This photo was supposed to be only my "so long" to all of you, because in a few hours I´ll be leaving to África. My first experience at the subsaharian part of the continent.

But just opening Internet I´ve read at the webpage of "El Pais" that the master Ingmar Bergman has passed away today. I´ve felt sad. Not only dissapears one of the greatest filmmaker ever, somehow a way of thinking is going as well. At present times, when the attitude from the mass-media toward the culture has to be as "Cool", "terrific" and "gorgeous" as lack of deepness, the departure of mister Bergman could mean more space for the Paris Hilton, Nicole Ritchie, David Beckham or Lindsay Lohan way of thinking.
From here I would like to send an idea to the UNESCO: To start a list of "World human heritage" concerning people and not only monuments and landscapes, and to put the autor of such a great films as The seventh seal, Wild Strawberries or Fanny and Alexander the firt on the list, because his work belongs to all of us. Bye, bye Mister Bergman.

That´s all folks, from my behalf I just want to say so long to all of you, I´m leaving to Tanzania, to cross some other frontiers and to play what it is my most precious sport in life, TO TRAVEL, and while moving to discover my relatives: The humans of the world.

Take care.

Hi Miguel,
Love this POV.This give me a sense of endlessness somehow as I follow the slope from down to top.The colour is good-bit too saturated for my likings.The contrast level is excellent and the blue sky peeping through adds to the beauty.
Greetings from India,

Hola Miguel,

Muy bonita homenaje a Ingmar Bergman. Su pelicula El Séptimo Sello es la mia preferida. Me gusta el ciel visto a través de los árboles. Muy hermosos colores, contraste y luminosidad.

Cuidate

Just heard the sad news myself, and a fine tribute here. In fact I was surpised that he was still alive, since he hasn't done anything for so long, those guys usually seem to carry on until their last film has to be completed posthumustly.

Looking forward to seeing your results from Africa.

"Qué vaya bien en tu aventura".

Eso es lo que me gustaría poder haber dicho sobre tu foto... pero veo que la primera noticia que tengo del mundo después de un largo día de trabajo (vengo ahora de París), es triste.

En cualquier caso, un bonito homenaje para una gran persona.

Hola Miguel, an axcellent image this is and what sad news indeed about Bergman and right after him Antonioli. Maybe yoú'll read this from a internetcafe or something, have a great and enriching time in Africa and take care!

Hola,
La foto me gusta, por los colores, el ligero contraluz y el encuadre dando la altura a los arboles. Pero lo que mas me gusta es el texto que la acompaña dando la poesia a lo que representa la foto. Bonito homenaje a este gran director de cine que "perdió su partida de ajedrez con la muerte", pero que pudo sacarle a la vida cosas tan grandes como el cine y su manera de pensar. Lo del patrimonio de la UNESCO me parece una idea original,...proponla,... :-)

Saludos,

Javier

Hola Miguel, gran color definición y buen POV y sobre todo el comentario esta logrado.
Saludos

Hola Miguel!

Ese es un gran homenaje a uno de los mas grandes en la historia de cine. Una gran toma, muy adecuada a este momento. Muy interesante nota, tambien. Felicidades, amigo!

Un saludo,
Hercules

Hola Miguel
Has conseguido un tiro muy agradable, captando toda la belleza de los árboles en varios tonos de color, haciendo un buen contraste con el cielo, me gusta el control de luz que has realizado.
Buen trabajo
Un saludo.
