Description
I went on a trip to the moon,to realize my dreams.
I followed the light,
Walking and driving all night.
The night was ending,
And the moon was fading.
I stopped and stared at my dream,
Evaporate into the beginning of tomorrow
I wish the moon was a little closer,
Just one night away.
But I guess my dreams are not real,
If it takes me only one night to achieve
I turned back,
Half way to the moon
Half way back to where i started,
Where the night began.
That's very little darkroom, but still... Two photos, blended together.
One of the banana moon, and the second of the kid staring at what was the setting sun.
I had a vision of him staring at the moon, and i made in come true in "Darkroom".
The shot was taken in the Jewish holiday of "Yom Kipur", that is actully a fast.
The streest are empty from cars, and only kids on bicycles roam the streets, to enjoy the empty roads.
I hope you can feel what i was going for.

Unbelievable! Makes me wish I was older so I could pretend I had memories of doing this and then wish I was a kid again.

The kid on his own with that lighting would have been an impressive photo, but the moon puts it over the top. Well done, as usual.

I just love this photograph. The title fits it very well and the moon was a very good choice. The sun instead of the moon wouldn't have the same meaning as with the moon. The story you wrote for it fits in well. I'm giving this a place in my favourites and a watch to my steadily growing list.

Nice work.. the addition of the moon was a great choice. Everything works well here! The long shadows and sense of depth, especially.

It's very good, I like the lighting and the idea; it looks so...so... I can't describe it, really, but it's very good. ^_*

It really reminds me of that movie E.T. But its got this really dark, almost creepy vibe to it. Very awesome shot.

I really enjoy this; the shadows give a fond quality to this. Also, it's as if everything came together at the exact right moment. Very, very beautiful and inspiring.

wonderful. A perfect light/shadow, b/w, the mistery light that really do not comes from the moon, the double image with the boy and almost reflection in the roud. The texture of the asphalt in the foreground. Wonderful.

And this too, Gilad, is like a shot from my dreams. I need to go to bed soon, so this will be the last comment I'm writing today. How fitting it is that I can end on this one. That's me right there -- just a boy with some dreams. I don't really care to talk composition here. Just the mood. You've captured it. For that, another
