques and congratulations that unfortunately have disappeared.

For this reason, today I present this photo, where instead of a glass of cava you can see the beautiful river Valira del Nord, in my walk along the Camí Real, to which I am going to give the symbolic name of River of the Life, and that I dedicate to all those children who are born in the world. In order that they have a life happy and prosperous, full of love and peace. Though it must be a Utopia.

I hope that this note and the photo do not violate the rules.

Thank you very much to all, friends.

SIN PUNTOS, POR FAVOR

Hoy he recibido un mensaje automatizado en el que se me comunica que mi anterior foto se ha desactivado porque parece violar los términos de servicio de TrekEarth, por la razón que es un Objeto Común y/o Nota Conveniente.

Supongo que quien me envía esta respuesta automatizada desde este sitio no conoce el sentimiento de inmensa alegría que representa convertirse en abuelo.
En consecuencia, al desaparecer la foto, y con ella todos los bellos y sinceros comentarios y felicitaciones que recibí de muchos amigos de TE, yo debo agradecer estos comentarios, críticas y felicitaciones que desgraciadamente han desaparecido.

Por este motivo, hoy presento esta foto, donde en lugar de una copa de cava podéis ver el hermoso río Valira del Nord, en mi paseo por el Camí Real, al que voy a dar el simbólico nombre de Río de vida, que os dedico a todos vosotros, y también a todos aquellos niños que nacen en el mundo. Para que tengan una vida feliz y próspera, llena de amor y paz. Aunque eso debe ser una utopía.

Espero que esta nota y la foto no violen las reglas.

Muchas gracias a todos, amigos.

Todavia no entiendo el razonamiento detras de algunas decisiones... pero... son mis mejores deseos de que la felicidad que te ha traido el nuevo nieto sean a grandes caudales como los que presentas en esta bella foto. (A ver si no anulan este comentario tambien)
una forca abracada para ti y para pili, y muchas bendiciones para el nuevo pnieto.

Hola mi amigo Josep,

Salud again for new grandson and grandfather. Meaningful dedication for new born children, excellent setting for capturing full of life and future there while symbolizing it with water. Congratulations.

Friendly Regards,

Ertugrul

Hola amigo,
Une photo rafraichissante qui est bienvenue.
Amicalement,
Fabrice

Salut Josep,
Toujours intéressant d'utiliser la pose longue pour créer une belle texture aquatique.
J'aime beaucoup ce cadrage qui exploite l'effet, bien vu,
Bonne soirée,
JB.

Josep, I'm sorry your photo from yesterday was deleted. I thought it was an appropriate photo, showing that Spaniards celebrate a birth with a drink of cava. I think there are many photos posted on TE that are truly not in the spirit of the rules, but, for some arbitrary reason, they stay. Yours was not one of them. And you have certainly proven your respect for TE and its purpose. It's a shame. I hope you wrote to the administrators to protest and make your case. If you are persuasive, maybe they will reconsider. In any case, without dragging out my laborious Catalan again, I will once again congratulate on you grandson's birth.

As for my critique, the water symbolizes life. And also change. As someone once told me -- one of the most brilliant people I ever met -- a compatriot of yours from Catalunya, in fact -- you never set foot in the same river twice. I believe it is a quote from Heraclitus. And it seems to have a lot to do with photography and its relationship to the fleeting moment that never occurs again, yet is linked to a constant chain of moments that are all part of the same flow.

So there you go. A very meaningful photo.

Moltes felicitats.

Salut,
-Hugh

You can almost hear the gushing water in this picture. The shutter speed certainly adds a sense of motion. Nicely framed too. Well done.

Hola Josep,
Siento que te quitaran la foto que además significaba mucho en tu calidad de abuelo primerizo, yo pensaba poner una similar dedicándotela, pero ya no se si lo haré, a lo mejor me arriesgo. Pero da igual tu alegría no te la quitan por la desaparición de la foto.
Esta que has puesto tiene mucha vida.
Buen trabajo amigo y de nuevo ¡¡¡Enhorabuena!!!
Un abrazo

Hi Josep,

I can understand your feelings. First of all my congratulations, it is such wonderful thing to have a baby in the family. Maybe you remember, I also wanted to share my happiness with all the world when my granddaughter was born. She is a cute girl three month olc now. The second thing is the desactivation of the picture. It happens without a reason. If you have many critiques and the people like the pic, why to delete it? I know many such events. it seems to me unfair also to those who write critiques.
and at last, I like this photo and I hope it survives.

felicitaciones, amigo

Hola Josep,
abans de res felicitar-vos, tant als avis com als pares, no hi ha res més bonic en aquest món que veure néixer al teu fill i en el teu cas, el teu net. Així que molta felicitat i molta salut!! enhorabona!
No vaig veure la foto censurada, però aquesta d'avui m'agrada molt, per la metàfora del riu ple de vida i d'emoció, ple de colors i sentiments com una nova vida ....
Un treball presentat amb gran tendresa, respecte i amor a la vida!

Una forta abraçada,

Holla Josep!
The amount of motion that you gave to the water is very nice, due to the right exposition. More than this, it became surreal silky waters.

Hola Josep!

Una foto muy "refrescante", has capturado muy bien el movimiento del agua, gran encuadre y composicion, muy buen manejo de la luz! Felicidades!

Un saludo,
Hercules

PD. Despues de haber leido la critica de Enrique... Que buenas noticias!!! Enhorabuena, amigo mio!

