pretty in pink, a photo from Sao Paulo, Southeast

Photographer's Note

2nd shot of our Gay Pride Parade.
2,5 million people at Paulista Avenue.
A more democratic event than carnival, imo.
For more info on it, please take a look at this theme.

the picture has obvious flaws with regard to dof and therefore to pp. suggestions very much welcome.
thanks beforehand!
hehe could not imagine I would choose a title like this!!!

Eric, I´ll go smoothly.

Have fun and a great week for everyone!

Hola Isabel... Me encanta esta foto por la composición, por la luz, pero sobre todo por el gesto del él/ella, sumado al bullicio que se puede ver a su espalda. Es una foto llena de vida. Nuetro orgullo gay será el próximo día 1 de julio. Un beso madrileño.

Hola Isabele
La composicion esta muy buena, me gusta mucho la ubicacion del chico en el marco, las condiciones de luz son uin poco dificiles. Creo que a lo mejor reduciendo la luminosidad y los highlights en photoshop podrias arreglarlo un poco
Saludos
Daniel

I like your framing, with the Pinky Human stepping away from the background.

Hey, congrats on Brasil victory today over Australia! I enjoyed it a lot! I'm looking forward to many pictures of people partying!

hey! That's the same as my title ;-)Well, what else can you come up with? Pretty in pink really fits it best!
I don't know why, but SP is a week ahaed of other cities/countries.
Harsh light Isabel, but that is also a part of your style, I guess. There's so much to see, actully, it seems lkike they have reach the festival ground, as if there is a stage i the background, and a part of a traffic light on the left. I like the wheelchair in it as well.
Oh, I looked a bit better and what I thought was a traffic light, was the cap of the guy squeezed at the border of the frame, haha. I'm not sure, I would have cropped him out, I guess.

Hi Isabel,
good one from the Pride!
I somehow like this harsh light on the top - it makes pink on her eyes very soft!
;-D

Isabel,
A expressão do retratado já vale por tudo.
Talvez pela oportunidade do lance a foto tenha sofrido um pouco na fotometria, não?

Parabéns.

Paulo

I will always tolerate difference althought I don't consider this behaviour as "natural". Maybe more on the sexual disorder category, but that is another debate. Disturbing picture of a strange society. JS
