You shouldn't keep your tongue behind your teeth, be it forked or of any other shape, Visar! I wouldn't call it even "stuborn" but rather: Keeping and expressing the own views until perhaps sufficiently convincing arguments are given that cause a natural changing of mind. We just can't go for accepting some statement only to "preserve peace". There has to be statements, contra-statements, contra-contra-statements and so on, until some of them are accepted and some of them are rejected.
The usual "diplomatic" approach doesn't belong to "politeness". It belongs to lying. And there can be nothing against a sincere and direct exchange of true views. One thing is to fight mentally for or against some opinion, the other thing is to fight against the *carrier* of the opinion. That's a difference, isn't it?
In addition, keeping your tongue behind your teeth is also not very healthy. Some day the pressure might get too high, you know. ;-) Visar goes explosive and boom! And that was it, or what? ;-)
Just be direct. (I endure, I endure! ;-)) And seriously, how are we supposed to "discuss" if we keep our minds for ourselves? By direct wiring of brains? Can we stick the network cable into our minds? ;-)
Cheers!
Nick

i was struck by this shot of yours, and pretty much i tried to let you know about how i feel about it.
and regarding the 'looking' at images, i have to be thankful to you.
you know, much of interests are mutual- despite their importance or harmfulness, only after many days pass we realise much about the past that passes under our nose finding us in amazement like kids in disneyland or frustrated, or...--
anyways, many times i desperately try to keep my forkedtongue behind my teeth-- that's because i am very romantic on some personal belifes and stubbornly insit on them, and not many might endure.
so thank you,
v,

Hi Visar, and thanks a lot for this detailed comment! For some reason I didn't get any email notification of your messages. Perhaps the email server was down, who knows?
Anyway, I am so glad that you mentioned that smoke. It's elementary and of immense importance here, as the only element of action, of motion and also life, exactly as you said. It allows a hypothesis that there *are* people here, on this empty streets.
I am so glad that there still some guys out there, that really *look* at the images, instead of simply writing celebration messages that say more or less nothing! Thank you very very much!
Cheers!
Nick

so it is all about the light ey, isn't it?! light shaping it all, imposing excitement, peacefulness, strange shapes, boring faces, lovely people, hated machines--- and anything else; because light is mercyless- light shows it all at no will.
hmm- it all sounds trivial and cliche-- i just could not help it looking at this Nick.
the detail i like the most, apart for all the beautifully highlightened and deep contrasted areas, is the detail of smoke coming out of the chimney. it is such an essencial element, that stands brillantly in contrast with the ghost street and the ' no soul seen' in the neighbourhood. It makes the shot lively,
great.

Thanks a lot for the nice and detailed comment, Parehan. Indeed it was mainly that light that impressed me and that made me try to somehow get it right. A pity that the auto-scaling process of UF put those Moivre patterns there on the roof, and I hope it doesn't disturb so much. But it also shows that one should take a bit more work and downscale images to the maximum aceepted size.
Cheers!

Thank you very much, Dave! I am glad that you find the light as dramatic, as I did when I aws trying to capture it. It came out much better than I though it could ever do. I am only a bit disappointed since the automatic downscaling of UF produced those Moivre patterns on the roof. They are there on the original image, which makes me recognize that I must manually downscale the images before posting them.
All the best,
Nick

Real light does that always, Gustavo! The problem is only how to capture it (and not how to alter it in countless PS light-imitations.)
