Solitudes Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

Solitudes
---------
They are right,
that happiness with capital letter does not exist at least.

Ah! but if it existed with small letter,
would be similar to our brief pre - solitude.

After the joy, the solitude comes,
after the fullness, comes the solitude,
after the love, comes the solitude.

I already know that it is a poor deformation,
but the certain thing is that in that durable minute, one feels single in the world.

Without handles,
without pretexts, hugs, resentments,
the things that unite or separate,
and in that single way to be single,
not even one is taken pity of one same one.

The objective data are as they follow,
are ten centimeters of silence,
between your hands and my hands,
a border of words nonsaid between your lips and my lips
and something that that shines sad
between your eyes and my eyes.

Clear that the solitude does not come single,
if a compact length and,
a simple respect by third or quarters,
that mishap of being is watched after on the dull shoulder of our solitudes,
will be seen impossible good people.

After the joy,
after the fullness,
the love the solitude comes.

In agreement, ¿but what will come after the solitude?

Sometimes I do not feel so single,
if I imagine, rather if I know that beyond my solitude and of yours,
you again are,
although it is asking solo,
¿that will come after the solitude?

Poem Of Mario Benedetti

Hola John, bonito poema.... preciosa postal y un tema muy interesante del que hablar y pensar "la soledad".

Una imagen sencilla, color, luz y mucha soledad.

Felicidades amigo por el trabajo y que pases un feliz fin de semana y que no sea en compañía de la soledad.

Un abrazo.

Hello John,
I like this composition very poetic and graphic, a little over-exposure in the white clouds, it's a pity!

Hi John,
The sky and clouds are very bold in colour and contrast in comparing with the green earth, but the impact is great. Composition is very clever choosen with the hill and the lonesome tree...i like that.
Regards, Henk

Hola John,

¿Como esta usted? I like your two part of photo divided by shape of ridges naturally. The tree stays like fixed by hand and the blue sky is splendid with harsh white clouds. Great one, John, more valuable with Mario Benedetti's poem. Congratulations.

Best Regards,

Ertugrul

avene (11140) 2008-04-05 21:11

hello John,
the beauty lies in simplicity, and this photo is excellent proof to that, I like a lot how you used just the basic things - the curve of the hill, the clouds, the lone tree - to create a powerful image. bold colours work well to emphasise these few elements, this is excellent work.

with kind regards,
Kristine

Hello, John,
what a beautiful view. Those are some serious looking clouds coming up over the hill. I love the lone tree and the soft rolling nature of the hillside. The colors are lovely and it's a wonderfully peaceful spot. Many thanks and warmest regards,
Shelly

Hola John.

Un poco surrealistas los colores...no te has pasado un poco con el pp? Me gustan por eso...por supuesto.

Un saludo, Oscar

Hola John,
Una explosión de colores y de nubes blancas ! Tu composición es sencilla y muy muy bonita. Me gusta mucho.
A propósito de la soledad, pienso que tenemos que aprender a conocerla, 'domesticarla'. Pues nos ensenará mucho sobre nosotros mismos.
A mí, me parece que el más difícil es cuando te encontras con otras personas y nonobstante te encuentras tan solo.
Espero que no conozcas este tipo de soledad :-)
Un abrazo.
Marianne

What a wonderful scene you captured, Great lighting, composition and framing,
Best wishes,

Truja (4948) 2008-04-07 7:47

Hola John,
me gusta la sensación de calma y de soledad que me trasnmite la bella escena. La sola presencia del árbol en medio del verde prado y protegido por el inmenso cielo, es genial.
Además, el poema es delicioso y un medio que nos lleva a la reflexión ;-) Un trabajo muy interesante John!

El único detalle que no acaba de convercerme es el "azul" tan intenso del cielo, a mi gusto el color está demasiado fuerte. Evidentemente, es una cuestión subjetiva ;-)

Un fuerte abrazo, Jordi

Olá John,
uma paisagem impressionante e muito bonita essa, gostei das cores fortes e da bela captura das nuvens, embora tenha ocorrido uma superexposição de algumas áreas delas, um fato que tem que tomar bastante cuidado nesse tipo de fotos. Mas mesmo assim um belo trrabalho.
Parabens e Abraço!

cfreire (11667) 2008-04-07 9:12

Hi John,
Wonderful shot with good controls of lights, colors and definition. The great curve that cuts this landscape is beautiful. The composition is creative and elegant. Good job. Regards, Consuelo

stego (22482) 2008-04-08 3:40

Hola John,
Una compo minimalista muy bella, con el árbol de figura algo extraña, pero muy pintoresca en el medio de la colina muy verde y debajo de aquel cielo muy azul mas los nubes igualmente pintorescos. Una linda alegoría de la soledad.
Saludos, José.

zmey (7282) 2008-04-08 8:08

hola, john

very trek-earthy picture in the literal sense of the word... :)) minimalistic and effective. you have caught the loneliness of the tree very well in this one. the bright sky-work contrasts help the mood.

warm regards,
kristaps

Hello John,
the almost painted sky with those white fluffy clouds makes an incredibly strong contrast against the green of the hill..very eye-catching I'd say. Compo works perfectly well with the lonely tree well placed in the frame. Excellent done!
Thanks for sharing it.
Regards,

Igor

Hola John,

Una imagen que en el ámbito compositivo has sabido exprimir, buena división entre cielo y tierra y como punto de equilibrio ese árbol solitario, poco elementos pero con buen resultado visual, pero lo que no me gusta demasiado es el exceso de saturación en los colores, sobre todo el cielo, queda un poco artificial, ¿sigues con el mismo monitor? uhmm, no sé, no sé, ya te dije que vengo para darte caña, seguiremos revisando tu galería ;-)

Por cierto... buen poema.

Un abrazo
José
