Wonderful capture Elroyie! Full of action...in spite of the main theme being a litlle vanished cause of the lot of distracting background i love the mood you captured here. Good job :)

His shadow really distinguishes this photo. The shot would have been good with him only, but his shadow makes in great.

Hello.
Capoeira is a mixt between a dance and martial art coming from brazil, its funny seeing that is Israel.
For this kind of pictures I prefer to work with a less shutter speed to have a movement effect. A speed like 125 by example.

Great shot, Elroyie! You made a good choice with your high shutter speed and we can see this guy in levitation. What is very funny is the shadow on the ground and the other shadow of his left leg on his short (this one seems a bone
Very well done!

Good action shot. Funny to see that capoeira is also in vogue in Israel..

Very good frozen action moment, Elroyie. The pose of the guy is truly intriguing, and the fact that you captured not only him but also his shadow in front of the mesmerized crowd is a plus for your composition. Great colors and nice sunny beach feeling, well done.

It is funny to see people doing capoeira in Israel. It is so tipically brazilian... If you are interested in capoeira, you can play it in your computer. Just click here

Parabens! Congratulations. Your picture is very well taken. I liked the way you frozen the acrobatic guy.
