Tears from Mother Nature #2, a photo from Guarda, North

Photographer's Note

Following my previous photo, i opened a theme and posted this one too. In my previous note i wrote:

"Everyday that goes by we, humans, keep doing very harm to Mother Nature...the constant threats we tend to keep building to her, are destroying the most precious treasure we have in our little planet...

We tend to keep a selfish atitude by not thinking of the coming generations and the world we are building to them...no need to be a very smart guy to stop, look around, think a bit and realise that we are destroying nature ;(

I惴 not sure about how does the tears from Mother Nature look like, but when i saw these water drops on that plant it gave me the sensation She was crying...crying a lot...and the worst thing: nobody wanted to listen her..."

*******
croped on the left, changed curves, resized and sharpened a bit. Finally runed Neatimage.

Very nice Marco and very sad together with your story. Th eblurred background really makes the litle branch stand out. Mother nature looks very fragile in this photo Marco.

Excelente foto. Esta planta esta a chorar, mas n緌 chora de tristeza. Chora de alegria pois esta a servir de modelo para uma bela composi誽o cheia de contraste e cor. Parabens Marco.

Beautiful macro, wonderful job!
I critiqued your other image as well and I think that they are both great. Well done!

Rain and tears are the same but in the sun you've got the perfect shoot.

Clochette (8076) 2004-02-09 17:11

Excellent, so sharp... this plant seems particularly shaped to retain the drops.
I also love your title.
A GREAT macro, congratulations.

Quand la macro se fait po廥ie c'est un r嶲al � tous les niveaux.
Tr鋊 bien, Marco.
When the macro one is made poetry it is a treat on all the levels. Very well, Marco.

I don't know what to say... this is beautiful, the reflection, the composition, all of it! Excellent work Marco!

mogens-j (56) 2004-02-09 17:53

What a great macro Marco and a clear reflection in the 懀ears� too. Very good job.

Les gouttes d'eau sup廨ieures qui d嶨ient les r銶les de l'apesanteur.
Tr鋊 bonne composition parfaitement cadr嶪.
Les gouttes font penser � des billes de cristal.

As gotas de 墔ua superiores que desafiam as regras apesanteur. Muito boa composi誽o perfeitamente enquadrada. As gotas fazem pensar � esfera de cristal.

Very good macro shot. Our Nikon is helping us a lot on this, huh? Anyway, your composition is also incredible. This one is of beautiful simple color of grren yet it does look stunning. THe water drop is also excellently portrayed. Good shot.

airin (172) 2004-02-10 3:14

Great makro, Marco. Droplets make the twig more interesting. Also the gray background is very well, we can fully focus on the plant. Well done!

cecile (4193) 2004-02-10 4:51

oui en effet, tr鋊 belle macro, beaucoup de puret� dans ce clich�

SofiaC (215) 2004-02-10 7:38

Mais uma excelente macro com 鏕timas cores e com promenores fant嫳ticos (gotas de 墔ua)!
Gosto muito. Parab幯s pelo excelente trabalho.

Lifely green leafs and tears (?).
Very nice shot and color nuances.
As a picture, I like it very much.

Very interesting note for a wonderful photograph. The colors and the close-up is just great here. Very original and well done photo. Good frame also.

PechePassion (483) 2004-02-10 14:59

Une photo que j'ai decouvert en regardant le theme !
Whaou impressionant le nombre de goutes qui sont pures sur ce bout de branches !
Bravo !
C'est quoi c'est ta voiture que l'on vois dans la goutte gauche ?

JorgeJacinto (1033) 2004-02-11 16:12

Frame e composi誽o
muito interessantes, a
macro est� no ponto !

dsidwell (9783) 2004-02-12 16:40

This shot is not so mythic as the previous one, but the shallow depth of field still conjures thoughts that go way beyond the frame of the photo.

JonnieWalking (318) 2004-02-20 20:08

Flawless.....
Grande foto mesmo.
Abra蔞.

great text/photo.

"nobody wanted to listen her..." - because people were brainwashed to forget about the starting line :
Nature is God`s perfect creation.
