Textures in " Vueltiao Hat "
----------------------------
This is a particular form to create a composition, perhaps unusual, perhaps striking, but with the essence of a great workmanship.

The vueltiao hat, typical of the savannas of Cordoba and Sucre, coastal regions of Colombia, known by strong heat waves, was transformed from a rustic peasant pledge to a national symbol of Colombia.

This type of hat, is made of a natural fiber, known as cane arrow that grows along the banks of rivers and marshes on the Atlantic coast of Colombia and which gives laps to weave.

The Vueltiao Hat has been designed for more than three hundred years and initially was only white, as craftsmen did not know the art of painting.

He appeared on the tribe, Zenú, and today is a true work of art, dyed-based mud and leaves bija. The vueltiao hat is a book representing animals, plants and narrate different types of activities: hunting, fishing, finance, religious scenes, etc..

The hats are the finest of 19, 21, 23, 25 and 27 laps. This nomenclature causes many mistakes, because people are unaware of the issue, believe that the figure is related to returns that give the raw material of the hat when, in fact refers to the number of pairs of fiber to be woven. Apparently, the more, thinner 'vueltiao'.

We do not know until you get the imagination of colombians continue in the head garment - national symbol.

In WAS place overall overview of this element, and from where he took the original.

Hello John

What an eyecatching thumbnail ! I was wondering what it could be before I opened it.
A very good idea, very unusual, for a very graphic result.
The light on the hat is well managed and enhances the hues. The patterns are quiet hypnotic !
Very well done.

Regards,
Karine

Hi John,

¿Qué tal amigo? Yo ando un poco mareado, uhjdfbriuesfnrefszmd intentado contar las vueltas del sombrero...............
Qué gran idea John, te felicito!! Me gusta el cambio artístico que estás dando a tu galería de fotos. Son trabajos distintos y arriesgados, con toques de innovación y gran creación artística.

Aparte de la excelente nota informativa, la fotografía está genial,con una aproximación de campo que nos muestra los detalles de las fibras,etc..
Fuerte efecto gráfico y cromático e impecable presentación!

Hi John,
It took some time before I understood the photo, but then I saw it and read the informative note as well. A very original photo from a great POV. The patterns on the hat are beautiful and especially the circles work very well in the composition. Very well seen and captured. Thanks for sharing!
Regards,
Lars

Hola John
Estupendo trabajo de composición para tu mini-serie sobre los sombreros. La idea es muy original e interesante.
Tu foto principal tiene un grafismo perfecto.
Bravo!
Un saludo muy cordial,
Marianne

Hi John

Very nice picture

Hello John,

It took me a few seconds to comprehend what this was - very creative! It reminds me somewhat of the rings around Saturn. There is very good detail here concerning the woven texture and pattern. I really admire people who are able to craft such intricate pieces as this; it is a work of art in many respects. This photo also has the cultural significance attached to it as well which is very good to have, backing the photo up. The black frame was surely the perfect choice; it contrasts wonderfully with the concentric circle pattern. TFS!

This frame choice makes it really psychedelic and graphic. That's well seen and inspired.
Good eye.

Hola John.

Me gusta mucho como bien dice Jordi este efecto hipnótico si señor. Marea algo, pero es de lo más original.

Un saludo, OScar

Hola John!

Me da un poco de vertigo esta vista tan impresionante!!! Parece como una escalera, que llega hasta el infinito y es "solo" un sombrero! Muy creativa y artistica idea, perfecta realizacion! ahora, yo me quito el sombrero! Felicidades!

Un saludo,
Hercules

Hola John, original y excelente, en pequeño me ha parecido una concha de caracol por las vueltas y la forma, es un muy buen trabajo! Felicidades. Carme.

Hola John,
La foto en pequeño me parecía una espiral de una escalera o algo así, la sensación fue casi de vértigo y envolvente. Ya veo que es un sombrero en el que se aprecian muy bien los detalles y tiene un encuadre muy singular.
Bien hecho
Cordialmente
Charo

Hi John,
I thought, this was a detail from an architecture, maybe the inside of a coupola :)) Very nice graphism, and almost a B&W taste in it. I like it a lot.
Cheers,
Deniz

Hola John,
Muy ingeniosa tu foto. Me llamo mucho la atencion desde el thumbnail.
Buen foco y encuadre.

Hola John,

Lo que más me gusta de esta fotografía son los efectos que se crean al mirarla, ya desde la miniatura te hace pensar que puede ser, después al abrirla se puede observar que de una fotografía sencilla has logrado un trabajo lleno de fuerza y gran impacto visual, el pequeño marco blanco parece doblarse a los lados jugando con la sincronía visual, un perfecto encuadre, no es una muestra abierta del mundo pero si una interesante forma de mostrar un detalle curioso.

Un abrazo
José
