Discovery, a photo from Sal, Barlavento

Photographer's Note

Cape Verde Archipelago was discovered in the 15th century by the Portuguese... But there is still plenty to find out there...
------
Relax, spring has come...:-)

Note: Because there were some doubts about the sex of the person to the left, I decided to post two more photos in the workshop. Worth popping down as SHE was quite attractive...

Zabawne. Fajnie zarysowane sylwetki. Czuję gorący klimat.

Pozdrawiam ze śnieżnych Katowic.

LOL!
What is he discovering? The awakening of nature?

Very nice light surrounding the humorous atmosphere. And a superb observation presented with "sharp" lines :))
Well, spring is about to settle over my town, and I dread the awakening of nature here in Istanbul.
Cheers,
Deniz

Niesamowite !!!
Czy ja tutaj widze, to co mam widziec ?
Na co ten z lewej wskazuje, Jurek ??? ;)))))))))))
Kompozycja z tych afrykansko-sliczniusich plazowek.
Geometrycznie bardzo mi odpowiada.
Natomiast czy doszedles do tego, tam, jak sie fotografuje czarnoskorych, azeby nie "zatkac" szczegolow ? Chociaz tutaj to nie ma znaczenia, tutaj sie liczy kompozycja i sytuacja.
Pozdrawiam. Grazyna.

Hi Jerzy,
Tell me what this girl discovered at this level of the boy's pants! Am I right or am I seeing things I shouldn't?
Why did you cut part of his head? Every "lady" on TE will imagine a man's head is in his pants :o)
Let me utterly disagree... :))
Cheers
Marc

I really like your exposure treatment here Jerzy - the way the backlighting picks out the highlights and outlines their glistening bodies brings a lot of impact to the shot.
I can't help but think how great this could have been if you could have backed up and included their reflections on the wet sand, but probably hard to do while maintaining the spontaneity of the moment.
At the same time, I'd have preferred it if you hadn't clipped the top of his head.
Like I said though, you caught a great sense of spontaneity, and the light is working well for you.
Surely the bikini makes it obvious...

Cheers,
Ben

pelin (2789) 2008-03-24 4:15

haha, bardzo ciekawe ujecie i scenka sama w sobie interesujaca ;-)
Fantastycznie zlapany decisive moment :-)
Bardzo dobry kontrast.
Sylwetki postaci wygladaja naprawde imponujaco.
Dobra robota,
pozdrawiam~!

pastadog (13111) 2008-03-24 4:46

LOL :))) Right on time to capture this unique funny situation - and also well framed with the attractive borderline between sand and water... Very good work to obtain these silhouettes, providing the artistic impact... a great one, Jerzy, congratulations :) Daniel

Hi Jerzy!
Three great shots(with your workshops)but this original one is great and makes me laugh.Marc?s ws is nice too.
What a pity the this man`s head is cut.Wonderful silhouettes and great contrast with the beach.
Regards,Leo
I bought about 15 CD s there with wonderful music and I listen them often.at the moment:Tcheka,Nu Monda

bwiti (402) 2008-03-24 8:13

Elle est marrante celle-ci !
Je ne vois pas trop ce qui peut la faire rire comme cela, d'autant que le bonhomme ne semble pas humilié.. Ne serait-ce pas plutôt quelque chose sur son maillot ? En tout cas je suis assez d'accord avec le ws de MarcT, ton cadrage est je trouve un peu approximatif...
Félicitations pour ce petit moment de gaieté.... Saura t'on jamais pourquoi rigolait-elle ?

Clairedelune (4923) 2008-03-24 11:50

Lols! Your unique sense of humor! ;)))
The silhouettes are just perfect. We see what we need to see! ;) I wonder if it has not been better in a portrait mode with the reflections more complete, but since I wasn't there, I can't know if it was possible or not. Always easy to write about it, isn't it?!
I like the fact that she looks like she is saying something while the man seems to be silent.
Next step: don't just look. Touch! :) Ok, I'm out!
Claire

Hi Jerzy,
Beautiful silhouettes, despite the cut head.

mina i odleglosc wskazuja raczej na to, ze pani znalazla plamke na galotkach i zastanawia sie "czy to sie spierze?" :)
rewelka Jurek :)
pozdrawiam,

Hi Jerzy,

Great timing and humor in this shot. I like the silhouettes and tones in this photo. That big triangle on the beach is an extension of the little triangle and tells us what's about to happen. :)

Best regards,
Lamberto

luisafonso (862) 2008-03-25 2:06

What a catch my friend! It's an incredible scene and well photographed, I must add. Not only the time is essential, but the homogeneity of warm colors too. It's a great one.

polter (7239) 2008-03-25 8:01

:))))))))))))
Dooobre ;))) Boki zrywać. Nam. Bo z czego właściwie śmieje się ta dziewczyna ? Ładnie to tak ?
Kapitalnie złapane, cudnie w kadr wpisane i kojąco działające na jakiś taki mój minorowy nastrój okołoświąteczno-małowiosenny.
Znakomite. A mnie dodatkowo jak zawsze prawdziwa frajdę sprawia ciepła kolorystycznie tonacja - jak to u Ciebie.
Pozdrawiam serdecznie T.

Traczewska (14) 2008-03-25 13:33

Wspaniale zdjecie! Bardzo zabawne, choc wcale nie w tej rodzajowosci tkwi dla mnie sila - raczej symbolice.. niech zabrzmi idiotycznie - ciemnych cieni, Czarnego ladu, na tle zolci piasku, Sahary?? jak z teatru cieni, nie chinskiego a afrykanskiego, jak z mojego starego elementarza o murzynku Bambo co sobie raczo skakal.. tak to widze i wydaje mi sie, ze zdjecie jest o wiele powazniejsze niz na jakie wyglada.
Barvo!

MayaG (2415) 2008-03-26 7:11

I appreciate the humor of the moment, but what really thrills me is the fantastic graphism of this image - their beautiful ebony bodies against those awesome tones and shoreline of the background...just splendid, really!

coco (30439) 2008-03-26 13:10

Witaj Jerzy.

Funny moment and nice wotk with the composition and the light.

riclopes (35577) 2008-03-27 4:30

Joli contre jour, j'aime bien les ws aussi, qui racontent une histoire. Jolie prise.
Bonne journée
