About Everyone has got its cross. I don't know how it say in English to suffering: in Spain it say "go with the cross above" (Ir con la cruz a cuestas). I have thought this is a image form it.
I hope you like the metaphor.
Kisses

very good picture..nice sepia!!!!


Richard Dakin   {K:12852} 2/22/2005
Interesting perspective and excellent toning. I think in English it is "Everyone has a cross to bear". This means everyone has their own troubles and problems, that they must take with them in their day to day lives. Dealing with such difficulties makes us who we are.


Don Loseke   {K:32500} 2/22/2005
I think here it is "Everyone has his own Cross to Bear" Very nice thought expressed with this photo. Don.


Maria José Barres   {K:11276} 2/22/2005
Dear Richard: Thanks very much for your explanation!
Kisses from Spain.


Robert Gaither   {K:29287} 2/22/2005
Yes I like it. I had the same thoughts about the cross with them both leaning. Excellent capture and photograph. I liked it.


Dubravko Grakalic   {K:24332} 2/22/2005
nice composition!


Chris Spracklen   {K:32552} 2/22/2005
Very nice image, Maria?
And, as for the title, I believe that "under the cross" is the safest place to be.
Kind regards, Chris


Dave Stacey   {K:115782} 2/22/2005
Very good depiction of the saying, Maria! I like the b/w presentation.
Dave.


Amit Saha   {K:3128} 2/22/2005

Thilo Bayer   {K:50301} 2/22/2005
hi maria,

I like your composing, especially in bw. the shifted horizon of the cross works well here and gives some additional tension.

nice work.

best wishes,

thilo

Hola! ottima foto maria! toto bien?


Claudio Rios   {K:2209} 2/22/2005
con la cruz a cuestas?
debo reconocer que la imagen me parecio super fuerte, casi te escribo con angustia, porque creo que si la persona hubiera tenido la cara amarga habria sido una foto espectacular pero solo eso... esa sonrisa, aunque amable, me da la sensacion de estar "acostumbrado" a llevar algo que nos deberia llevar a nosotros.
muy reflexivo?
en fin
me encantó la foto.
disculpa por no agregarte antes a mis favoritos, pero es que tuve que borrar uno para poder hacerlo...je
saludos

Chacun porte sa croix qu'on dit ici, mais je ne sais pas si c'est la même chose. Belle composition et beau noir et blanc, très!

ciao maria ...è una gran bella foto dalla tonalita' piacevole...composta in modo perfetto e ripresa da un punto bellissimo...complimenti amica cara..a presto e grazie


Antonia BauerleinSehnert   {K:30027} 2/22/2005
I like how the cross leans into the silken sky. He really contrasts with the mood of the cross and the sky, except for his leaning in the same direction, which I like. No phoney drama (like some of mine...lol). Cheers. Antonia


Tony Diana   {K:13396} 2/22/2005
Un saludo a Jose Luis


Khaled Mursi Hammoud   {K:52315} 2/22/2005

De tu parte!


Laura Spell   {K:24080} 2/22/2005
Some folks here call it the dark night or bearing your cross. Very dramatic image.


Jeff Cartwright   {K:52046} 2/22/2005
Excellent Portrait Photographic Capture...Maria!
Good Composition, and Tonal Colouring!!!
Jeff.

Yes..Maria... a true Metaphor...for those who Believe!!!
Jeff.


John H.   {K:2152} 2/22/2005
Excellent capture with much feeling! Nice work Maria.


Massimo Di Maggio   {K:-56725} 2/22/2005
We say the same in Italy! Just curious how different people in different places can use the same metaphor, this has only one meaning in my opinion? siamo tutti uguali (I think you understand Italian :) ). I like this photo and its implication! Grazie per il tuo commento in italiano, un bacio. Max


Kees and Carolyn    {K:15193} 2/22/2005
Beautiful image!

P LL   {K:30524} 2/23/2005
Hola Maria Jose,
I like very much this shot for the light but above of all because the inclination of the cross underlines the concept of the peace with all its weight.

David Wade   {K:2123} 2/23/2005
Powerful and iconic image very well taken, giving a real feeling of perspective. I'd be interested to know what the meaning of the writing on the rock is. Thanks for your comments.
David


Maria José Barres   {K:11276} 2/23/2005
Hi David:
The word in the rock is: PACO (it's the little name of Francisco) nothink very interesting with the shot.
Thanks for your kind comment!
Greetings.

Love the tones and composition great work Maria


Rajnish Duara   {K:1142} 2/24/2005
Great concept and execution!!
But somehow the person lacks some emotion in his face. I don't like the specs either.


Orazio Minnella   {K:46645} 2/24/2005
Nice scene and tones


Hesham Attalla   {K:921} 2/24/2005
Very clever composition Maria, congrats my friend.

wonderful shot, fantastic!! I love this shot, good!!! SMACK


Christian Barrette   {K:21125} 2/24/2005
El angulo, el marco vertical y el trato en ByN resultan en una foto muy potente. Ne se, por tanto, como leer la cara del protagonista, pero, de alli, me solicita la mente, me da a pensar.


José Vasconcelos Dias   {K:9189} 2/24/2005
Very good foto! Best regards


Chuck Freeman   {K:13300} 2/24/2005
Maria: Glad to see your new photos and your photo of yourself in your profile. In English we say: "Everyone will carry a Cross in this life." However, Jesus paid for our sins and ultimately carries our cross when we pass from this world.
Thi9s is a dynamic photo that you have and I can see your growth in photography in the months I have been acquainted with you.
Thanks for your comments to me.


Fadel J   {K:13587} 2/25/2005
Great composition and tones Maria, very beautiful image!

Maria,
in italian is the same!
Very good about and excellent image.I like iy very much.
Regards


Omar Rifaat   {K:10135} 2/27/2005
Interesting story told by this picture. But the man seems to be bearing his cross with trust in God! He doesn't look to stressed. There is also another saying of Christ, I think "My yoke is easy and my burden is light" meaning that if you have the right attitide even the greatest difficulties in life can be borne with dignity. So for me its a nice represetnation of this..
Regards,
Omar


NN     {K:26787} 2/27/2005
So true. Excellent compo & tones, Maria!

The angle shows the height where it captured, an image of a story, superb shot. Saeed


marinella pisano   {K:1169} 2/27/2005
beautiful photo, I like the tones and the contrast. and it's a touching metaphor, too.

Dr. Rafael Springmann   {K:86479} 2/28/2005
I saw that you put a new photo of yourself on your page. I like it very much. I also looked at the webpages that were not there last time I looked. Some photos seemed familiar, others were new for me, but I liked them all.
This one is especially good, because it expresses an idea via a photo. Well done, Maria!
Thank yoy for your very kind words about my "Sunset and champgne 2."
Shalom and Salutas,
Rafi


Ben Mok   {K:4084} 2/28/2005
