A great documentary shot that gives me mixed feelings. This beautiful beach - looks like it could be a paradise, but then the brutal fence tells me this could be hell.
A very nice composition.
Very well seen and presented.

Terrible picture.
Think to have barbed wires on the beach...
Why humans are so fierce ?
Well done Gilad.

Note : I'm not stand up of one or other party in this comments.

Very symbolisic image of what happens when two sides fight for the same land : they even put fences in the sea.
Somebody still has to imagine fences in the air and that will be done.

Very sadly the fence forms a V for victory, I wasn't aware there was a winner...

Very well sen and done, Gilad.
Colours, composition, sharpness. And it tells so much about land, people, history, past, present.
I hope that the touch of sun represents that there's still Hope...

What could be this beach without these fences ? Very good shot whith a contrast between waves dynamism an the immobility of theses fences. Dynamism is life.

Excellent shot. Contradiction between the calmness of the sea and those rusty barb wires tells it all.

A very fine composition thanks to its simplicity. Just a set of horisontals and verticals and then you arrange all the verticals in a diagonal! I would give it a little more sharpness, but then I have a reputation for oversharpening.....
