[Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe
This is one of the many outdoor sculptures made of granite found in Alpalhão, a village of the Nisa district (concelho in Portuguese). One of the main economic activities of the area are granite quarries, so it makes sense that they organise a art and music festival every two years focusing in the use of stone in decoration and art. As far as I know, these sculptures come from those festivals.

I don't know the name of the author of the sculpture, but someone told me that it represents a female wolf.

WS's: Alternative POV's [1, 2].

Location (latitude, longitude): 39.40925,-7.62314

Oi José

interessante escultura e a nota que vc escreveu elucida bem a razão delas...
A composição em todas as fotos estão bem estruturadas, é marcante como a foto fica completamente diferente de diversos pontos de vista...

São todas as três fotos muito boas. A do WS2 está excelente por nos mostrar o contexto da localização.
Parece um lobo? Talvez. E do sexo feminino? Certamente. Pela postura, pareceu-me um carneiro quando vi a foto na miniatura. Para um lobo, acho que teria sido mais interessante ver a cabeça levantada.

hi Jose

Such interesting sculpture in stone. Somehow the curves of statue and the top of hill go well together in your pov here. Purely art, not spiritual in nature?

Bonjour Jose,
j'aime beaucoup le contraste de lumières et de couleurs entre ce ciel d'un bleu très pur et ce roc blanc.
J'aurais cadré un peu plus haut pour avoir un rien plus de ciel.
Regards.

Bom dia Jose:)

Very interesting sculpture, looks so original and modern. It looks like abandoned one on the empty planet:)
Superb colours of the sky and really great, so clear white. Very well shown. Good job!

Greetings,
Mikeo

Namasthe Jose,

Interesting artwork...
Looks a modern design in natural atmosphere...
Fine presentation.

You know I'm going to like this one best as it is off-centred and has space in front of the way it is facing. The other one placed like this is too busy in the background. I think the plain sky as background from the low POV works the best. I like your dedication investigating all the compositional possibilites. Granite can't be an easy stone to sculpt either. Btw pets are not allowed on TE ;D
Well done
Kath

Hi Jose,
The blue plain background is just perfect to showcase the sculpture. I like the texture of the granite in the foreground leading towards the sculpture. Well captured and composed with very good image quality. Well done! tfs
Cheers,
Renier

Olá José,
achei essa versão mais interessante dessa curiosa escultura. A textura da pedra, nitidez e cores ficaram ótimas, o polarizador funcionou a mil aqui!
Parabéns e Abraço!

Hi Jose,
The sculpture looks superb with the blue background.
Every part of art is impressed me , this one is also.
Best regards,
Zeynep

Olá José,
I like this presentation of the granite against the blue sky. Well placed, good exposure, sharpness and on the sculpture and rock below great textures. Looks more like a horse I think?

Olá José!
Não vou muito para o distrito de Portalegre, nunca tinha visto estas esculturas. Acho que é uma excelente ideia e dão muita graça à terra. Gosto mais desta, o pov está muito bom e mostra bem a escultura. Gosto das cores e da textura da pedra. Boa ideia terem-nas colocado em cima das pedras!

Acho que esta é a melhor escolha das três, mas qualquer uma seria boa para mostrar esta curiosa escultura.
Um abraço,

Hi Jose,
I learned something new today, thanks for the shot and the note. Quite fascinating to see these statues really. The blue sky as the backdrop works really well.
I like it a lot,

Hi José,
What a nice sculpture and you captured it really well. It stands out nicely against the blue sky. Good rather low POV with the stone in the foreground leading the eye nicely into the photo. Good placement of the sculpture on the right hand side too. Thanks for sharing!

Lars

Hola Jose.
Una foto sencilla de una escultura muy interesante. Buenos detalles y definición. Tu POV es bueno y los colores son magníficos.
Buen trabajo.
Un fuerte abrazo.

the blue BG gives the standout to this fine work of art! looks like a female coyote to me, jose.

Une image assez extraodinaire. Les textures sont extras et cet animal tout blanc devant ce ciel si bleu est un regal. Tres tres bien vu.

Oi José,
Interessante esta escultura em granito faz um belo contraste com o céu azul ,das três fotos foi a que gostei mais , bonita a textura da pedra em primeiro plano , bom enquadramento da foto , parabéns!!!
Um abraço Gonçalo

Made form one single piece,I think.The details are good And more,the blue sky in background makes a good contrast

José,
Ajuste de cores excelente para mostrar a tomada pelo bom ponto escolhido. Excelente trabalho.

Abraço

Olá José,
Muito interessante esta escultura - estariam Rômulo e Remo dentro do cesto, sob a guarda da loba? ;-) Então, foi aí que ela escondeu os gêmeos!
Brincadeiras à parte, esta imagem está excelente, nitidez e DOF fantásticos! Que céu lindo... invejável!
Os WS também estão ótimos!
Parabéns!

Bonjour mon cher José
C'est le meilleur point de vue sur cette louve prise en contrebas.
Je note une bonne luminosité environante agrémentée par l'utilisation du PL qui donne un ciel bien saturé.
Amitiés.

Hi José,

I am back again for a moment .. hopefully things will stabilize in a month or so ..
This blue sky of yours really amplifies the sculpture .. tremendous .. take care, John

John

Ola Jose
Para alem de bonita a escultura foi bem capturada com cores intensar e luz bem controlada.
Excelentes detalhes e uma boa nota explicativa
Um abraço Amigo

Hola Jose:

Una escultura curiosa, original y artistica. Me gusta mucho como la tonalidad destaca altamente frente al fondo del azul, con una buena seleccion de contraste, brillo y adecuado manejo de la luz.

Seria muy interesante conocer este elemento. Gracias por compartir

linda escultura, o céu azul contrastando com o branco da obra é sempre uma beleza de se ver. Gostei deste pov e da nitidez que está muito boa também.

abraços

jorge

J'aime bien la composition de la photo et l'art de la sculpture. Le blanc de la "louve" posée sur le granite brut, contre le ciel si bleu, donnent un très bel effet!
J'aime aussi les WS. Le 1 aurait fait un très bonne photo principale. Quant au 2, il est très intéressant, car les 2 1ères photos donnent l'impression d'une sculpture perdue en plein milieu de la nature. On ne s'imagine pas qu'elle est en fait au bord d'une grand-route.
Merci pour le partage!
MarieLouise.

A female wolf made out of granite...
Like the wolf which fed Romus and Romulus, her breasts are ready to feed the land and history.

Stone on stone, the world does rock, a single crack will blow the rock.

And your stonefull photo rocks! The untouched granite, and the one, after the artist's touch. Like this photo of yours...
Cheers,
Deniz

A nice picture from simple minimalism subjects but i like the contrast between the sculpture and the superb blue sky and i think this has the best position rather than the ws's picture, this kind of colours combination which i like to add the white border to frame it, nevertheless i still enjoy this shot Jose.tfs

greetings
daniel
