Description
If I had wings, I would have known what to do with them
Fly high above the people, watching them crowd the busy streets
Watching the sunset through the clouds, carried in the breeze
Glide through storms to where the sun always shines
Fly high, above my problems, until they would be no more than little dots

If I had wings, I would have known what to do with them
I would go Up, where I belong

Akko at sunset.. what a sight.
This is a cliff, where the local children love to climb to, and take a very high jump to the sea. It's a great location to shoot. You may also remember this one I took from there ---> [link]

I like the composition quite a lot. The space let on the left gives space for the look, and the silhouettes are spectacular. The tones are amazing. As often, you were at the right place at the right time. How long did you wait for this moment to happen ?

But what makes me a bit uncomfortable is the sweet look of the sea. It looks like you've added that aweful blur (soften) effect that is so popular for wedding photography. I assume it is because of a contrast increase but the fact that the oranges overly saturates quite ruins the image IMHO.

that looks absolutely fun! i love how it's all in silhouettes...there's definitely something very magical about silhouettes against a golden (sunset-induced) backdrop...and especially when said silhouettes are having fun

Jesus, I just spent several minutes trying to find what song the lyrics were from - but no, they weren't lyrics. Original work.

I am absurdly impressed. This is doubly beautiful in its display of your talent both as a writer and a photographer!

I have favorite pictures to look at while listening to certain songs. For this one, I listen to "Carry You Home" by James Blunt.

the orange glow on the sea is making feel something...

I hate it sometimes when I can't figure it out :/

I suddenly feel very old and very young at the same time

and that ocean just goes on forever ^^
