Portugal People XII Photo

Photographer’s Note

I really agree that sunday is same day of rest, so that let us can make what in coming them to the mind, but with as much favour and creativity! I found this couple in the side river in the Port, relaxing to the sun... I found the scene simply fantastic. I wait that they enjoy as I...

Hi Joao, Great scene! I like the way they both have their things to do, and the connection between the two in the way her foot is on his chair. And the hankerchief on his head! Great, very well seen!
In my opinion the DOF could have been a bit shallower, but overall very nice.

Very nice Joao..
I like the complicity between those two people..
They really seem calm , peaceful.. Great shot.

Great example of the art of relaxing, even when the envolving atmosphere is not ideal - except for the spring sun in Portugal ...

Hey there Joao. I am really enjoying your people in Portugal series. Not the ideal place to relax but these two appear content

cheers

The light seems to be a bit harsh, and the background perhaps a little too cluttered, but I really like this photo. It is a great capture of a very interesting and peaceful moment. It tells me something about your country, and therefore it is right in the spirit of TE. Well done!

The handkerchief on his head is a funny element, and her foot up is a touching one.

Something fairly classic about an idle man doing something to please himself (reading) while the woman chooses to pass her time creating something

Nice scene...well seen. I like their "communicating" attitude ;-) and their place choice. Composition is good. Very funny.

Interesting scene. So real, so spontaneous. The colors are well seen. A real documentary.

EhEhEh!!! Fantastico... é aliás uma imagem que pertence ao meu (e penso que ao de todos nós - portugueses), não digo dia-a-dia, mas pelo menos ao imaginário... Bem captada esta. Parabens.

I like her bare foot, resting on his chair, I like the white hankerchief on his head, I like the concentrated expression they both have...:-))) Yes, you captured them in a great moment. I truly enjoy the sight! Excellent daily life shot!

olhe só, cada um está no seu mundo, mas ela está tão voltada para ele...
é interessante observar comO o homem mantém um certa severidade, seja na expressão fisionômica, seja na camisa que lhe aperta a garganta.
bonioto de ver, João!

A beautiful rather funny composition, a scene of the very original life, people in photograph it is a very good idea.
