[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note

I have nothing to show for
I have done nothing to be remembered by
I have nothing to look forward to
I have no one to share my life with

I have all the time in the world
Just to be thankful to be alive

The mountains at the background are actually Jordan.

Hi Gilad
Amazing atmosphere on this photograph. The various colors are superb : The hot colors of the sky contrast and slice with the range of the ground.
the tree balances well the composition
The "vignettage" (sorry i don't found the translation ;) ) closes the image well
I like also much your note and the title of your picture

Quelles couleurs somptueuses pour cette magnifique photo! Un peu de vignettage dans les angles...voulu, certainement?
Amicalement
JJ

Bonjour Gilad

Bravo et bonne journée.

Hi Gilad,

Yes, straight to my 'Landscapes with WOW'.

Whose poem is it? It's wonderful. Really. Beautiful.
As is the shot. The vignetting is great. Did you add it or was it there originally? Looking at your camera + lense, I think you added it, since that combi would normally give little vignetting... Well, maybe at f/3.2. I'm not sure.

You put a smile on my face with this shot. And it's a really big one. It already developed when seeing today's wonderful postings of Henk, George, JB, Yan and Eric. It's a great day here today!! :-D

Thanks! Dennis

You have captured the spirituality of the moment. Your visual poetry captures the viewer. Incredible composition and work with a tricky time of day in regards to lighting. Very inspiring work!

I fell in love with the warm but moody colours as soon as I saw the thumbnail. The barren look of the land and the dry tree creates the dramatic atmosphere. I couldn't figure out those smoky parts on the corners; did you do something on the photoshop?
Congrats,
Fusun

hi gilad
such beautiful colors.this will be one of favorite ...everything is perfect
...more then alive
regards,anes

Hi Gilad,
Great, impressive colors and melancholic photo of course with the help of vignets. The dead tree makes this one a really sad one. A photographic poem...
Congrats,
Deniz

Great shot.

A beautiful mood shot in difficult lighting. The placing is simple and very effective. Unlike the others here, I did not like the vignetting, but that's just me.

Your poem goes nicely with it, too. Ha'im katavta otah b'ivrit?

Hi, Gilad

What a beautiful picture. The dof is just perfect and the colors are amazing. I like the vigneting very much and it helps to make the picture even more interesting.
