Great moody shot David. It seems slightly underexposed, but I like it that way. I would have never guessed this was San Diego. Your note is very interesting, and really makes me think. In life we all have questions, but finding the answers is usually easier when you have friends and family (a support group) to help you find the answers. I feel sorry for this man. He probably has no one to help him with his questions, but I hope he finds the answers.

Hello David,

Very powerful picture, with a little bit of red against an ocean of gray tones. The clouds are out of this world, and so is the slightly moving person who seems to meditate while observing the horizon.

Good job - Izzet Keribar

You have made a grey day very thoughtful and it makes you feel the coldness of the day with surfers in the background with thier steamers on catching the waves and the man with his parker on.Yet he cannot afford any warm shoes to wear. Well Done Richard.

Lovely work with light in this one, David.
Excellent contrast across the middle part of the frame.
I like the depth created by having shot this man from the back and quite near, and wavy shapes in the sky, sea and the sandy beach.
Deep colour tones help the atmosphere and your note is painfully good!

beautiful scene... This light and colors are perfect to create an atmosphere of serenity.
Well seen and done

You've created mood here really expertly, David, with the overall blue tone and the darkness along the bottom and top of the frame. The man's pose is perfect, caught mid-step, gazing at the sea. Maybe this isn't one for the San Diego tourist board, but it's a great one for TE. Something to think about for today. Regards, Ken.

Full of emotion.
And your note goes beautifully with the photo.
Well done!

Salut David

On dirait une image biblique !
Le léger vignetage donne une force à cette image.
La lumière très douce conjuguée avec les tonalité bleues sont magnifiques. Très beau sujet avec cette homme à pieds nus qui regarde le large.
Le cadrage est parfait et c'est très bien composé.
Une image qui va dans mes favoris !

Hi David,
agree with athos99 in that this image seems straight out of the Bible or any other sacred book, to me too this guy looks like a monk on a solitary discovery tour, a very nice composition.
Have a nice day,
Jean-Yves

Hi David,
Superb imagery. The exposure level is just right, and all the elements are seen in partial or complete silhouette. The red clothing adds a nice touch of extra hue here. Even the seagull is well placed to balance the right side of the frame. A poignant shot with a fine note. You captured the moment so well.

A sensitive photo, David. Profound. Your note touches a chord somewhere. Beautiful color.

Clairedelune (4923) 2006-07-16 21:34

Hi David,
I am someone who have more questions then answers. More I live, more I find that answers tend to disappear! But no, I don't ask myself the two questions that is in your note because those are questions I still have an answer. Because I decided, out of necessity, that I wanted to have food on a regular basis and hopefully a roof over my head. But I pay the price for that: I work!
About your photo, I really like the moody atmosphere, the dark clouds. But especially that man walking bare feet with a walking stick. Very good colors, to my taste. A very beautiful photo David!
Claire

riclopes (35577) 2006-07-18 5:36

A strong image, enhanced by the excellent meaningful note, David! The atmosphere is almost surreal...with that dark stormy sky. Great shot and excellent capture of this homeless in foreground.
Very well done, once more. You deliever very original images!

Hi David
NIce composition with this man walking on the beach and the bird also. It's a little bit dark but the message is nice.
Well done

Hi David, An impressive shot of the mystic and unknown mood in this picture. It looks that the storm may be coming. There are more questions than answers to this bare foot person in the picture. Nice light contrasts and a well taken picture.

jbweasle (9393) 2006-08-06 11:20

Hello David, this is a very atmospheric picture with the wild sky and the man looking seachingly out to sea. I wonder whether he is really looking to the horizon or maybe searching for something inwardly.

This shot has got every thing...1001% Pure shot.
Well done.

banyanman (7797) 2006-08-21 9:25

What a wonderful image, David. Your deliberate under-exposure adds a lot of mood to this simple but well composed photograph. It has a sort of biblical feel to it. Your poignant note matches the mood of the photograph too. Cheers . . . David

Hi again David, another stunning photograph that supports the vision described in your Note. A classical composition and very nice observation to make the exposure while he has one foot off the ground - it adds vitality. Superb pastel shades and yet another wonderful sky. One very minor niggle is that there appear to be some artefacts and halo-ing around the man but certainly not enough to detract from the quality of the photograph. Another favourite. Stephen

sufi (9588) 2006-08-28 11:20

Hi David...
It's a wonderful photograph, composition and title... The colors, the light and the point of view are incredible... Also incredible ambience... Your note is beautiful too...
TFS...
Stay well..

Hi David,
A homeless is not a theme we'd expected from a La Jolla photo. Anyway, this could be in many other places. Your picture, with that dramatic weather and light, presents very well your idea as you wrote in the note.
A nice detail is that the lonely seagull seems to lead the lonely man.
Regards,
F

eleparc (24063) 2007-09-30 14:14

Hi david,
this photo is fantastic! i just discovered it while looking at your portfolio after your comment on a thread on points...;-)

The wave line coincides perfectly with the coat line in the back of this man. The light is also fantastic! did you do a lot of pp or just the reality? There is a lot more to this photo than just mets the eyes as you put it your note. This high score is well deserved!

Eric

great photo. rich in symbolism. a bird seems to lead the man. that adds an additional dimension.
