Photographer’s Note

"The Door"

Go and open the door.
Maybe outside there's
A tree, or a wood,
A garden,
Or a magic city.
Go and open the door.
Maybe a dog's rummaging.
Maybe you'll see a face,
Or an eye,
Or the picture
Of a picture.
Go and open the door.
If there's a fog
It will clear.
Go and open the door.
even if there's only
the darkness ticking,
even if there's only
the hollow wind,
even if
nothing
is there,
go and open the door.
At least
There'll be
A draught.

By Miroslav Holub

*******************************************************
"la puerta"

Vé y abre la puerta.
Tal vez fuera hay
Un árbol, o un bosque,
Un jardín,
O una ciudad mágica.
Vé y abre la puerta.
Tal vez un perro hurgando.
Tal vez verás una cara,
O un ojo,
O la imagen
De una imagen.
Vé y abre la puerta.
Si hay niebla
Aclarará.
Vé y abre la puerta.
incluso si sólo hay
oscuridad,
incluso si sólo hay
el hueco del viento,
incluso si
nada
hay ahí,
vé y abre la puerta.
Como mínimo
habrá
una corriente de aire.

Hello Sergio,
I really like this photo, especially the almost tangible texture. An original framing, a good idea and a real success. The details of the wood are very well collected. Well done my friend!!
Best regards,
Darek

Sergio,
I wouldn't really want to be the one knocking on that door, not with my hand, I would have to use a rock, it will just hurt my hand, I'll have to protect my hand for clicking the shutter of my camera. Simple view of the wooden door, great texture of the wooden grain, and nice details. Maybe a just a little strong on the contrast and sharpening, maybe that why it look rather rough. Or just the way the wood is. Regardless a very successful shot. Thanks.
Way

Bonjour Sergio.
Cette photo est une réussite. La vieille porte est d'une grande beauté. J'aime la texture du vieux bois. La photo met en valeur le graphisme et les couleurs de la porte.
Excellent !

Me gusta, igual le falta un poco de definición, pero los colores y texturas están bastante logrados.

Un saludo.

Hello Sergio,
I love the texture of the old wood and the rusty nails. This is a fine tribute to the craftsmanship of people who were here long before us.
