Photographer’s Note

God Vs. man

They put out their heavy guns; man with his M252 81mm Mortar and God with is fearsfull power …

Somehow I don't think man has a chance here … even if he is part of the IDF

Wow Assi,

Such drama and a great composition. This really conveys to me the power of nature and places mankind in the very small context he/she holds - apart from the serious impact on the environment perhaps symbolized by the rude form of the tire tracks in the foreground. A bit of visual poetry here.

Well done!

Hello Assi,

The combination of the man-made trails on the colorful earth with the flashes of lighting in the sky create a really dramatic scene. The even balance between the two with a level half-and-half horizon placing works well here, when generally perhaps it does not.

Hi Assi. Incredible capture and excellently presented. The colours are very dramatic - it certainly looks impressive.

I prefer to think of this as man in the wrong place at the wrong time. To me, this is nature unless, of course, you believe that God is anti-IDF for some reason....!?

Excellent work. Best wishes, Paul.

Hi Assi, this is a fabolous composition. Not only the time was perfect but your POV gives the image a great perspectieve and depth. Very surreal the colours and the scene.

H Assi,

This is a magnificent catch! Lots of lightnings here lately, but this one is great.
I like the yellow color in the clouds and couldn't stop thinking that this lightning is very close and dangerous in this open wilderness..

Great

Hello Assi, what a spectacular vision, perfect light and POV.

Assi,
a spetacular photography! The composition with the tire tracks leading to the car and the people in the middleground, against the fantastic and allmighty weather in the background. The PP treatment gave additional dramatic element. Overall an extremely well crafted shot.
Cheers, Peter
