Daddy, What If... Photo

Photographer’s Note

Daddy, what if the sun stopped shining?
What would happen then?

If the sun stopped shinning, you'd be so surprised
You'd stare at the heavens with wide open eyes,
And the wind would carry your light to the skies
And the sun would start shining again.
...

"Shel Silverstein"
1932-1999 American poet

I like this reflection on water Elihesamian. You do this good. They are almost all dark tones, but it is very expressive view. This view is indeed very special view of fields and water. I have not seen something like this ever before! Thanks for sharing.
Be omide didar, Don.

Very nice poem to go with this perfect view. The sky is really special it's like two different shots in one. Exellent work again, Mohammed ;o)

A splendid composition with excellent of colours, very nice photograph Mohammad. Great work!

pamastro (7213) 2004-07-17 13:20

Stunning shot, Mohammad. The colors, the lighting, the reflection, it's all beautiful. Just amazing. That field is great the way it dips and rises to peaks and dips again. So beautifully smooth with a great sky to bring out this great result. The broken reflection matches the moody day, not exactly pristine but still beautiful in its own way. Excellent job!

Oh this one lovely - I like that landscape and reflections, which I can't find around here - even they somehow seems familiar - the title also very well choosen to descripe the change in weather.
I know that song as well - thanks for sharing Mohammad.

Great one, Mohammad. Wonderful patterns and colors in the fields on the hill, and a fine reflection on the body of water. Good "layer" effect against the blurrier hills in the background. The poem you found makes a wonderful companion to this photo.

albiback (8506) 2004-07-17 16:57

a use of the color which brings us very close to painting. A harmony in tone cold that the light comes to reveal us. Poetic and musical.

cmartos (6086) 2004-07-17 17:00

Wonderful shot Mohammad. You cought a wonderful sight, with beautiful reflections. i like the slight surreal mood on this one, the note is very well suited too...and vice-verca. Fine work!

Wonderful composition & reflections

ale (1819) 2004-07-18 4:52

Hello Mohammad!
What a beautiful landscape!
It's so peaceful and poetic (like your note), I like the stripes of colours and the dramatic sky, the reflection is a great touch!
Very well done!

jagk (446) 2004-07-18 5:05

Very nice composition. Love the reflexion on the water and the different shapes on the hill.
I think in autumn and spring this will be a very nice site to see.
Maybe you should try a 4 season picture of this place

Mohammad,
this is a beautiful scene with a lovely mood and unreal colours.

Rockyboy (20580) 2004-07-18 14:07

What I really want is that the sun shine in my country... I am back from Mexico since 31 May and I never had a week end with a sunny weather... Always rain!
Anyway, a good and very beautiful picture with a very nice poem in the note. Bravo, Mohammad!

What a delight to see this, I like your note, but I am used not to see the sun rise for one month a year.

ma-tibou (4566) 2004-07-19 3:06

Très belle prise de vue Mohammad, jolies couleurs; Bien vue Bravo.

Too late to add anything new, great landscape.

Hanssie (9133) 2004-07-25 3:21

What a landscape, Mohammad, smooth and with a beautiful water in the foreground, very nice to look at this peaceful scene, wonderful !
And a nice poem too !

phi729 (2099) 2004-07-25 12:21

The sweetness of the shapes and colors of the "patchwork" created by the fields is sumptuous. The reflection of hills in water, slightly broken by the undulations formed by wind, adds a beautiful effect. I like also the menacing sky completing the dramatic touch.

The poem is illustrated superbly by this peaceful composition. Well done, Mohammad.
