[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Since the beginning of time till today, this orange teardrop falls into that vast ocean … the infinite cycle a *day* witnesses' everyday… like the infinite cycle of life!!!
Since we were born till today, how many times we thought we were totally sinking in that ocean of teardrops, how many times we struggled while swimming against the stream, how many total eclipses we faced... Until we finally dared to rise and shine, to unveil the light, to touch its rays… to smile again…
I simply say *Let the night sleep in its own darkness, and Let's turn on the light*….


Tech:

Saturated the colors, added more green, and yellow in the BG
Darkened more the FG
Shadow/highlights adjustment
Crop and resize

Wishing you all to be happy and don't forget to turn on the light!

Best regards and C/C are most welcome!

...and since we were born till today, how many times we thought that night is darker than really is and problems bigger than they really are...how many times we thought we are right, but in fact we were wrong all along...many times I guess. But the bottom line is...light always comes, new day is born and life becomes beautiful again. (to finish your note with my own words)

I like this sunset (the most beautiful sunset I have ever seen was in Egypt, on highway to Cairo...watching it from the car, tired after long day, but so happy). The dark silhouette (I have a feeling I might know who this is) set against the beautiful red sky is fantastic, the sun beam on the water and the splendid dark sea give a very nice composition. The position of the sun and the human figure in the frame is well chosen too. And the colours...pure magic.

Talk later and a big hug,

Stasa

dear Suzy,
actually there is no green sky on the earth...
but really you realize the green sky there easily.
this green back makes silhouettes red-ish like the horizontal sky,
and the ambience something sad and quiet.
(if the dark of the night is not black but red, we cannot sleep peacefully.
so I think green sky is limited in the rainbow.)
anyway the sea water must be tears of somebody as you noted,
and it must be the relief for everybody indeed.
thank you for your imaginative picture,
Akihisa

I couldn't wait longer to critique.

Shot shows us a great colours graduation from black red orange (always orange!) yellow and that green too is so wonderful in the sky.
Good effect of the hand capturing the sun.
Well in off center and perfect Lebanon Style.
Brava!
Quite an artistic image, I'm sure made by a lady from Lebanon and sure Slovenia people will like this artistic approach and overload you with compliments. (Unluckly for you Slovenia is a little country, :)
What more?
Ciao

Hi Suzy,

First, salutes for the deep thought in notes. Especially I like the statement : "Let the night sleep in its own darkness, and Let's turn on the light.."..

For the fantasy you portray here, this tonal ecstasy is a blessing. The action part is superb too, giving a feeling that the drop may now fall off to the ocean bed.

Yet, something holds together the dream and fantasy together.. that is life !! The real myth of life scores the music here..

A shot that excites !!
Shoot these dreams !!

Hi Suzy

I like the superb silhouettes & graphism, & the composition, with the outlined human figure appearing to be bouncing the su, as if it was a ball. Well seen!

Ciao Suzy



I am astonished by the beauty of these colors,
the sky seems unreal to me that this color
had not seen such beauty.
The silhouette is a show in the landscape and
your horizon is very attractive to my eyes!
From very good taste my friend ..
Colors and presentation are superb.
