Sadness shades, a photo from Istanbul, Marmara

Photographer's Note

"Imagine" (John Lennon)

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

This song is a real ode to freedom and to life.

I would like to be in the multitudinous civic act in Paris at this moment.

Hola Pili,
Estoy pensando mucho de esta misma canci y sus palabras estos d僘s. Con esta foto podemos ver solamente las caracter﨎ticas de nosotros que son similares. No sabemos la raza o la religi de estas personas - y no importa. Somos miembros de la misma familia de sere humanos. Me gustan el POV y las sombras aqu�.

Ciao Pilar
la foto riguarda un particolare che vediamo spesso, ma che non riusciamo a decifrare come hai fatto tu, un ottimo occhio e un bel taglio. Sembra quasi un b&w e questo aumenta l'effetto della foto.
La tua nota � semplicemente fantastica.
Saluti
Carlo

Hola amiga Pili.
Una foto sensacional, perfecta para el mensaje que quieres transmitir con ella, es una imagen minimalista muy bien compuesta, el marco le va genial y el pie de texto en el mismo, es la guinda a un trabajo bien hecho....., en el texto maravillosa la cancion que reproduces.
Que bien que esteis teniendo buen tiempo en Andorra, pues la monta con sol es ideal.
Que tengais una buena semana y un fuerte abrazo para ti y Josep.
Luis.

Hola Pili,

Indeed these are sad days, when we do not feel safe and on the other hand do not want the divisions between the people. Let's hope that the New Year will bring freedom and peace everywhere in the world. Meaningful picture.
This beautiful song of John Lennon is also my favourite. Imagine ...
WArm regards MAlgo

Hola querida,
otra elecci perfecta para lo que quieres decir y que demuestra el sentimiento de millones de personas ante lo que ha pasado.
Esas sombras dicen mucho y simbolizan lo que se puede encontrar en Estambul, una mezcla de religiones y culturas diferentes, en armica convivencia de momento.
Eso es lo que tambi駭 quiso decir alto y claro el genial John Lennon con la letra de la mejor canci de todos los tiempos.
Esa canci en tu nota es simplemente impactante.
Besos,
Josep

Ciao Pilar
il tema delle ombre � sempre stato un argomento che ha affascinato il settore della fotografia.
Proprio in questi giorni in un sito al quale sono iscritto � stato aperto un contest avente questo tema e stavo pensando proprio a questo mnentre osservo la tua fotografia.
In maniera semplice e concisa hai saputo esprimere molto bene il tema delle ombre e degli sconosciuti, perlatro quasi invisibili, che ci stanno dietro e le hanno create.
Una bella composizione valorizza il tutto che, probabilmente sarebbbe ancor pi� suggestivo in una elaborazione in bianco e nero.
Complimenti
Un caro saluto.
Buon fine settimana
Romano

Int駻essantes silhouettes en contre jour
J'appr馗ie beaucoup
J'ai repris mes activit駸 apr鑚 une absence suite � une panne fatale d'ordinateur
Amicalement

Hello Pilar,

This is an imaginative photo, seemingly in B&W, but with subtle hues of blue in the marble. For a picture shot at midday, the most difficult time of day for photography, you've captured an eye catching abstract scene, especially coupled with John Lennon's immortal song.

Warm regards,

Bulent

Hello Pilar,
It's well seen and well composed, congratulations for this original composition, have a good day!
