Snake, a photo from Beer Sheva, Southern

Photographer's Note

The lowest place on earth , Again. This time from a different angle. This snake pipes pours waters from an unknown source, maybe from the nearby hotels.
Real colors, almost no post processing.

A very nice composition from a very impressive environment.
Well done.

Nice grafic simple composition with soft focusing...The plants in the foreground really makes the shot...

Another great photo from this place Yitzhak. I recognized the plants with the salt and now I think the "snake" adds something to that picture. Perhaps I would consider editing out the plant in the lower left corner. But otherwise - great!

Gix (3565) 2004-08-30 13:15

A composition of strong inpact! And quick reflexes of the photographer, too.
Like aa abstract "japanese" composition.
Very well done!

Simpeles mas com uma composição muito agradável. Parabéns!

nwoehnl (122) 2004-08-30 13:36

Another beautiful piece, Yitzhak. The "snake" is a key graphical element for this shot, and delightfully curves behind the plants. Great work on yet another painterly compo from the Dead Sea.

This is a great shot, Yizhak, I think I like it better than the previous one you posted of the Dead Sea. The colour looks kind of eerie, and it definitely has an abstract feel to it. Your note of course adds to the meaning of the shot (didn't people used to swim in the Dead Sea? - do they still?).

Interesting and very artistic picture. Good colours ...

This is a beautifully ''cool'' shot, where the colours are muted and the ''snake pipe'' is mirrored by your border. I like the plant as well, which creates interest and breaks the colour tone of the photo.

cmartos (242) 2004-08-30 17:14

Your serie of the lowest place on earth is really amazing Yitzhak. This is a fine add to it, the composition is simple and strong, astonishing and beautiful soft tones, and the pipe adds mystery. Another very fine catch.

bfly (5775) 2004-08-30 18:01

I loved this series too Yitzhak..very good composition, abstract by itself, becomes real by your notes..again, I like it very much that they are not processed..beautiful..thanks :)

Nice composition. Everyting is almost perfect! Nice shot

orme (7219) 2004-08-31 2:45

A very artistic shot, Yitzhak. The plant in the foreground is just excellent. It is as if we can see the plant and its roots at the same time. Well framed.

ChrisJ (172466) 2004-08-31 4:21

Great composition. It looks like an abstract garden hose in a Salvadore Dali painting, with the water defying gravity & spraying up instead of down.

jhm (211738) 2004-08-31 5:42

Another beautiful and calm photo, Yitzhak, maybe a pity the pipes with dirty water for it lake, very nice angle, excellent, depth good job.

hdl (7035) 2004-08-31 6:14

It certainly has something of a snake; but I guess a real one cannot survive in that water... Really nice composition; the "snake" gives a certain movement to the environment; the colours are very natural salty ones. Indeed, maybee you could have erased the plant on the left.

cyril (2748) 2004-08-31 7:03

Looks like a surreal painting.
Love it.

Otra gran captura de este fascinante sitio Yitzhak.
Bellos tonos (y como bien aclaras sin modificar), excelente perspecticva y encuadre.
el detalle de las curvas de la tubería sobre la superficie es grandioso.

Another great capture of this fascinating site Yitzhak.
Beautiful tones (and as you clarify well without modifying), excellent perspective and frame.
The detail of the curves of the pipe on the surface is grandiose.

Again a surreal photo! The simplicty of the composition togheter with strangeness of the elements produce a very uncommon image.

albiback (8751) 2004-08-31 10:55

Very interesting graphic work. The line creates a movement which balances the composition and gives the direction of reading. Superb.

papagolf21 (152607) 2004-08-31 13:55

Le talent est bien présent.

again a nice image . I love it..
I saw some snakes like that in the rice fields in West bengal..I saw them after i had been walking through them.. a huge retrospective fear...

jhonny_blue (4956) 2004-09-01 4:22

Very interesting picture Avigur !
Congratulations

Georges (11185) 2004-09-01 6:42

Quel trés joli tableau au couleurs pastel.
Pour ma part un équilibre parfait sur cette image.
Du trés bon travail Yitzhak.
Felicitation.

Rockyboy (20598) 2004-09-02 15:21

Again a nice picture of the Dead sea with an elegant pipe in it. Very good composition!

Jeppe (18654) 2004-09-02 17:18

Truly a simple but wonderful shot - I like the reflections from the plants and the salty segments on them - The snake adds extra to the image and makes the image - Thanks Yitzhak.

summer89 (5422) 2004-09-03 3:28

Great photo, Yitzhak,

the composition it's very creative.

Very well done.

smael (2878) 2004-09-10 16:12

A very minimalistic image, and it's very interesting...
I'm just wondering what this actually is. And where are you? It's almost taken out of a fairytale with beautiful colors and a dreamlike feel to it...

Rhiannon (1728) 2004-09-16 3:48

Wow... this shot is excellent. The soft, pastel colours make it look like a painting. I love the composition.
This is impressive and very professional work.

RegisMinot (1543) 2004-09-26 8:30

It is impressive to see no boundary between water and sky, especially with this pastel colour. Excellent graphism !

ephemere33 (9743) 2004-10-14 18:24

très belle peinture bien mise en valeur...les couleurs tendres sont du plus bel effet...j'aime beaucoup les petits détails...tres frais ...bien vu et merci...amicalement BI

dkeus31 (27739) 2004-10-15 7:07

Nice simple and strong composition by this snake pipe and well chosen foreground.
