Photographer’s Note
An Israeli soldier looking out the window of a very old and deserted house. The strong light gave me the opportunity to use the light for a dramatic scene.
Outside this window is a peaceful street, still the light gives this a dramatic effect and story.
This one was taken with a camera of a friend since I didn't have mine with me. Canon 350D with a 18-55mm lens

Hey Gilad,
It seems someone from 'ABOVE' there is watching over him. A reflective image of war, well done ;)

Hi Gilad,
Very good POV.
And interesting note.
Why this soldier is not wearing uniform ?
Cordially

Pourquoi ce soldat ne porte pas d'uniforme ?

Hi Gilad,
very good lighting. Very sad theme. The pic is reflecting the mood perfectly.
Cheers from Austria, Chris

Hi Gilad,
It does take a bit of an effort to get used to the low light, spot how the guy is sitting and the gun he is holding. But once you got that it is a high impact shot and as you say with dramatic light. Thanks for sharing!
Greetings

Hi Gilad,
as the saying goes: it's not the camera but the photographer that counts.
Great drama & light

hi,
Very good shot. I really like the scene, and the link between opposite subjects : light & dark are bind together...

amazing image! So dramatic, the pose, the light. The image looks heavily treated but well worth the effort. Rgds, Leilani
