the gathering

too abstract, or not enough for you?

Michael, I think you've used motion and blur to good effect here. To my mind, you have conveyed both a sense of anticipation and impermanence. What will happen next, is someone expected or unexpected arriving, how long will the gathering last and how quickly does time pass us by? These are all questions I find raised by your capture of the moment...all of course left unanswered, as it should be. Having said that, what really makes this soar, is your bearded gentleman...without him, and by him I mean beard, hat, glasses and countenance, as a central point of attention all is lost in the swirl of that dance we call life. He is our anchor and he is the anchor of this photograph. Well done. Regards, Doug.

doug said it all!

Understated. The movement and mood is very nice. I like to imagine their expressions and use fantasy to fill in. Real good work. Regards.

Well Michael, it is a long time from your Israel /Jerusalem visit..... I'm glad you enjoyed the visit (and food... ;-)) Nice to meet you and your traveling odisea...

 

Good atmospher of the wailing wall, here and in No Word forum.
