A fun addition to your series from this beach, Antonio, with a most appealing color and light setting, and with the acrobatics performed by the folks making a good main subject. The reflection of their poses on the wet sand is nice, and the soft waves entering from the right complete this balanced composition.

I love this shot! the colors are incredible; the shadows reflection and the waves make a very dynamic capture. Did you use filter?
Well done

Bravo!!!!
Great picture.
The siluettes with the warming colors behind are fantastic.
The second person is even jumping but still very sharp.
Great picture.

Trade mark of your know how, Antonio, this is again in the serie a great work. To say why I like it would be too long to write, but looking at the compsition I can see a lot of evolutions : if you do it to share you show the beach in this angle. To reinforce Capoera and the way you show it with its reflection, you just keep a portrait format, and in both framing its a succès.
I do appreciate positively this picture;
Well done

Great idea and perfect realisation! I like the title too. The shadow / reflection in water / sand tells that we belong to nature. Colors are very effective too. Good work!

Jeppe (18654) 2004-12-27 16:26

Very wonderful and special image - amazing colours you got as well - The human statue and its reflecition make´s the shot perfect. Thanks Antonio.

Another good photo and again lovely weather:)
Nice colours, these black people are very interesting and this beach is cooool......
Great work, bravo!

huwwil (40) 2004-12-27 16:34

I think this is probably the most interesting silhouettes I have seen. The sunset??? and reflection is nice in itself but the couple add an extra dimension.

This is the most striking TE shot i've seen for a while.

ChristianS (2997) 2004-12-27 16:41

Excellent photo Antonio, the silhouettes their posture and reflections on the wet sand are stunning. The colours are fantastic. Well done!

This is a magical beach, Antonio, you made a fantastic composition here, with beutiful body motion, reflection and dramatic colors. Your title is great for this picture. Beautiful.

Preciosos colores y muy bonitos reflejos en la arena mojada. Hermosa foto.

Very beautiful subject taken at the good time. The color are marvellous.

hispic (9619) 2004-12-28 8:31

Excellent photo Antonio, you are really a magician of colour!
the purple colour reflected on the beach is really beautiful.
Superb work!

jhm (122366) 2004-12-28 10:54

What a artistic photo Antonio, the silhouette of the artist against the wonderful colours on the background, my compliments for this, Antonio.

commenta (1145) 2004-12-28 13:46

Não é bastante para ter um fotógrafo bom e o material: é necessário para ter também os equilibrists! (para rir) o canto amarelo alaranjado pequeno distracted meu olho e extrai-me de lado do assunto ou do plano premy que são as silhuetas; isto é devido ao contraste das cores complementares que são, aqui, roxa e do amarelo
Claude

Il ne suffit pas d'avoir un bon photographe et le matériel : faut-il avoir aussi les équilibristes ! (rire)
Le petit coin jaune orangé distrait mon œil et m'écarte du sujet ou du premier plan que sont les silhouettes ; ceci est dû au contraste des couleurs complémentaires que sont, ici, le violet et le jaune

Very, very nice done with this colours and also very "artistic" on the moment, nice seen, Antonio !

ChrisJ (86818) 2004-12-28 23:29

alford (3961) 2005-01-02 19:23

Beautiful colors and reflections, Antonio, it's similar to your previous beach post. Although the 2 are not synchronized, I still love the clarity and colors. The sun in the left and the small waves at right are wonderful additions in your photo! Great shot, and happy new year! rgds.

jrj (34841) 2005-01-03 7:03

Effectful almost graphical this study from the beach with the sensational colours.
Creative shooting Antonio

Hi Antonio, and my best wishes to you for 2005 !
Beautiful photo of the capoeira performance, the composition is great, shooting time just right and colors splendid, a real artist's work !

jp80 (8439) 2005-01-04 9:59

Very nice shot Antonio. Wonderful colors and shades, I love ! Sharpness is great, pity the sharpness filtre is a little bit too hard (we can see some white artefacts near the shapes). Nice one !

Pascal

Peppe (66) 2005-01-09 19:21

Very artistique.
The silhouettes, and the colours are magical however you did it.

Praetzer (1662) 2005-01-10 18:03

Very original - you made it to my favorites and I'm pretty selective. How did you get those colors? Natural or Photoshop?
Alfred

santosh (304) 2005-01-20 19:35

Very beautiful. The lighting is excellent. What kind of post processing have you used. I am sure we all can use a good tip :) Very well captured.

jrzufferey (7301) 2005-01-22 13:50

Magnifique composition, les couleurs sont également magnifiques, un petit regret, la jambe coupée dans la réflection. Amitié/jr

CoolDan (2516) 2005-03-05 16:12

Hé ils sont bon pour le Cirque du soleil...
C'est très bien réalisé autant par les sujets que par votre travail. Magnifique réflexion Antonio Bravo.

jbweasle (9373) 2005-07-17 8:03

Probably the most interesting silhouette I have seen on TE. This couple have made the most fabulous cojoined shape with arms and legs in all directions (and doubled in the reflection!) Wonderful background colours too.

caliane (610) 2005-08-09 19:27

Que foto linda, antonio! adorei as cores e o movimento!!! muito boa mesmo!! parabéns!!!!!!

Arthur_Seabra (0) 2005-08-19 11:04

Agora eu pude ver essa foto em melhor resolução! A mudança tênue dos tons de cor-de-rosa clarinho ao lilás passando por tons de alaranjado em constraste com a silhueta dos corpos... Ficou genial! Cada vez fico mais impressionado com a beleza das suas fotos!

Parabéns!!!
Arthur Seabra

Great shot. Wonderful colours and light. Nice scenery. Nino

hdl (6995) 2005-10-05 7:35

Hi Antonio, this is a great composition. The capoeira dancers/fighters contrast very good against that colourful sky. Excellent, original shot!

aralda (1240) 2005-11-06 5:23

Olá Antonio,
Nice colors and silhouettes, and great reflection in the water.
With the horizon line at two thirds of the image and the reflections in the water so powerful, the couple seems to push against the ground and the ground to support them as if they were gliding effortlessly on the surface of the water: almost as if they were skating on their hands, if that were possible.
Goes into my favorites.
Raluca

quillo (11840) 2005-11-22 8:11

Parabéns Antonio, tu foto me deja agradablemente sorprendido, que te voy a decir después de todos los comentarios que ya te han hecho, que es una foto para recrearse mirándola y disfrutar imaginando que algún día podré volver a visitar esas playas.

Un abrazo ........ Paco

Luciana (2269) 2005-11-22 11:02

It is performance with a very good sufficient color.
It is a visionary and good photograph.

didcreole (962) 2006-02-05 12:08

Incredible shot... The colors and the reflexion are amazing.
Well done Antonio.

david (3992) 2006-02-05 12:09

a very unique shot. nice colours, movement and fascinating silhouette. it's a shame you cut off the bottom of their reflection in the water. but this shot would have been difficult. good job getting such clean focus in low light.

nofer (3215) 2006-03-29 21:48

Tão boa como a "The capoeira"....
Incrível!!!!
Será que precisa dar os predicados? He... He... He...
