Praca da Matriz Photo

Photographer’s Note

Paraty is a well-known city in Rio de Janeiro for its historical background. Gold coming from Minas Gerais used to get there, during the first wealthy centuries of the town. The fortresses to protect against the pirates are still there. This picture was taken while I was having lunch. The square in front is called "praça da Matriz", since the main church of the city - the one on the upper left - is there.

How homey! It's quite pleasant to be led outdoors to a quaint view. It's not just the doors that lead you to look at what's going on outside, it's also the dog! Great capture.

Foto de vida diária com boa dinâmica. Esta a descair um pouco para a esquerda mas acho que isso até ajuda porque acentua o movimento do miúdo.
O cão é determinante para nos fazer olhar para a rua.
Boa nota.

Daily life photo with goo dinamics. It's leaning a bit to the left but it helps to increase the feeling of movement of the kid.
The dog it's central in making us look outside.
Good note.

Incredible street shot. Well, I wouldn't call it a street shot, really, more like looking out onto the street and the things that are going on there. The frame of the doorway is a nice way to frame the whole image and I can spend hours looking outside at the goings on of people. Very well done!

Ce que j'aprecis surtout c'est la libertée d'interpretation que laisse entrevoir la scène... Et curieusement tout lemonde est occuper même le chien !!!!
