Cristo Redentor, a photo from Rio de Janeiro, Southeast

Photographer's Note

Dia cinzento, chuva fina e nuvens baixas. A imagem do Cristo Redentor dentro das nuvens mais parecia o Sermão da Montanha. Originalmente a foto foi feita a cores, mas para aumentar a dramaticidade, passei para sépia.

Grayish day, fine rain and low clouds. The image of Christ Redentor inside the clouds more seemed the Mountain Sermon. Originally the photo was made the colors, but to increase the dramatization, passed for sepia.

This image could hang as an altarpiece in a church. Very effective shot. Sepia tones work well. I would crop from the left to make the image square...

Essa foto parece que foi tirada ontem, já que o verão aqui no Rio está mais parecendo outono em São Paulo. A foto em sépia deu uma atmosfera antiga ao Cristo, que surge no meio das nuvens em um belo contraluz.

What a good photo. Good idea use sepia. The fog and the light are great. Mabey you can crop a little bit of the bottom. Well seen.

Muito boa esta visão do cristo. É muito mistica e adequada ao tema. Gosto da composição que está bem equilibrada.

Acho que preferia o ruido um pouco minimizado.

Magnificent photo! Very mysterious and talking at the same time. The time favored you. I find your very relevant title. Great shot!

Miss some notes, but like the sepia touch you have got here. Like the contrast between the light part up to the right and dark part down to left. Very symbolic with the statue of Christ standing there. Like the foggy feeling.

Very nice, mysterious looking. Mabey you can crop a little bit of the bottom, Very spooky.

A real gem here, Paulo.
You´ve chosen a place so known and you show us from a brand new perspective and not a cliché at all. I wish i could give you 100 points for this.
superbe in sepia.
Congratulations!

Needles to say I will definitely add this into my fav list. It is one of the most surreal pic in TE, Paulo had done a good job to capture that 'moment' of time at the right angle with right colour.

Thanks Paulo.

Very mysterious and moody. An unusual capture of a well captured place. The sepia works well. Great job.

kiwi (344) 2004-09-30 17:51

Amazing!! I would have been so proud to have taken this photo. I like the mood, the moment and the colourings.
