XVarior Posted October 25, 2015 Share #1 Posted October 25, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) In one of his poems, turned into a famous song by Lebanese living legend Fairuz, Khalil Gibran asks the reader a series of questions, one of those questions was the following "Translated from arabic" Have you, like me, sat down at dusk between laden of vines and the clusters dangled down like clusters of gold. I've always imagined that scene and wanted to picture it. Yesterday, in my neighbour's backyard, I saw his vines being lit by a lat afternoon sun ray, I had minutes to grab the shot before light turned uninteresting. took a dozen, one or 2 worked for me. Here's one. M9. Elmarit 28 Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

Iduna Posted October 26, 2015 Share #2 Posted October 26, 2015 Rodrigue, I like your approach to that poetry with its dark glow. I think I would crop it a bit from above and then reduce the luminance of the orange object hanging into the frame from above. It is a bit distracting otherwise from the grapes in focus. It is a fascinating subject. Keep going ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted October 26, 2015 Share #3 Posted October 26, 2015 Very nice, Rodrigue.... With the superb IQ you have here, I think you could also re-frame them to the most essential part! They also remind me of Bacchus and Omar Khayam! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

david strachan Posted October 28, 2015 Share #6 Posted October 28, 2015 "A Jug of Wine, a Loaf of Bread--and Thou Beside me singing in the Wilderness--" ...another quote from Gibran which I like saying to my wife... What Iduna said. If cropping takes too much of the image away, a bit of practice cloning some leaves into the area will work well. I like the luscious feel of the picture. all best Dave S Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The poem is of an incredible depth, beauty and simplicity. Typical of Gibran. Have you read his opera Maestra The Prophet? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
