This is holy ground my friend

sasson haviv thank you :) in a way it just a wall but it holds the memory of the old temple... beyond it was the house of the ten commandments... history mixed with strong faith.. it is the most special for jewish people in the whole world

by the way nobody takes off his shoes :)

I like the play of symmetry that is created by man and the wall of substance and character.

Hi Haviv,another tradition shot ,traditions are always fine and nice to see and to learn about,
a minor critique to this shot if you allow me to say,the exposure of this shot should be calculated upon the black coats to show their details IMO,cause I see the two coats ,part of the caps of the two men, are completely burned.

sasson haviv thank you :) thanks for the critique.. my camera doesnt have high iso possibility(with no noise) so i prefer to loose some details but capture the moment..lately i find that i dont photograph in order to show for other photographers but rather for a larger group of people who look for mood and special images. of course if i had better iso possibility i will use it :) there should be an improved version coming in later but still no details...
critique is always welcomed :)
i used a 5d mark 2 yesterday and with that there shouldnt be any problems but its not mine :)

Excellent mood transferred immediately to the viewer. The reflections along with the space between them makes up of a strong image.

TERRIFIC my friend! so...how to call it.... mystical !
one minor comment though...why are the papers on the wall purple colored?they look a bit odd. Are they actually purple or is it my screen?

sasson haviv just uploaded an improved version that was waiting but didnt consider the paper.. i will look into that later... always problems with my screen so i need to look at another :)it does look okay on my screen and there is varieyty of colors like it should.. people put differnt color and this paper was wet :) i will check on another screen :)
thank you my friend! i like how nature helped here :)

An excellent shot that does capture both a tradition, and a mood. The movement, and reflections add that something extra and make it stand out. :) Congrats to you Sasson.My best, Phyllis

sasson haviv thank you phyllis:) one more image of the Jewish world.. this is the most important place in the worldfor the faith so i am happy i can show it

Wonderful Sasson. The black coats on the dark textures of the wall makes this so special - it creates an impression of fogginess along the upper edges of the coats and that makes this image stand out. Superb spacing in this composition, and yes, those reflections are so useful - never mind how the wind catches the coats !! You can rightly be proud of this. Andre

sasson haviv thank you my friend!!! nature helped me :)
i had a cnamce to use 5d mark 2 for an hour yesterday and all i can say is woooooow.
you may see an image soon :)
