Ipanema beach, a photo from Rio de Janeiro, Southeast

Photographer's Note

A view from the Ipanema beach quite close from the place where I made that other posting.

In the background, you may recognize two hills I like very much in Rio : "Os Dois Irmãoes" I already presented you.

I guess than when I made that shot, I wanted to use the perspective created by the colorful towels on the sand to enhance there presence. I don't know if you noticed it :)

Bonsoir Stephen,
Je suis tombé par hazard sur ta gallerie en cherchant des photos du Brésil ou j'étais moi même en Avril.
Un grand bravo pour l'ensemble de tes photos, spécialement les portraits. Beaucoup de belles choses.
J'ai retourvé beaucoup de choses que je connais aussi et nous avons des similitudes jusque dans le matériel (20D + 17/40)...
Encore merci d'avoir mis en ligne toutes ces photos fantastiques;
Amicalement. Christian
