Samba Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

It's probably the Dominican music but those trees were dancing Samba. A beautiful beach.

Très rigolo ! bien sûr, on aurait préféré voir en entier l'arbre de premier plan, mais il n'y avait sûrement pas assez de recul.

Aymeric (553) 2005-02-04 10:47

J'aime beaucoup également. Mêmes remarques que Desman ;-)

Wow! Great! Simple subject, but surely effective! I like it. The lighting's ok...but what about a human subject in the frame? I know, i know...it was a decisive moment!

Keep up the good work.

Mario,
Very good of you to see this. Often a grey sky is a better background - especially as here where the main objects are lit.
Regards,
MvS

Jolie composition. Bien vu le cocotier central coupé, et le cadrage plein centre. Jolies couleurs, et beau dynamisme de la photo.

Bonjour Mario,
j'aime beaucoup l'ensemble dans le mouvement, le parallélisme des troncs.
l'angle est super, et malgré le 'bout' qui manque, je reste conquis.
tres joli

Extremely good composition, Mario... But, uhmmm I think they are dancing Bachata, but I´m not sure. Very well done.

Muy buena composicion, buenos colores, excelente foco y no es samba ni bachata, es merengue que bailan. Well done.

Bonjour Mario,
J'aime bien cette image tant dans sa composition que ses couleurs. On a l'impression d'être caressé par la brise. Merci.

Hi Mario, well I opened your gallery and got this fantastic shot with these beauties dancing on the beach, so I can't resist: amazing!!! and the colors - gorgeous, esp. in the lower half of the pic. Beautiful composition, fresh, also humorous. And thanks for the info, I didn't know that Dominican music is called Samba too. Thanks for sharing, and I'll definitely have to go back to see and enjoy more. Regards, Daniel

Whatever music they're dancing to, they are beckoning me to join them on the beach.

Great POV, well composed.

Great photo.

arindam (12) 2006-08-16 0:59

Wow. Tremendous frame. What can I say. Terrific

pboehringer (770) 2006-08-23 11:32

Good capture and framing of these two equaly curved palm trees. The title really suggests that they are dancing on the winds rhythm.
TFS, Peter

Hi Mario,
