Centuries, a photo from Rio de Janeiro, Southeast

Photographer's Note

First there was just the fishemen catching their food from the generous sea. With the time, the modern civilization came with some money and tourism. The fishermen are still there, now fishing in a not so generous sea, and for a not so generous money...

This is "Praia da Armação", Búzios, state of Rio de Janeiro, and this three men are sculptures bronze made by Christina Motta. The cruiseship is the "Costa Romantica", departuring from Santos to this port in the summer.

Cheers!

Hi Jose. Nice contrast between old and new, big and small. Those statues are very lifelike and had me fooled. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Paul.

Hello Jose
You show the contrast between social-economic classes. There's hardly any or no chance that the fishermen on the foreground will ever make a cruise....
Nice picture. Blue-tinting(?) works well.

Hi, José.

Great shot with multiple values: the color es amazing, the blue of sky and of water seems monochrome, and over the blue the other colors contrast very well, specially the red, the white and the human figures. Very well composed too: the subjects more importants are in the backround (the cruiseship) and in the foreground (the men at work), there is a great difference between them: measure, economical situation... it's too a documentary. Amazing! Congratulations, and thanks.

Hi Jose!
Good shown opposition.Simplicity and new tehnology.Fishermans on photo are like time catchers which always lag behind.

Os contrastes do Brasil!
Há algum país com mais contrastes que o Brasil?
Essas estátuas enganaram-me. Parecem mesmo pessoas.
Não gosto da luz ou tom da foto. Mas a composição está espectacular.

They are bronze scultpures. I thought they are real fishermen. Wonderful pic.

Outra bela foto de Buzios Zeca. Como conseguiu esses tons no céu? Está maravinhos.

Essas estátuas são demais, realmente parecem humanos de verdade. Melhor ainda a disposição dos barcos, se percebere, eles estão em ordem crescente, tem um bem pequeno na frente e o cruzeiro enorme ao fundo, como se fossem uma família! :)

Ótimo POV!

Abraço
Andre

Incredible and fascinating perspective and scale ! That's a great composition, with a good note. And the light is OK despite the bad weather. Excellent.

Além de fotógrafo virou escritor agora.
Boa nota! E boa foto também ,claro.
O contraste realmente é gritante.
O céu nublado deu um clima diferente mas encaixou bem na sua nota "dramática".
Abraço e bom feriado.

Olá Zeca,

Foto muito bem feita!Você aproveitou muito bem as esculturas com um ótimo POV. Ótimas cores e um espetacular contraste entre os pequenos barcos e a grande embarcação!

Abraços,

Oi Zeca,

Excelente! Fiquei na duvida se os pescadores eram de verdade ou nao... A composicao e perfeita, os pescadores no primeiro plano, os pequenos barcos e ao fundo o transatlantico. O fundo acinzentado da um tom unico a scena e oferece um bom contraste com as cores vivas dos barcos de pesca. Excelente profundidade, luz e contraste.

Abracos,

Flavia

Linda tua composição, Jose Augusto. Parece um quadro à óleo, onde se permite colocar o que se quer.

Búzius é realmente um dos lugares mais lindos do Brasil.

Nice contrast between fishing boats and the cruise ship.
Nice color and DOF. The POV and composition are great. The ominous sky may be a statment of conflict.
Thanks,
Asa
