muito boa!! tem um ar surrealista, ou espiritual, parece que as pessoas caminham nas nubens, uma atmosfera bem especial criada pelo branco, pela luz.... branco e a cor que as pessoas usam tradicionalmente no brasil o dia de reveillon, o dia que voce tirou a foto....
incrivel como quebrando todas as regras de uma fotografia tecnicamente boa, voce chegou a um resultado esteticamente mas bonito, mas poetico, uma obra de arte! parabens, elena

Oi Adilson

Acho esta imagem bem interessante, com uma luz intensa e unificadora na qual se confonde o ceu e o mar para so deixar aparecer as personagens. Boa profondidade de campo e nitidez.

Esta legal ta ?

I like how it turned out, the overexposure gives the image surrealistic feeling.

The people are wading out, but the water appears no deeper. The overexposure is interesting - it reminds me of the scene in "Close Encounters" when people enter or exit the spaceship. Well seen.

Surexposé de façon trop prononcée pour n'être pas désiré (enfin j'espère), et l'effet est des plus mystérieux. On devrait peut-être dire que c'est une photo ratée, mais non, c'est une grande réussite! Bravo!

An interesting way to handle this beach scene and very effective. With the number of subjects and the activity, and the anchoring of the suggestion of water underfoot, the photo works well! Refreshing change of perspective!

Very unusual shot of the trivial subject. I like the idea very much! Very 'surrealistic' impression (I agree with Homerhomer). Two recommendations, though.
Tighter cropping would remove some of the pure white top.
Add some contrast (and maybe colour saturation) using curves in PS. Otherwise the picture does look overexposed and thus technically faulty.

Very dramatic and very different. The composition with all the blown out white works extremely well.

The only thing I regret is that the surfer and the boy next to him are coming in our direction, against the flow of the crowd. I would have preferred to see them all walking away, towards the harsh light. I'm pretty much sure that over there behind the light there's a extra terrestrial spaceship waiting to take them away to another world.

I like the fact they're leaving the Earth all in colours and almost naked. After all, when leaving this land we won't need to take anything with us. Ok..maybe a a photographic camera would be nice...
