[Notas - Normas] Nota do Artista
"We look crazy, but we are actually doing something that makes some sort of sense!"

This funny scene happened in a beach in the southernmost of China, at the south of the Hainan Island.

Although Chinese people behave very diferently from Europeans at the beach, this particular scene could also be from an European group. Or not...

It was late afternoon and they were playing with the long shadows on the sand, for quite a while. I think they were trying to write chinese characters. The one in yellow was the photographer and they were having a lot of fun, by the sound of their laughter.

I was passing by and manage to get a single shot of them. Unfortunately I didn't get the whole shadow, but most of us wouldn't be able to understand it even if I had.

In the background you can see the luxurious greenery of the sub-tropical climate.

Hi Ricardo,
Yes they look a bit crazy!!but a well captured position, good POV and DOF, colors and sharpness fine too
funny one!
Laurent

Hi Ricardo,
Funny poses! Seems like the guy in the middle is photographing their shadows...
But did they know you were photographing too? Hehehehe...
Good POV, well framed image! And a pleasant beach in the middle of Paradise...
Greetings,
Pablo -

Excellent game Ridardo; they really do look as if they are having fun. There seems to be some kind of symmetry with the outside ones mirroring each other. You should have asked to join in :). It wouldn't be such fun with our writing. The background is lovely too and not at all how I imagine China, although with such a big country there's bound to be great diversity.

Hi Ricardo.
That's a good idea. I like the colours but specially I like the moment and the photo by itself.
Nice, fun and a good work.

Thanks for share.

Olá Ricardo,
Una simpática captura de estos muchachos que parecen estar bailando o jugando con sus propias sombras.
Las largas sombras nos indican una baja posición del sol, con lo que la iluminación es dura, y hay que ajustar bien la cámara para conseguir una exposición correcta. Además, hay un gran y bonito contraste entre la arena y el fondo tan verde con árboles y palmeras.
Todo está bien en la foto.
Un saludo,
Josep

Well shown, gthe POV is very good.
Thanks and regards, Gerrit

Hi Ricardo
A great and amusing picture. Nice action and a fun side to the shot. Good compositon too, and nice colours. I like the line up too, as it looks quite amusing indeed. Good capture.

Ricardo the details showing their playtime is a real comedy scene. There is nothing like hanging loose on a tropical beach. Lovely capture!

Hi Ricardo,
A funny shot, but also a typical TE shot that teaches us about how Chinese have fun at the beach!. I like their different attitudes and I think they were really too busy to notice you! Good framing with the vegetation in the background.
Have a nice day.

Can't understand what is their action, but find the positions and the group very funny.
May be this has a sense if there is another photographer in front.
Well found

Hola Ricardo
la verdad es que el momento de disparo no podía ser mejor. Es una toma muy divertida. Lastima que la vista no fuera frontal pero claro esto ya no se puede controlar.
Un gran tiro.
Feliz fin de semana
PD: El scaneado no se nota nada.

hello Ricardo,
I love watching people and this is a great image. Good POV and great moment- they probably were not standing on one foot for very long.

Ola Ricardo:

I like their position if you watch the two woman are in the same posiiton ans them too just the guy in the middle is diferent but this guys are touch to the two woman in the arm and his feed is up, so yes maybe theya re writting somoething with them shadows.
