Just another simple Sunday Brazilian life picture.
We went to the lake, the one where Isabel took her first sunset, there was this sort of open air restaurant with a band playing, and a lot of people dancing and eating and having fun.
I took this picture, because I was struck with the looks of the boy to his baby brother, but also because of the gaze of the woman. And of course the light was marvellous, the real golden hour.
I'm sorry for those big beer bottles, but they are a part of life as well. And I see some lime, so I guess the Caipirinha was also there.

A bite of reality Rinie. The way you handle the light gives kind of pictorial look to the photo. Life is a non stop train. Take care and enjoy present.

Mmm a Brazilian Sunday, that just sounds so appealing, and gues June must seem so long ago now, I know how you feel. Anyway, a fine dialy life shot.

I found in your note this sentence "it opens in a new window". Well, I guess this is just the feeling you see in the woman's eyes... She is looking very far away, in a different world. And also it could be a good summary of what I understand from the song... Very precious picture Rinie, full of warmth (and not only in the light) and life.

Very good compo with warm evening sunlights. Bravo

a great light for those soda drinker..
great colors and as alwaysss the same brand... terrible!!!

The light is amazing Rinie. Beautiful expressions and a real sense of place give the viewer a good feel for the evening you experienced.

Lovely light and a nice capture of the people and their expressions Rinie - really very nice - the collection of items spread out like a memory test - or a gallery of cultural product icons is really very nice too - it adds a really nice dimension to the picture and palces it in time very nicely. It all adds up beautifully!

best wishes Kev

Golden hour indeed, its certainly seems to be her golden hour with the kids alseep or resting and maybe time for her to catch her breath and think her own thoughts for a while. The light is so soothing.
I dont mind the beer bottles at all, but again the dreaded red can....I think I'll start a theme, the dreaded red can and its signs.

The woman's eyes express a lot!
The sunset light on the faces works terrific!
Very nice work, Rinie.
Greetings, Aleksei

ola, boa foto com um bom ar linda cor e muito nitida, parabens, manuel matos

Not only a very engaging candid portrait of this lovely family, Rinie, but the light here is just amazing, making their skin glow. Nice eye!

Wow, Rinie, what a nice way to look at an already beautiful shot with this lovely mellow music you gave us...
The golden light in your shot is a beautiful element to the inherent feeling we get from not only the boy and his baby brother but also from the woman and her sleeping child, so wonderfully lit, seated behind the beer bottles and the coke cans, I can sense the Brazilian atmosphere from it, full of warmth

Hi Rinnie.
Great.
A splendid scene, is a nice "dialy life" and technically is also good. The light and the colour are superb and all... all is good. I like very much.
Regards.

Hi Rinie, lovely work here! This family scene is so well captured and I love the ensemble of facial expressions and their interaction. The a bit toned downness of the colours and the beautifull light renders this scene serene-like. And thanx for the link to this lovely music track - it really forms a wonderful match with the pic.

So many interesting things in this image, Rinie. The background colors are very good for this image. The whole scene looks like 3D, and it has 3 laqyers - the FG elements, the subjects and the FG, and they all fit together very nicely. Very well done.

HI Rinie ,nice candid image with good skin tones ,great thoughtful expression on the ladies face,
Well done.
Dave.

it is a very nice image Rinie, very warm atmosphere - the light, the expression of the woman, kids on the side. lots of things in the frame, lots of colors - the picture seems chaotic at the first sight, but then the look of the woman 'calms down' the picture, nice work
