There where the shadows Photo

Photographer’s Note

There, where the shadows become bigger and more important than the subjects.
There, where the shadows are telling their stories.
There, where the humans can't hide because of their shadows.
There, where the shadows are everything.

Geia Sou Kostas,
really a fascinating and thoughtful note for a more fascinating image where the symbolism is very powerful. You have both a poet and a philosopher in you, that compliments the lover of life that you convey so clearly in your work and words. The sail makes an ideal "canvas" to paint the long shadows on, and the light was effectively chosen to increase the impact. Very original and with a great mood.
All the best.
Stella

Hello Dear Kostas,

This is evocative of a shadow puppet I remember from my youth. Perhaps you have also seen the same sort of thing as a child. Your engaging note is very appropriate. But the real beauty of the shot is the composition and light management.

Have a good weekend, Kostas,

Bulent

there is a saying "the sun is setting there, where the shadows of the politicians are longer than themselves"
not related with the photo, but i remembered it after reading your note.
the photo? just the type of light/shade plays that i love...

Γειά σου Κώστα!
Μπόρεσες με πολύ λίγες γραμμές και σκιές, να αποδώσεις μία συναισθηματικά power ατμόσφαιρα που μεταδίδει ευαισθησίες και μεγάλες καλλιτεχνικές ανησυχίες!
επαινώ σε
Γεώργιος

Κώστα καλησπέρα,
ωραίο στιγμιότυπο με την σκιά στο τεντόπανο να θυμίζει σ΄εμάς τους παλαιότερους σκηνές από θέατρο σκιών.Πολύ καλή η αποτύπωση και με αυτό το κιτρινωπό φως να την κάνει ανυπέρβλητη.

Καλό βράδυ,Δάνος

looks surreal to me... an uncommon night shot with uncommon objects... a well seen and well composed one for sure kosta... love it a lot... all the best from cold cold germany...

kpav (5027) 2008-11-28 11:40

Γεια σου Κώστα, απίθανη, ποιητική θα έλεγα εικόνα, που συνοδεύεται από ένα εξίσου εξαιρετικό σημείωμα. Μου αρέσει πολύ ο τρόπος που συνδυάζεις την εικόνα με τις λέξεις σε ένα αποτέλεσμα μοναδικό. Σε χαιρετώ,
Κώστας.

Θωμάς

It's beautiful, Kostas! you are one of the members I really admire to have the ability to give such poetic meaning to their photo...The mood is fantastic!

coco (29123) 2009-07-12 12:48

Kalispera again, Kostas.

Once more the way you've managed the light is very good. I love this photo and especially how you composed it.

Regards.

Glint (3258) 2009-07-29 5:05

hello Kostas,
I love this shadow play.The areas of light and shadow have well balanced proportions. The light through thecanvas has an especially luminous quality and this has an echo in the light surrounding the figure on the lift.
