Ilha Grande, a photo from Rio de Janeiro, Southeast

Photographer's Note

Here in the Enseada do Abraão (Abraao Cove) lives a nice village, Vila do Abraão which is the largest of the communities in all of Ilha Grande and the main gateway for tourism, assuming the role of “economic capital” of Ilha Grande. The cove has a very cropped environment, consisting of 14 beaches and 5 islets. The relief of the mountains is the striking point, with peaks of great slope and altitude with beautiful shapes, with Pico do Papagaio being the most curious. It has several water courses descending from the mountains and flowing into the beaches. Children can run through the streets without danger! No cars are allowed here, there are no bridges, ferries and roads.rnVehicles must be on the mainland in private parking lots.

Aqui na Enseada do Abraão (enseada do Abraao)vive um simpático povoado, Vila do Abraão que é a maior das comunidades de toda a Ilha Grande e a principal porta de entrada do turismo, assumindo o papel de “capital econômica” da Ilha Grande. A enseada possui seu entorno bastante recortada, sendo constituída de 14 praias e 5 ilhotas. O relevo das montanhas é o ponto marcante, apresentado picos de grande inclinação e altitude com belas formas, sendo o Pico do Papagaio a mais curiosa. Possui vários cursos de água descendo das montanhas e desaguando nas praias. As crianças podem correr pelas ruas sem perigo! Aqui não é permitida a entrada de automóveis, não existem pontes, balsas e estradas.rnOs veículos devem ficar no continente em estacionamentos particulares.

Hello Ricardo,
This is a very good composition with a nice distribution of boats on the shore and in the sea. One particularly attractive boat in the centre is a strong focal-point. The branches of two kinds of trees frame the upper side well. The colours and clarity of the photo are first class.
Regards,
Gert
PS The "mother" in my photo today really was a sculpture. ;-)

Hello Ricardo,

This looks like a very attractive setting, with a cool, tranquil bay, surrounded by protective hills. The overhanging branches add to the serenity of the scene.
You have composed the scene in an interesting way, using the upturned boat and the smaller boat, to guide us down to the water's edge, where the magnificent view spreads before us.

Take care,
Bev :-)

Hello Ricardo,
Magnificent and colourful picture of this wonderful coastline. I heard a lot of Ilha Grande.
The composition is excellent with the overhanging branches and with the different boats spread over the water.
The smaller boats on the foreground give more depth to the photo.
Best regards, Paul

Hello Ricardo,
Such a lovely and relaxing view of the calm water and the sailboats scattered about the composition. Also the smaller boats on land in the foreground are well included and everything is very nicely framed by the overhanging branches. The sunlight rendered the colour rich and appealing.
