The Levitating Statue, a photo from Lisboa, South

Photographer's Note

Last friday I went for a walk around Lisboa's downtown.

The streets were completely criwded with tourists looking at the monuments and old houses, but something or someone to be more precise was getting a lot of attention: him!

Why? surelly not because he was just another living statue, but because he was "levitating" 50 cms above the ground with this strange pose.

Living statues are quite comon around large cities all over Europe and nornmally I do not pay them much attention but this guy was really a nice example of being different and better. Not only for the fact that he was "levitating" but also for the careful choice of clothing and body painting, just as you can see.

Olá Paulo,

Já tenho visto aqui no TE, algumas fotos de rua com este tema, mas esta foi muito bem realizada com focagem no homem estátua e dando um desfoque natural ao que está para lá do foco. Qualidade,pov e cor no ponto.Parabéns.

Cumprimentos,
Filipe

Olá Paulo!
Apareceu na televisão um dia destes:)! Bom retrato! Os olhos estão excelentes e gosto do enquadramento, com o fundo desfocado e aquela varanda cheia de xailes!
