Smooth, a photo from Beer Sheva, Southern

Photographer's Note

Sun sheds in a swimming beach, the Dead Sea.
Yes, it is possible to swim there. The water are very salty, and if you get some water in your eyes, it burns like hell. The felling of the water is oily, but it is fun.
I took the picture of this sheds, it came up so smooth, and strange, same as the whole place.

Very interesting, Yitzhak, it actually came out like a watercolor painting. Interesting graphical element added by the sheds on the seashore.

Today you shouldn't change the title ;-) Because I'm putting it into the song titles theme ("Smooth", from Carlos Santana's 1999 "Supernatural" album).

These images from the Dead Sea are wonderful, Yitzhak, as I noted before. They appear more like watercolor paintings than photographs, here with the wavy lines of the screens offering a bit of relief from the sun adding to the delight. It is about 38 degrees Celsius at the moment in California and I'm happy to be beneath a roof, so I can appreciate what relief these simple structures can offer to those who seek out the beach on a hot day. Oily water does not sound appealing to me, but I guess if it is wet, it will do the trick... ;-)

Very nice soft focusing giving the feeling of water colors painting...The composition is very pleasant too...Very well done Yitzhak!

Interesting softness & ambience in this image.

Good shot, Yitzhak. I like this 'waves' on 'waves' composition.
The soft colours are beautiful and the 'painting' feel of it works well.

It's quite hard to identify the shed on your shot. It looks like to a painting too.
Anyway, the colors are nice and well saturated.

Nice graphical image. The fact that the one in the right is different from the previous brakes the monotony that could have been created. The colors are also very interesting although there seems to be a "noisy" texture in the photo.

Wonderful catch Yitzhak! It looks like a painting and yes, quite strange ambience. The composition is definitely great, the whole is so well balanced in both positioned elements and colours. A great picture.
