Brother, where art thou?, a photo from Corse, South

Photographer's Note

I am a man of constant sorrow.

I am a man of constant sorrow
I've seen trouble all my day.
I bid farewell to old Kentucky
The place where I was born and raised.
(The place where he was born and raised)

For six long years I've been in trouble
No pleasures here on earth I found
For in this world I'm bound to ramble
I have no friends to help me now.

[chorus] He has no friends to help him now

It's fare thee well my old lover
I never expect to see you again
For I'm bound to ride that northern railroad
Perhaps I'll die upon this train.

[chorus] Perhaps he'll die upon this train.

You can bury me in some deep valley
For many years where I may lay
Then you may learn to love another
While I am sleeping in my grave.

[chorus] While he is sleeping in his grave.

Maybe your friends think I'm just a stranger
My face you'll never see no more.
But there is one promise that is given
I'll meet you on God's golden shore.

[chorus] He'll meet you on God's golden shore.

ciao paolo, amazing image - just two colours plus the orange is so intensive that it is unbelievable; bit pitty for unsharp birds, but on the other hand it looks a bit unreal, so nice work;
have a nice day,
jerzy

Hi Paolo,
The composition is simple, yet very eye-catching. I love the silhoetted birds against the bright orange background. It has a great mood and nice effect. Very nice shot!

ciao!
exquisite work of art... a gallery item.

rbcy1974 (20758) 2005-09-07 4:44

Hi Paolo,
Very efective,
He sky colour is so beuatiful that even a picture of it with nothing ellse on it would prove a nice abstractlike photo.
The location of the birds in the picture is really effective.
Well done
Regards
Daniel

Paolo,
I think there is not so much to say /write here
Colors are god ( the different shades of orange)
Composition is very good with the two birds in the left corner
Very simple and good

Excellente couleurs avec les oiseaux en noir qui contraste avec ce magnifique teint orangé si chaud. Très bonne compostion.

dolin (7369) 2005-09-07 5:33

Hi Paolo.
Interesting dual colors composition.
The simplictiy of this shot is perfect.
Superb orange and good idea of framing... but it's a pity that the wings sticks the edge.
Good compo

C'est superbe, même si la netteté des deux oiseaux n'est pas parfaite.

jinju (14265) 2005-09-07 6:15

Pefect example of greatness through simplicity. The black on orange and the ultra minimalist and very graphic composition pack quite the visual punch. I wuld have cleaned up those pufs of clouds (?) behind the birds.

eleparc (24063) 2005-09-07 7:34

ciao paolo,

simplissimo ma bellissimo! complimenti per la idea...

sergecross (3438) 2005-09-07 9:05

Paolo, very interesting shot. The colors are very nice i like the shadows of the birds flying and the frame selected. The contrast and the brightness looks very well.
Thanks
Sergio

Hej Paulo,
Very simple, but wonderful picture. The silhouettes of the birds in the upper corner are great, esepcially here against the great warm colour. Very well done!
Hilsner,
Lars

Beuatyful by it's simplicity. Great job.

Gix (3565) 2005-09-08 8:33

Complimenti Paolo, questa è proprio 'forte'!
Anche il titolo, immagino, ma il mio povero inglese non mi permette di apprezzare tutto (?? 'art thou' o era 'are you' ??)
Sembra la copertina di un disco di musica classica...
Thanks for the outstanding image and for the note!
ciao, Giorgio

ChrisJ (171392) 2005-09-08 9:21

Bonjourno Paolo

I like the strong, simple, elegance, of this superb image. The graphism & monochromatic orange color, are marvellous. Bellisimo!

eco (112) 2005-09-08 18:24

Hi Paolo

beautifull color and compos - I like this idea and view too - very nice photo, good work, best regards rafal

erdna (5713) 2005-09-08 19:18

This is a very beautiful picture. This photo reminds me of the CD cover of the music album titled, "Sammy Davis Sings, Laurindo Almeida Plays". The color and the birds are very similar. Only on the album cover the bird is bigger. You can check it out, you made the cover!

Also, thank you for your comments on my photo,"Three Friends". They did look at me, smiled and kept on reading.

Hi Paolo!
The composition and colour here are absolutely perfect! To bad the birds are unsharp! Yet, this picture is magnificent. Lovely mood, very artistic. Very, very well done.

marieaude (1196) 2005-09-09 12:03

Hello Paolo,
Superbe cette photo qui sent la tranquilité et aussi un peu la solitude. Les couleurs sont belles et j'aime ces oiseaux qui plannent dans le ciel, comme une ombre. C'est tres reussi. Merci bien et à bientot

sun_web (665) 2005-09-09 21:05

Excellent! I guess that says it all! Nice job Paolo.

nerve (10231) 2005-09-10 4:44

Very original, i love this orange sky and your composition,,
so minimalistic yet beautiful, bravo Paolo!
ciao!

dominique (11414) 2005-09-11 7:33

Bien vu le cadrage et la photo sont originale , tres belle idée et jolie couleurs .

starbug (6924) 2005-09-16 6:52

Another one I love. So simple yet so expressive...this colour and minimalistic composition with the two birds creates such a strong reflexive mood. When you add the lyrics, it's a unity that will make you a little melancholic even on a sunny day. Beautiful one, thanks again for sharing!
best regards
Aleksamdra

jrleborgne (1554) 2005-11-24 10:54

Cadrage très original, sans parler du fond monocolor !

hello_ishan (1571) 2006-06-17 0:59

Hi Paolo,
Magnificent shot; nice orange background, keeping the birds on the top left is a great idea. Well done.
