I must be in a meloncoly mood, but this one struck me of all your incredible photos. And I have to say I love your portfolio. The mood here is excellent but what I love most is the sense of solitude from this shot. A private moment of reflection caught (at night of all things!). Excellent work here.

Hi fadel!
Thanx for the comment! after turning this image into black and white the man was over exposed so I selected him and reduced the light and brightness
Thank you for you constructive analysis :)

Hi Arwa,

6 is just 1/6 of a second. if you see 6'', that's 6 minutes.

Thilo im happy u liked it
And I have a confession to make
I have no idea what the shutter speed reading means HELP!
I was so embarrassed of asking before
When it says shutter : 6 what dose it mean?

Masya Allah ... a very nice dramatic image ... as if u can feel the mood ... i don't which is scarier looking a whitely dressed figure or photographing in the dark .. anyway .. very great image u got there Arwa ... well done ..

hi arwa,

sorry that I'm so late ;-)

thanks a lot for the credit... you don't need any support with your great pictures =)

the lighting in this picture is so special... I guess the actual shutter is not 5 mins as in this case one can't see the person so sharp ;-)

but the misty tones, the sea and the person being in harmony with nature is well captured and composed. really appreciate your efforts. wonderful outcome.

best wishes,

thilo

I don;t know what to say, it is just Superb. I was trying to find something to argue about, but everyting is superb.. Really really fantastic work. Is that smoke/mist you see in frond of the person?? It really gives it a feeling of silence, and a mysterios touch. I am suprised that the white clothes of the person didn;t get over-exposed with a shutter of 5 min. Really amazing work!
Greets,
Lex

arwa abdullah   {K:34415} 4/9/2005

Arwa! making dramatic shots ot transfering personal feelings about the simply moments of day life is realy hard. this shot exactly showes the photographer skill in controlling the light and using long shutter speed( 5 minutes )to expose all motions of light on the waves. so, it is a thoughtful done. tone has choosen helpful. framing enhance the feel. bravo arwa. continue good experiments.

Khaled Mursi Hammoud Khaled Mursi Hammoud   {K:54005} 4/8/2005
Very strong and moody capture Arwa.
The tones and the lighting adds drama to the pic.
How could the man stay still for a whole 5 minutes without moving :0)
Great work my friend,
Khaled.
