The Mark Of Man (2)...

Yes you're right, and the pollution we don't see is even worse .. Beautiful dark B & W in this photo. Annierita

A very strong message, Pavan.. You are right when you say 'mindless' destruction. Ever so often, there are instances where a little effort can make a world of a difference. And yet, most of us find it difficult to do just that extra bit. Thanks for the reminder..

Elevation of the soul very strong to the evolution of our society: there are days where I just believe that the place where I live and chose is a little slice of Eden...

Super image

Very strong expression, Pavan! But so very true. I'd say mankind's treatment of mother earth has been sad enough to deserve such an expression. Describes the current situation very very aptly.

And I love the quote in your description.

Man is stupid but your shot is perfect

I dont understand !! What is it?

Very beautiful composition, but I agree with you such things must not happen... Have a nice day Pavan :)

Superb monochome. Very strong expression but so very true. Have a lovely day Pavan. Amicably Antoine.

all right!!!!

Very nice picture!

Like a mouth waiting to gobble us up. Excellent composition and treatment

Don't ask me how or why, but I took one look at this and knew it was Goa, Pavan. I have only been there once but it made such an impression.

And the destruction is everywhere. We talk about New Zealand being clean and green, but even here there is a huge impact of humans on the environment.

Heart breaking and poignant, both in this image and the quotes but mostly in your words which I share. My brother and I took a long arduous hike last year on Vancouver Island, up a 1200 foot mountain and its gorgeous winding forest trails... and in the midst of all of that verdant primal beauty, suddenly a pair of discarded men's briefs and a used condom. It made me sick. Such disrespect and cavalier attitude our collective species Mind seems to have for this miracle home called Earth.

this image really does speak..and it is amazing how horrifying destruction like this can take place :( ...its depressing really. Great compo though, I love the way the water looks silky and the black and white work really well too. it really does make for an excellent and striking image

A powerful presentation. And wonderful quotes. A matter of serious concern to all of us. These should not happen. I believe that we are all responsible to bring in a better change without loosing any more time. I share the views of Rick and Skyriani. :)

nice work framing this poignant scene..

Very nice black and white.

So charming and calming is the scenery in the distance as created by Nature; so disgusting and saddening is the foreground as polluted by Man!
The message couldn't be more powerful through your masterful work, Pavan!

not the most beautiful mark...great image!

Very good composition, geometrical, landscape and with an old lost element.

A wonderful image that reminds us that we must preserve nature. I regret that mankind is so stupid dear friend. What it does is kill the life ... Best regards, Adela

A factual documentary picture, its importance is evident.

Oh! I understan now !!!
:(

i appreciate your commentary

Oh how true!

And a very nice capture as well

Geez this image along with your words are strong and yell aloud its message, your last sentence is so dramatically true, not being able to walk with our eyes dreaming up ! Great post, thought-provoking and we are all concerned since it begins with a Kleenex abandonned on a beach, a cigarette on the street and so on. Thanks ! And the angle is excellent !

It's enough to break the heart of God!

A perfect shot for the quote Pavan... and beautifully presented in b&w.

Very good composition and framing. Bravo !!!
Have a nice day.

Great composition of the men's pollution !

Very interesting and for me very strange .. I had some photos and some words ( in Persian ) exactly about the same subject .
Your B&W is great .

How sad.

Right words and strong shot to go with... human beeings have still a lot of work to do to save our world...
