I Can't Touch the Sun, a photo from Khuzestan, West

Photographer's Note

"I Can't Touch the Sun"

I can't touch the clouds for you,
I never reached the sun for you.
I've never done the things that you need done for you.
I've stretched as high as I can reach,
I guess I'm not the one for you.

The bridge, with the shadows and the sun on background, are very nice Mohammad.

Vagabond (5848) 2004-07-11 3:50

Very nice picture with lovely crepuscle colours and interesting bridge detail ..

Bridges are links between the humans ( from a side to another side ) but in the case of your picture it's a link between the daylight ( blue-sky ) and the evening/night ( lower part )

DonQ (2625) 2004-07-11 4:12

Very well taken Mohammad. Blue tones are amazing, also yellow colour of the sunset well.Shadows of the bridge and trees and roofs with a water gives deepth on this composition. Bravo!
Regards, Don.
Ps. Your poetry note is just beautiful! :-)

Hi Mohammad, here you give ius a very, very nice sunset, the colours are excellent, and are the cause of all the different layers in the picture. Th esilhouette of the bridge is very, very nice, I like all those points sticking out.
I'll showe it my sister, she and her husband have lived in Ahwaz, before '79.

snuggleaphagus (4146) 2004-07-11 4:27

Beautiful colors, and such a dramatic photo, the beautiful sky and clouds are so well captured with the bridge giving it such a beautiful dimention.
I really like the silhoutted trees. The beauty in this photo is its quiet simplicity. The Note is perfect.

A photograph which seizes the fragile moment between day and night. Moment when the shades reveal architecture and forms. Vertical framework with superposition of the lines and the plans. Graph and successful

RGatward (20050) 2004-07-11 5:01

Great sky, and a nice graphic shot you've made with this bridge, especially with the silhouette of the town beneath the deck.

spence (65) 2004-07-11 5:05

Lovely graphic shot with great colours and a strong silhouette. Nice pov and composition, Mohammad.

ale (1819) 2004-07-11 5:06

Hello Mohammad!
What a beutiful shape of this bridge! I like this geometrical and poetical shot at the same time, the tones of colours of the sky are great.
Thanks for the beutiful poem!

Jeppe (18654) 2004-07-11 5:26

Wow - great light and composition you present for us here Mohammad. I like the different levels of sky, reflections and silhouettes - very well spotted and captured - I like it very much :-)

Beautiful light, beautiful colours, beautiful poem.

Zanni (6108) 2004-07-11 5:43

Kenny10pin (19301) 2004-07-11 8:47

great work here, I like the changes in colour of the sky, very well captured the bridge is nicely places and the colours are different on different parts of the bridge, well done

nwoehnl (122) 2004-07-11 11:50

A good composition you made, Mohammad, and with a scenery where most peoples initial idea would probably be a horizontal presentation, you went for the vertical one - and it works! Nice to see the river and the city silhouette placed below the bridge. The geometrical details of the bridge are interesting and the color setting in the background is beautiful as well. Well done, and the note is great, too.

cmartos (242) 2004-07-11 16:59

Nice vertical composition and good crop. Bridge and buildings silhouettes come out very well and blue/yellow tones opposition are great here. You also managed a perfect exposure to get this mood, very well done Mohammad!

pamastro (7218) 2004-07-11 20:59

Just beautiful. The lighting, the colors, the silhouette. So peaceful and so beautiful. The surface of the water, though active still has a peaceful activity to it. The clouds are nice and light and wispy really giving the final touch on making this such a light, weightless, image. Excellent, Mohammad.

maphoto (8082) 2004-07-11 22:22

Very nice vertical presentation, it is a nice bridge accompanied with beautiful details and colors, very sharp, well done.

jhonny_blue (4956) 2004-07-12 4:50

Very good composition Mohammad, the colours are fantastic ! Very good !

Galeota (10338) 2004-07-12 4:55

Excellent composition Mohammad. The exposure is well managed and the colours are beautiful. Well done.

summer89 (5422) 2004-07-12 8:59

jrzufferey (7301) 2004-07-12 16:20

Hello, Superbe image que tu nous offres là. Composition magnifique et les couleurs sont très belles. Deux points me semble bien insuffisant. Amicalement/jr

Jan100 (158) 2004-07-14 9:34

This is beautiful. I love all the different layers and contrasting colours. The white clouds at the back of the bridge are a big asset to the picture. Well done.

sn00zie (2384) 2004-07-26 12:03

another beautiful composition. extremely pretty colors in the sky. love the silhouttes that you've made a part of your composition. bravo!

danielswalsh (13591) 2004-09-15 8:41

Beautiful Photo Mohammad,

I like the very strong structure and silhouette against the beautifuly colored sky.
The deck of the bridge really does a great job in dividing the sunset, and enhancing the contrast.
Lovely work my friend!
