Like many other nations, or maybe a little bit more, Brazilian people are crazy for soccer... and don´t call it "soccer", since its original name is "FOOTBALL", FUTEBOL in portuguese. (I can´t understand why the americans call football the game they play using the hands! ;-D )
Well, Football, futebol, soccer or calcio, this beloved game is a passion even on the beach, where I found interesting to register this silhouettes playing at the late afternoon.
Regards,
Zeca

Well done! A very effective silhouette.

Mais uma ótima foto,Zeca!
O mar,os reflexos solares na água, bem como a silhueta dos anônimos jogadores fizeram uma bonita composição!
Caioba Beach, esta eu não vou mais me esquecer, se voltar ao Paraná! :-))
Um abraço,
Nivaldo.

Hi Jose,

What I like here is your light. The composition is great with those two shadows playing. Nice catch. I enjoy it.

Thanks,
Christian

Hola Jose. Not just sillouettes but they are also playing footbal. Good capture of this scene. The water behind the players seem very natural. Good use of light and contrast to give us this excellent work.

Roberto

Nice silhouettes.
TFS,

um daqueles momentos de cinema, Zeca. Bonito pra caramba e os tons sóbrios, esse verde acinzentado caiu muito bem.

Meu irmão mora em Curitiba e quando posso vou visitá-lo. Tenho ensaiado conhecer o litoral paranaense sem muito sucesso, é verdade, mas na primeira oportunidade, é para lá que pretendo ir Alguma sugestão? Vc está na capital tb?

Olá Zeca!
Bonita imagem homenagenando o verdadeiro futebol! Esse americanos são muito esquisitos!
Gostei da cor da água e das silhuetas! Acho que o sonho desses garotos é um dia jogar no Galo! hehe
Parabéns e Abraço!

Olá Zeca

Esta foto está excelente. A composição, cores, silhuetas, tudo me agrada...ótimo trabalho, meus parabéns!

Grande abraço,
Vera.

Hello Zeca,

As a passionate follower of football (soccer) and an ardent fan of Brazilian football, I will explain the logic of why the American game played with the hands, and only occasionally touched by a foot, is called "fooball."

The reasoning is the same for why we drive on parkways, why we park our cars in driveways. Does this not make sense?

About the photo, it is an excellent shot into th sun. A silhouette is usually more interesting than one shot with the sun behind you, illumaiting the subject.

Regards,

Bulent

Green similey tomorrow.

Ola Zeca!
You like the sea and we like your sea photos. This one is very impressive for the reflections from the sun. The shot is very creative.
Anton

Belas silhuetas e o destaquefica para esse mar dourado. Conseguiu uma ótima sul de fundo e sem perda dos detalhes.

Belo trabalho artístico.

Abraço

Hello Jose!
Great done and very interesting scene with great back light!
I like gold tones and black ball in the middle if water!
Very good done!
Best regards!

Zeca, a cada quatro anos eu sofro! Mais uma vez eu me preparo para o hexa e la vem a decepcao e a ressaca. Os caras ainda nao entenderam que jogar pelota an areia e diferente do que jogar em campeonato mundial. Brincam, nao levam ao serio ate que aparece um timinho la da Franca e bota um gol atras do outro. Ate parece que a gente e fregues deles. O Zidane ate fez piadinha ...
Viajei e desabafei!
Imagem ta excelente, como sempre! Tambem, com uma lente Tamron 70-300, nao ha quem nao consiga tirar foto de letra.
Abracos, Peter

Another fabulous backlit summer shot! I love the action here in addition to the wonderful colours you offer us again

I really like this Jose, the shimmering light, the silhouettes frozen in action, and the placement of the subjects all work for my liking. The reason americans play football with their hands is, didn't you know? the hand is the new foot! And the World Series IS a worldwide competition, Canadian teams are included after all :-)

Ola Jose
I really love this...the shimmering light on the lapping waves, the silhouettes, and the placement of the subjects & the ball. The contrasts are excellent & the picture glows...like the glow as it follows the wave & beach interface just beyond the boys

Hej Jose,
Great capture of these people playing football on the beach. The light is great and I like very much that me only see their silhouettes. The reflection of the sunlight in the waves in the background is nice too. Well done and thanks for sharing!

Oi Zeca,

Linda esta foto, a luz e simplesmente maravilhosa! Otimo timing com a bola no alto e as ondas se arrebentando ao fudo. Uma das minhas favoritas na sua galeria.

Abracos,

Flavia

Hi Zeca. Over here it is rugby that the nation is passionate about, especially as it world cup year, and that gets called football occasionally as well. Great photo. I love the action and energy. Well composed and timed. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Paul.

Hello Jose

Well done!
