Description

I SAW... One day, last November, I saw a barren tree dominate with it's presence the empty beach. This haunting image often comes back to my mind, in the shape of a vision. Marina di Massa, November 2003. Thanks for viewing.

I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes. Life is demanding, without understanding. This image is haunted! Bravo, you managed it.

Wonderful scenery. What about leaving that village out of the image and showing more of the sea instead? To me (just to me!!) the tree is a little to centered. Just an idea :-)

Agree with Raven 427. You've captured a lovely scene.

I explain my choices: the tree (which is not in the perfect centre) has to be in the middle because for me it's the absolute protagonist of this image. It, and the space of the sand. Also, in that position it deepens the perspective. If I had moved the tree to the right and showed more sea, I would have made a nice common seascape image. That wasn't my intention. I wanted to make the image as disturbing as it was for me to see it. I wanted to make it as terminal as a chapter of the Apocalypse. Don't know how much I succeeded, but that was my objective.

*Yeah. That a wonderful picture my friend. I think you succeeded very well. Remind me a picture that i took last year. There was a tree (a little bit bigger that this one) alone in the middle of nowere. Those picture mean a lot. Solitude, dark day etc... and now what about the picture. Excelent one. Good quality, i love the sky. Soo beautiful. Perfect shot. //vote// !!!!!!:O)!!!!!!

there's something infinitely opening about this image. the mood is low-fi, and it reminds me of memories too good and powerful to fade. awesome.
