Torre do Forte dos Reis Magos, em Natal-RN. Eu imagino que este garoto, no patamar desta torre, naquele momento, estivesse pensando sobre aventuras históricas, imaginando estar vendo galeões carregados de ouro, piratas, soldados, batalhas e canhões, como se ele pudesse o capitão do forte. Atualmente, este forte é um Museu.

Tower of Kinks Magicians' Fort, in Natal-RN. I imagine that this boy, in the landing of this tower, on that moment, he was thinking on historical adventures, imagining to be seeing galleons loaded of gold, pirates, soldiers, battles and cannons, as if he was able to the captain of the fort. Nowadays, this fort is a Museum.

Olá Consuelo,

magnífica imagem! Bem diferente ponto de vista. Acho que não tem nada pareceido por aqui. Belas cores e iluminação. Os telhados vermelhos deram um toque especial. A inclusão humana foi muito bem-vinda. Parabéns!
Abraço,
Carlos

Hello Consuelo.
Beautiful colors for this tower: blue, red, white, with the human figure completing the outwell.
Well done.
Kind regards.
Bobo.

Dear Consuelo,

your photo is interesting by his visual elements and completed with note's explication. The corner of Brazil that we don't know without you. Many thanks (also for your visit that is always honor and pleasure), friendly

Oi Consuelo,
Já ouvi falar desse forte. Pela pose o garoto está se achando o próprio herói. Um momento super interessante, amiga. Parabéns.
Abraços

Hi Consuelo,
Charming capture of this wonderful little structure. The white contrast nicely with the red tiled roofs and the vivid blue sky. Very clear crisp colors with exxcellent sharpness and details to this little beauty.
Regards, Tom

Oi Consuelo,
Fantástica esta imagem! O POV foi privilegiado, o branco da torre se destaca no meio dos telhados vermelhos e de quebra a gente vê os prédios da cidade no background.
A presença do menino deu realmente vida à foto, por mais redundante que pareça.
A luminosidade ficou excelente!
Parabéns!

Pitorescos detalhes nessa bem composta fotografia. O POV está muito bom para mostrá-la.

Abraço

Aqui está uma foto bonita com a torre bem enquadra pelos telhados circundantes. Gosto das cores e do céu carregado.

hi Consuelo

Very interesting to find this white tower with pointed corners and unpainted stair or door frame. Good pov to place the white tower among the red roofs as contrast but perhaps you can brighten up a little.

tfs, bill

olá Consuelo,

Hi Consuelo
I like your connecting the boy and his thoughts. All boys seem to think like that being heroes. Nice capture with good colors and sharpness

Salam Consuelo,
Very interesting castle n shot..I like the contrast of the colours here..the boy also gives good scale ..thanks for sharing.

All the best, Atousa

Consuelo bonjour.
J'aime cette photo très originale avec ce bâtiment blanc au milieu de maisons ordinaires. Il y a de quoi rêver au passé avec les capitaines un peu pirates qui en avaient fait leur demeure.
Belle maîtrise de la lumière. La présence du garçon est un plus appréciable.
Jacques

Ola CONSUELO,
A different photo,absolutely unusual with
architectural details I LIKE A LOT.
the colours are unusual and the human figure
a human tone to the whole scene.
Have a nice week end my dear Consuelo

Olá Consuelo,
una escena divertida con el muchacho en esta torre, pero con un magnífico grafismo creado por el contraste entre la arquitectura blanca y los tejados en primer plano, y los edificios altos y modernos de la ciudad en el fondo, con un cielo nublado espectacular.
Me gusta, es una foto con mucha fuerza.
Un abrazo,
Josep

Olá Consuelo
Gosto muito da ideia da criança perdida nos seus jogos e os seus sonhos. O enquadramento desta volta cercada de tectos é excelente. A luz é bonita.
Parabéns e abraço
Diane

Olà Consuelo,
Um photo bem interessante. Este torre branca surge muito bem no meio dos tectos vermelhos. Um bonita céu com nuaves rodandes e um fondo bem escolhido com estos elevades torres modernas.

ola consuelo

very nice elements you have caught in this frame: the white tower agains the reddish tiles of the roofs, the yellowish walls and the blue sky decorated by the cloud-works, and, of course, the exalting boy... :) just maybe a tad too dark in the foreground. i suspect, the ligth was actually luminous here, but the filter has rendered it almost grayish.

warm regards,
kristaps

Hi Consuelo,very nice idea to show this nice place,excellent quality of sharpenss and colours,my best compliments,Luciano

Bonjours,
jolie cette photo très originale , ce bâtiment blanc au milieu des maisons au toit rouge, bonne netteté, belle vue.

Amitiés Thomas

Hello Consuelo,
interesting picture. The silhouettes in the background contrasting the fortress set the time frame of the theme. Then the white tower surrounded by red roofs is imposant. The presence of the boy at the door is also a good sign for the today's character of this building complex. Well seen, well done!
Best whishes
Laszlo

Excellent timing with this photo. You've framed it beautifully with the historic fort in the foreground and the city in the back ground. The colors are perfect.

Kate

An original photo of an interesting architecture. There is a good effect with this white tower emerging among red roofs. The POV is well chosen and also the inclusion of the boy.
Ciao,
Donato