I didn't see the previous photo, but understand that congratulations are in order. Congratultions to you and Senora Marin on becoming grandparents, and congratultions to the baby's parents. Why not post a photo of the baby in the WS. I've seen other people who do that.
As for the photo it is a good waterfall image with a slow shutter speed to show the motion of the water. Well done

Bonjour Abuelo!
Je suis presque heureuse de ne pas avoir vu ta photo avec ce verre de Cava, comme ça aujourd'hui je pense que je peux (sans problèmes futurs avec le logiciel de censure de TE) te féliciter pour cette si bonne nouvelle!
Tous mes voeux pour ce nouveau Terrien!
Et bravo pour cette merveilleuse photo de cette rivière pleine de symboles. 1/25 me semble être un excellent temps de pose.

Hola Josep.
Felicitaciones para ti y tu esposa por el nacimiento de tu nieto, ya me imagino la alegría que tienen ustedes de tan buen regalo que Dios les ha dado tanto a los abuelos como también a los padres. Un fuerte abrazo y que Dios lo guarde y bendiga.
Los que dirigen TE tienen que comprender que ya este programa de fotos para enseñar el mundo no es una pagina fría, sin vida, solo de fotos, ya TE es un grupo de amigos en todo el mundo y que como amigos que somos así actuamos y eso no tiene nada de malo ya que nos ayudamos cada uno con el otro y así he aprendido a tomar mejores fotos y hacer muy buenas amistades. Espero que ellos razonen y sean un poco flexibles en sus decisiones.
Un fuerte abrazo mi querido amigo de Barcelona.

belle photo de cette petite chute et de cette rivière qui coule des jours heureux.

Bonne netteté de cette chute et de ces remous qui sont de toute beauté.

Olá Josep,
tem horas que não da pra entender esses moderados do TE mesmo, com certeza não leram sua foto pra saber como era um momento especial pra você. Mas mesmo assim continuamos, as vezes mais pelas amizades encontradas aqui. Boa foto essa com um timming perfeito.
Parabéns e Abraço!

Hola Josep
For the joy of the news, I will still award you points. The picture is worth the smiley but the occasion even more. It is a good waterfall image with a slow shutter speed to show the motion of the water. But I request you to post the picture of your grandchild in a WS...that would not break any rule whatsoever my friend.

Me gusta mucho veer motivas de Andorra! En 1974 mi marido y you visitaba Andorra, un pais muy bonito, durante nuestra ruta de Lisboa, con un viejo Peugeot. Estaba nuestro viaje con automovil mas longo.
Esta fotografia es muy bonita!

Josep, comme tu le dis, ces suppressions sont automatiques dès que quelqu'un signale un problème mais en écrivant et t'expliquant je crois que tu peux reposter la photo. Cette rivière est bien le symbole de la vie. Le temps de pose fait un flou qui dynamise la photo.

Hi Josep. No points?? :-) :-) :-) :-) A few smiles though. Congratulations on becoming a grandfather. Very timely as I await grandchild number 2, my daughter is due tomorrow! Great photo to celebrate. Very appropriate. Well captured and thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Paul.

Acabo de ver tu nueva foto de introducciòn, y ho pensato: "Josep ha rejuvenecido subito!" :0)) De cierto modo, es la verdad, cuando nuestros descendientes llegano a la vida, es come nuestro rejuvenecimiento.
Enhorabuena, y muchas felicidades a los abuelos y a los padres! Mejores augurios por el niño! Que sua vida sea lunga, prospera y sobre todo feliz!
Lo siento que tu prima foto de augurio fue quitada . Pienso que las fotos estan quitadas cuando el azar hace que un membro decide di "relatar un problema" al automato, y pues hay nada que hacer! Los automatos son stupidos.

Pero, este rìo de vida trasmite la fuerza y la esperanza que debe acompañar un niño e sua vida.
Y tu has utilizado una astucia para presentarnos tu nieto. Es muy cariño.
Un gran saludo a toda la familia agrandada.

Hola Josep,
Your deep love for Andorra, really makes me want to visit there, your photos all show it to be a very special place. I really like the way you have framed the cascades of FG water and the swift green pool as it changes direct below the diagonal of the river framed in rocks.

I expect we all have had a photo deleted for one reason or another; still it doesn't mitigate the shock of its absence. Mine was a photo of my parents, posted in the Valentine contest, shortly after joining TE. Even though mine clearly violated the TOS, it still really hurt.

So onto to better things. Is this your first grandchild? My only grandchild is 14; I'm still convinced that grandchildren are one of life's greatest rewards.

The other better thing is that the TE community continues to exist, no matter what the administration. Yet I do think the rules help make the site much more than the hopeless hodge-podge of most photo sites or the shark pool of other sites. The critiques, the way we strive to post our best efforts, a meaningful note & to be polite to each other are all framed by the TOS.

Wishing you and your growing family salud, amor y alegria, Pat

Bonjour Josep,
une photo a regarder par forte chaleur tellement elle apporte de la fraicheur. J'aime le dynamisme de l'eau ici et le mouvement bien figé sans surexposition dans les écumes.
Amicalement.

Holá Josep.
Por veces no entiendo las personas que comandan este site puès me recuerdo perfectamente de la foto y nota diciendo que era solo porque eras abuelo que estavas postando aquela foto y mismo asi la han retirado...
De todas formas mis felicitaciones por el momento que estás viviendo y mis deseos que todo se marche bien con el miembro más pequeño del clã Marin.
Un abrazo.
