[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
It's very surprising that many go to the Dead Sea serarching to improve their health or beauty. It seems that the great deal of salt in the water is good for some skin affections, and muds improve the smoothness of the skin.
The woman in the picture is taking off the mud on her skin, just on the jordan shore of the Dead Sea. The hazy atmosfere here, more than 600 meters below the sea level, and the water density, makes this world look irreal. The light is also different to any other place I ever saw before.

Good shot.
Great story.
..contrast between the black and white tones are superb, giving the photo a good effect.

Hola Jacobo!
Como se nota la densidad del agua en las ondulaciones de la superficie. Me gusta mucho, aunque creo que estaria mejor si no se viera la orilla.
Un saludo

Wonderful photo jose! Great composition, it has lot of drama.. the smoothness of the water plus the ripple effect to the silhoutte is just incredible.
Thanks for sharing.

Contraluz bien compuesto, con mucho peso en las ondas y el reflejo distorsionado de la mujer en ellas. Las chanclas las habría eliminado o las habría mostrado completamente.

Pon agua en un sitio raro o a una temperatura rara o con algún producto químico raro (eso sí, muy natural), y tendrás gente haciendo cola para curar sus males.

Enric.

Precioso contraluz
en el mar muerto :)

Hola Jose Jacobo,

Just saw you other pic (floating) as well, but I like this one much much more.
More mysterious. Also love the way you present it. Great!

Excellent image, Jose! I love the The shades and ripples diturbing the calm waters. And very good idea to include that piece of beach, compositionally.

cheers,
Cristian

Hi Jacobo,
I like the mood in this composition. Very natural and dramatic. The reflection of the sun in her hair is well define and distinct.
TFS,
Joel

Like the light
Would prefer a tigther crop. ALfred

hi! jose good obeservation... nice shot... great work.. well done.. thanks for sharing (",)

Un contraluz precioso, Jacobo, que envidia me da la modelo, esas aguas son una maravilla y esos reflejos ondulados, enhorabuena compañero.

Hola Jacobo.

Bella imagen, sobre todo por el reflejo y el color violaceo del agua.

Saude.
Jose Luis.

Nice Jacobo. Well composed and lovely colour. Good strong silhouette of the lady and well presented. TFS,
David

Many thanks for your comment on ‘Whorls’

Hola Jacobo
Si bien las fotos a oscuras, tienen cierto tinte melodramatico que no me gustan, debo decir, de que a pesar del intenso brillo posterior, has logrado captar una singular silueta y un detallado juego de ondas en el agua. Excelente !

off que suerte de tomar esta imagen, hubiera sido total si sólo apareciese el agua con la silueta entrecortada... en cualquier caso felicitaciones.

This is a stunning composition, with amazing textures and wonderful details. The angles of body, shore and refelction all work very well together

Hi Jose

Wonderful graphism & silhouettes of the bather. I like the concentric, circular rings, from the ripples. Tfs!

jacobo,
it is a very simple view but what makes it different is the body of water around the lady and the ring around her. good color.

i like the mood captured here jose :)
the light is very nice
well seen and composed photo :)

koh :D later

Hello Jacobo,
I like the composition with inclusion of diagonal shoreline!
Good definition and fine details, the concentric ripples is a fine element...
Strong atmosphere!
Greetings,
Pablo -
