About A crane on a sand bank. I felt this has a bit of a lonesome feel. Hence the 'The Wait'.
Maybe it could go as ....
All alone..thinking
All the good time we have had
On this very beach
Waiting for you...
Thanks for all suggestions and comments.

This suits the panorama format so very well. The panorama adds to the lonesome feeling of this. The long V shape of pointing to the crane is a wonderful compositional element. I think the expanse on the right adds to the mood of this. Great work.

well, i think it's a very good shot!
may be -with a big tele- it would be possible to catch more details... but i think that in this way you made a very nice pc, full of peace and beauty. like also the panoramic crop. bravo!

This looks amazing Ahmed and such an excellent decision to convert to monochromatic tones. The layout is simplistic but provides such a powerful impact. I love this so much, well done to you my dear friend. All the best....Ray

great image , well done in b/w..but I'd like to see it in colours
I like very much your work and the composition with the crane..but are you sure it's a crane and not a heron?

Hi Ahmed. Another in a long line of great images from you! I think I agree with Paul on this that there is just a bit too much space on the right side. Panning the camera just a tad to the left or just cropping a bit off the right would just add a bit of "balance" to the image. Having said that, these rules (rule of 1/3's) are meant to be broken in photography and everyone has a different opinion of what is most effective. Your crop works very well too (I like the panoramic view here) and when you start with a great photo, one can often make several crops out of the same image that are very appealing.

I wonder what the bird is waiting for! It seems if it was waiting for a fish to swim by, it should be looking in the other direction! hahaha.

Cheers from the arctic. Gary

Again a very nice geometry in beatifully balanced B&W tones of the light, Ahmed! A very decorative one! I was about to say that it needed more sharpness, but the I looked more carefully and realized that the crane is perfectly captured. Looking exactky it seems to pop out of the image, which makes it to a real protagonist in that empty space.

Best wishes,

Nick

This is a really good piece of b/w Ahmed, I think maybe putting the crane a little to the right may have worked as well (rule of thirds), but who knows rules are meant to be broken

Ahhhh...lovely herons, great shot, so simple and with so nice shape of the sand being into the water like a ...'knife' shape... one think only, I could say that will be better in color version and that because I just know that magical color that your sea has...anyway that is great photo and always I like wildlife's photos, very nice dear Ahmed.
Best regards!

Hi Ahmed,

I don't have enough time to comment on all of your images, but as I said, they are very inspiring to me.

Fortunatelly, beauty is something we hardly get tired of. I see this in your pictures, the scenery, the colors, the people. What a beautiful, special place you life in. Hope you and all people there live in peace, harmony, wisdom, just like the crane on this picture, and do your best efforts to keep it this way.

So, someday, who knows, I'll be able to do some pictures there too... :-)

My best,

José Azevedo
