Photographer's Note

A sunset from my balcony

UPDATE: After more than a year, this photo is featured on New TV, a local TV station who has a international broadcast too. They have used the pic as a Break in/out jingles for Ramadan.

:D

Really cool image Mayr. This is a very urban sight, very poetic and nostalgic. Rings a bell in any of us.
Well done.

This is a great image which captures the feeling of the city in the random angles of the antennas. A wonderful metaphor. Some are broken. They are all pointing in different directions. I don't know about categorizing it as humorous. But I really like the image.

Great capture for me. View like from future, strange and I must said: a litle bit I'm afraid when I see that view, and you? good stuff, good luck

A truly wonderful picture. The sunlight is gorgeous. The FOREST of antennas is amazing (especially in silhouette)!

This has a feeling that is at the same time a bit technological and a bit old country, as though the middle eastern sun is slowly beating down those antennas that grow up like weeds.

A perfectly simple and yet highly-effective representation of Beirut. Very rapidly industrializing, but doing so on-top-of their older civilization. The beautiful colors of the sunset, and the use of sillouette provides the dramatic, yet simple-acheived effect. The different angles and intersecting lines also enhance the interest.

A very nice and simple shot, I like the colour of the sky opposed to the black and sulky antennas.
Even the sky is crowded nowadays.
I wonder why have you put the picture in the category Humorous... unfortunateky that's the reality in 90% of the towns...

This is unique shot. You have done a great job opposing the light to create silhouette, the color of the sky is just amazing, thanks for sharing,
