amalsircar 2 Posted July 26, 2006 Very good composition in light and shade.Perfect exposure. A grim reminder. I am reminded of a saying of Dalai Lama,"If you want others to be happy,practice compassion. If you want to be happy,practice compassion," You are not alone in these difficult time. We are all with you,Pnina.SHALOM. Link to comment
pnital 36 Posted July 26, 2006 Amal, thanks for your nice citation from the wisdom of the DL. But Amal, there are human being that don't know what does it means compassion. This one is a grim reminder you are right, but it needs to be, the world has a short memory. Thanks you Amal, Shalom is what we need so much. Link to comment
amalsircar 2 Posted July 26, 2006 I entirely agree with you,Pnina. PRAYER IS A POTENT FORCE. Let us all pray for PEACE and total transformation of human consciousness . Link to comment
colin carron 58,916 Posted July 28, 2006 Knowing where this is gives the lines a strong symbolic meaning. The past leads us through the present and into the future. We cannot escape from the light and dark of the past or ignore it but we all help to shape the present and the future. Link to comment
cherlyn 1 Posted July 29, 2006 It's always a thin line of separation between war & peace, and many choose to walk this thin line carelessly that brings choas. Your picture is a reminder, yes, of past history that hurts . But lets hope for a better & brighter future. Link to comment
alexandra rauh 0 Posted July 29, 2006 I am glad You bring us here in all respects and thoughts.Very good photograph how the lines and shadows gets you involved. Link to comment
richard hans 0 Posted July 30, 2006 Very nice perspective & shadows play, great blance between inside & outside, well executed, Pnina!!! Best regards. Link to comment
blackdogstudio 1 Posted July 31, 2006 Pinna, it is nice how the architectual lines of the museum "the past" contrast with the line of people in the background "the present". The interplay of light and shadows is indeed rich, as is your composition and its' symbolism. Best wishes to you and your family. Regards, Kelvin. Link to comment
daily_photograph 0 Posted July 31, 2006 Most intense by this glimmering of light and the bunch of people at the vanishing point! Link to comment
pnital 36 Posted July 31, 2006 Thanks all of you, your comments have a great meaning for me. Link to comment
paula grenside 0 Posted August 1, 2006 The abstract the shadows shape and that your attentive eye caught is amazing, Pnina. Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted August 1, 2006 Graphically very, very interesting. Really a lot to explore here. I'd like to see this in B&W. Since the motif is the lines of shadow and light, B&W might enhance the impact. Link to comment
pnital 36 Posted August 1, 2006 Amal, Hanna, Colin,Cherlyn,Alix Richard, Kelvin, Daily, Jim, Paula and Chris. To read your thoughts is very interesting for me, as we are again standing in a cross road, so much connected to that past!Thank you all for reffering to that image. Chris, Here is a B/W conversion, do you think it is better?even I tried it before uploading the colored one, I have decided on the colored because of the people's colors at the end, ,they signify for me the colors of life!

aepelbacher 0 Posted August 1, 2006 I actually DO like the B&W better ... draws the focus to the strong lines. I can't say what I think any better than what Colin said so eloquently... Link to comment

kslonaker 0 Posted August 3, 2006 So much history is being destroyed by war! It hurts all of us and our future generations in so many ways. Thank goodness for the photographic records being made by so many people - photographers and non-photographers side by side. Interesting play of light and shadows - I prefer the b&w version, as well.
