Photographer’s Note

A River Poem
Inside the river are
the sky, the cloud, and the sun.
In my hands’ bowl is the river.

If I throw up my hands,
the river spills in drops, scattering
sky, cloud, and sun all o’er me.

From my hands’ bowl, if I drink
the river, then within me,
the sun, the cloud, and the sky.

Tell me, who is in who?

Quel beau cliché de ce cours d'eau avec de superbes reflets. Belle profondeur, le regard va jusqu'au bout.
Merci pour le partage et bon dimanche.
Je connais cette poésie mais j'étais incapable de reconnaître l'auteur.

This is an easy picture of the river but the line of sky and clouds make a suprise, also the "streaming green", nice seen, nice scene !

Lovely calm and cool image. Leading lines and beautiful greens and blues. Swirling patterns in the river.

Very well done!

Bonjour Philippe,
This is an interesting shot. I like how the reflections on the river mix with under water greenery. It's quite unusual and nice. Well done.

Thanks,
Marek

Bonsoir, mon ami Philippe,
Quelle jolie composition fluviale pleine de végétation et de vie. Parfaite diagonale de la rivière dans ce bon cadrage.
Les reflets du ciel dans l'eau nous montrent les détails des nuages et le ciel que nous ne pouvons pas voir, ce qui nous indique le bon oeil du photographe ici.
Une image très agréable et charmante, j'aime beaucoup.
Bravo.
Amitiés,
Josep

alvaraalto (5231) 2006-05-14 16:12

Bonsoir Philippe,
Beautiful poetic picture with a very matching poem. A great combination. The mixture of the river and the waterplants with the reflections and shadows is just wonderful.

sergecross (3438) 2006-05-14 16:42

Philippe, beautiful shot. I like the water movement and the green saturated color on the trees.
Excellent

A simple but quite pleasant image, Philippe, the simplicity in terms of colors and framing works well to emphasize the natural beauty of this rural scenery. Pleasant light and a good choice of shooting angle to also benefit from the clouds reflected in the water surface.

salut philippe
sacré couleur verte de cette rivére, avec en reflet les nuages, génial ta photo

singuanti (15240) 2006-05-14 20:31

Hi Philippe. What a difference where you've got those reflections. The sharpness and colors are both great. Beautiful work Philippe!

weswang (18223) 2006-05-14 23:58

Hi Philippe, In this view, the reflection is much more attractive and clear than the sky itself. A beautifully composed picture with nice reflections and good depth. Well done.

Bonjour Philippe,
Belle photo de cette rivière, mi-ciel, mi-verdure qui semble s'écouler lentement entre les arbres. Une image qui nous invite à la détente...
Je te souhaite un bonnr journée.
Brigitte

riclopes (32971) 2006-05-15 4:01

Bonsoir Philippe,
What a lovely image and poem!
What amazes me more is the quality of this attractive image. Perfect colours and lighting in a very clear image. I love the sky in the river and all the luxurious greenery that surrounds it, including the green reflections and vegetation in the water.
Congratulations for this impressionist painting!
Merci,
Amitiés,
Ricardo

Bonjour Philippe,
Lovely poem again but I have no answer on your question! I like absolutely the splendid reflection of the clouds and blue sky in river, really a very summer picture in the spring.
Amitiés Philippe,
John

jemaflor (39259) 2006-05-15 13:00

Salut Philippe,
Quels reflets, c'est superbe, comme les couleurs et la lumière excellente pour mettre en valeur ce lieu. Bon effet aussi de la direction des algues qui donnet un effet de dynamisme au cours d'eau. Composition également très équilibrée, bien vu.
Tiens à sec ... malgré le débit, A+

Didi (36056) 2006-05-15 13:23

Bonsoir Philippe
Seul un habitué du coin peut découvrir des coins insolites.
Une verdure très appréciable enchante cette composition; un point de vue bien choisi sur cet endroit discret.
Le tout agrémenté d'un joli poème.

PJE (19417) 2006-05-16 0:13

Philippe this presentation is a lovely compilation of colors and shapes. The blue sky intermingled with the shades of green and the underwater grass. A place for a canoe for sure, and to paddle quietly so one will not disturb the sounds of nature from all around. Thanks for sharing!

Albrecht (11004) 2006-05-16 3:00

Hi Philippe
wonderful green scene also in the river. Very Spring...!
-greetings Albrecht-

Bonjour mon ami Philippe,

It is nice finding your photos again.

I like very much both the image and the poem, which even seems to be inspired by your photo.

The exposure is superb, with brilliant colors and great contrast.

Amitiés, saludos,
Carlos

Bonjour Philippe,
Magnifique reflexion et merci pour les deux poèmes.
Bon dimanche

albiback (8506) 2006-06-05 4:08

Bonjour Philippe,

Moi aussi je redécouvre avec plaisir ta galerie, notament cette superbe invitation pour partir à la découverte de Dordive que je connais bien, un ami y a une maison pas loin de Bransle dans le hameau de brandard.

Pour revenir à ton cliché la transparence de l'eau, la pureté de la lumière et le grand angle font merveille. Magnifique.

lorak (227) 2006-07-03 16:43

Very interesting and colourful picture. Perfect composition.
I like this reflection on this water. Moreover, these (lets say) algaes add a small dose of dynamism to Your photo. Congratulations and greetings!

pierrefonds (26167) 2006-12-13 17:37

Bonsoir Philippe,

Une bonne prise de vue de la rivière et de la réflection des arbres et du ciel dans l'eau ce qui donne un effet spécial à la photo. Elle a une bonne composition, profondeur de champs et de belles couleurs. Bonne soirée.
