Photographer's Note

This is a lonely pathetic bench. Not allot of things going for him… Located on a remote deserted beach, built as simple as possible (not even support for the back) and somewhat not noticeable with colors similar to the surrounding environment.

Have a good weekend!

It is really a pity that the bench has colors similar to the surrounding environment because the main element of your very good composition doesn't show up in the right way. Of course this is not your falt. Perhaps the compositionwould be better with a lonely guy on the bench to underline more the loneliness of this windly coast.

Good morning Efi!now is 8:30 am in Tehran and I'm in my workplace!...It's pleasance to watching the poetical shot in this moment for me from United states:)
The bench with a poor colors and as a strong point is very harmonic with ambience,well placed in framework,...the sound of the wind & waves of the sea are another great elements for this artistic shot,yes the sound!
well composed & depth is very fine,...I like it,Efi.
Thanks for sharing.
Sincerely,M

With your bench series, you really have found a simple but very pleasant subject matter, Efi. The colors contrast and textural details in this are really good, and the placement of the rocks on the beach affords a pleasant graphism against the backdrop of the deep blue sea. Delightful shot, and have a great weekend too.

I think I could spend a few hours on that bench just watching the waves roll in. It is a nice foreground to the nice beach behind, adds depth and a touch of indirect human presence.

A beautiful picture again, Efi! Good composition, minimalistic and graphic. Front and background well separated by the line of grass, and the background is very interesting, with those boulders on the beach. Congratulations!

Ok, it's a simple bench, but as you can see, it works very good for a picture! So it does have an added value. Thanks for the nice view and have a nice weekend too.

Nice perspective Efi. Well done. Pay caution this camera has the tendency for giving some cyan hues. Ussualy you cam easily remove in PS

One thing I can say for OR, she has some of the prettiest coast line in the world.

He shouldn't complain. At least he has the best view and someone is looking after his courtyard. I guess, it wouldn't count to much, sitting and enjoying the view for a while, on account of lacking a back, and letting others to sit down for just as much. And he doesn't compete with its surroundings.

Hi Efi,

you managed to bring this bench to the attention of a big audience. So it is not so lonely anymore. Very good details, excellent colors and a great composition with this well chosen background.

I like this bench quite linear with the sea in the background made of curves .This is a good contrast in forms and colors.

Yes, Efi, perhaps a lonely pathetic bench, but certainly a good place to sit and contemplate that beauty, especially with a good company...
Good "wind feeling" here and a very nice beach, good work!
