Photographer’s Note
Continuation of the series of the Carnival in Castelo de Vide.
I am sorry that the 'drunken gipsy grandma' is a bit out of focus; maybe it isn't so inappropriate considering his/her situation; or maybe if I had drunk some of her wine I would have done a better job.
Other views on the WS's: #8, #9.

Hola Jose
Nuevamente nos dejas apreciar la magnificencia y sobriedad de este evento, con las formas y expresiones de alegria en los personajes.
Me agrada como has enmarcado la mayor parte de la foto, con la cara de estos personajes, con nitidez , estilo y color. Buen trabajo, amigo

Hi Jose,
I really like the expressions you captured in their faces. Although a bit blurry, the depth of focus enables you to isolate the subjects from the background. Nice photo.

Hello José,
A very good double-portrait of the attractive young couple. Did either of them say anything, or did they just scrutinize the photographer and moved on? I like such slices of traditional life, in this case at Carnival time.
Warm regards,
Bulent

As we can't see the wheel chair but we feel that, very nice cool shot and the faces have appeal, TFS.

Hello Jose.
Wonderful shot! Full of energy and interest. The exposure is so sharp and the colours so natural. I like seeing the man's silly face so close to the camera, and above him this beautiful girl. It doesn't matter that he is slightly out of focus. You convey the spirit of this carnival very well.
Regards,
Andrew

Grande papelão que o tipo fez neste dia, José. Dá para perceber no WS1 que estava toda a gente focada nele. O WS2 está excelente com a cena lá atrás desfocada (será que foi com o photoshop ?). Esta é sem dúvida a mais indicada e divertida, apesar do desfoco nele. Ela ficou muito bem e gosto da perspectiva lá atrás. Grande colecção!
Um abraço,

Olá José,
Parece que a ocasião foi ótima para captar belos espécimens humanos. Não precisa se desculpar pelo foco, a gente compreende o seu "ponto de vista" ;-)
Gostei muito desta série carnavalesca e da maneira como você a apresentou, com o guided tour - facilita muito a navegação e ficou criativo.
Parabéns!

Olá José.
Acompanho com interesse e curiosidade esta tua "digressão" de carnaval.
Acho genial a ideia de capturar estas caras deforma e ângulos tão expressivos... foi pena não termo tido um solinho para puxar por elas...
Um abraço

Bonjour José
Un sujet intéressant et très humoristique; les expressions des personnages sont bie captées; l'homme ... heu la dame joue bien le jeu.
Pour la mise au point (focus), c'est difficile d'obtenir une grande profondeur de champ avec une courte distance et une grande ouverture de diaphragme.
Mais les têtes sont parfaitement nettes.
Amitiés.

Olá José,
nice close study of those two showing their fun. The little out of focus adds some dynamic here, makes it more with life as posing. I think you got this year a fine assortment of good carnival captures.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hola Jose.
El señor o sea la abuela la conozco de tus previos WS, la que esta muy linda es la joven que realmente parece una gitana de verdad con su cara pintada y su cabeza cubierta del paño de colores. Excelente composicion con muy buenos colores, nitidez y POV. Buen DOF.
Abrazos.
