These days are gone
quiet evenings being wrecked in her eyes
tears on the floor of an empty room
joy for that red kite against the sky
we’re so much older now
here we leave our shadows
delicate like wings of glass
be sure someone will envy us
for the time we managed to deserve
tomorrow would never had come
and now it’s today.
so my friend rest now
close your case
just your hand.
And sing with me.
This photo claims to partecipate to [link] "The End of a Story" contest. And tries to greet someone.
Great shot...I think that it's very simple and minimalistic (I hope that u understand my english) but it really transmit a lot of feelings... cold, lonelyness, even angry.... I like the colors and the frame, because they are not so clean as the image inself is and that contrast make the photo stronger. The beer or soda that is there, at the right side, make the shairs look more alone... I think that they are waiting for someone to sit on them... It's very hard for me to write all my feelings (the english is not my first language) but I hope that u understand what I wrote here.
"very simple and nice concept.
im here to congratulate on your first place in this contest.
your photograph tells a lot of things to me. firstly i have to say that sometimes less is more and i feel absolutely the same looking at this picture.
i donno whether you really shot that pic on film or not but the effect (or not) is quite impressive and it gives a nice atmosphere for the concept.
keep doing it
see you."

Congratulations of your first place, after seeing the other amazing photos this one evokes the strongest emotion within me.
Although you submitted this photo under "conceptual," I think there are many other choices that could have been made. This to me, almost seems like a portrait, not of people but of two lonely chairs. It's an abstract idea, but the emotions really brought out in this exposure match it. This piece shows some amazing thought, and genius in finding the right spot for this awesome photo. The placement of the camera, as well as it's angle and perspective, is very nice, this creativity adds so much. The noise also, is very well done, showing great skill with your camera.(which is what by the way)
This is a really nice photo, but I think that you could have done more with it. The can sticks out to me, and not in the best way. I think that it either has to go, or changed about in some different way, rotate it to see the brand, or change it's position. Ack, it's difficult imagining what it would be like with out it. It works, but I've got a feeling that you could get it to work better. I also think that a certain bulging lens, that would show more of the surroundings, and give an interesting perspective, could really add to the photo. I also think that some color could also add, although it's hard to say without being there, the blue of the chairs(I think they're blue) might really make it very cool contrast.
Overall, it's a wonderful piece of art, that's obviously been thought out. Great job with it man, you've done it well!
