Hi Andre,

Wow, how original steps, i haven't seen any similar. There are tiles there? probably the portuguese influence here. Excellent shot, beautiful and interesting.

Warm regrads

Hello André!
I like this very much;my 2 favourite colours,blue and orange.
The stairs themselves are surprising too!
Just a pity about the background blurr due to the DOF:I can't see enough details of the girls ! ;-))
Best regards from Belgium,
Fred

Very well composed photo with the staircase leading the eye to two girls, so that the mind can capture the scale. I laso like the bright colours contrasting with the grey walls in the background.

Bonjour Andre,

On reconnait bien les couleurs du Brésil dans ces marches qui semblent grimper à l'infini vers les personnage qui semblent trouver très drôle la situation.

Amicalement

Hi Andre

I love the colourful yellow orange tiles in these steps. A superb upward pov with good sharpness & shallow dof with a sharp fg & soft focus bg. The women add scale & animate the scene. Obrigado!

Wonderful perspective of this original street stages, with the beautiful tiles chromaticism that give this beautiful staircase. The presence of the two girls above it gives a nice touch vital to the image.

Hello Andre,

I am enjoying your series on Selaron and his art. I like this second view of the stairs. It is a bit closer, and we can really enjoy the details of each step. It is great that there are people at the top of the first step. Your POV looking up, and also your framing, are very nice.

By the way, thanks for adding me as a favorite. :-) Please feel free to e-mail me with any NYC questions. Will it be your first visit here?

Bonjour Andre,
le Brésil nous offre assurément beaucoup de folklore et il est coloré, un peu à l'image du carnaval. Une vue en contre plongée qui aligne bien ces marches et leurs motifs variés.
Et au dessus des marches, un clin d'oeil au charme brésilien féminin.
Regards.
Daniel.

Hi Andre!

A celebration of colors! Love the vibrance of the colors and the brilliant lighting. Fantastic POV as the stairs are highlighted very much and the "Brasil 500 Anos" on the middle is just perfect, a perfect focal point for the image. The inclusion of the walkin ladies is very nice, it completes the image very well. Fantastic work, well composed and captured!

Best regards,
Matt

P.S.- I answered your query regarding the NYC photo.

Olá Andre,
en esta nueva toma de estas coloridas escaleras, has vuelto a captar la potencia cromática de sus azulejos, la variedad de sus vivos colores, y su buen grafismo.
Me gusta la perspectiva hacia arriba, donde aparecen las dos chicas y las casas al fondo, en una imagen dinámica y profunda.
La luz está perfecta, es un bello trabajo.
Um abraço,
Josep
