Spectators II, a photo from Parana, South

Photographer's Note

Daddy is very interested in the "Lasso Tournament", maybe because he will be in action later, since there is a lasso in his hands. But the son seems to be thinking about anything far from this world.
Daddy is wearing typical clothes, with a big knife ready for use... I hope that it is for the barbecue from the picture Iґve already posted.
Regards,
Zeca

Hello Jose,
Very nice b&w picture...
I like the expression from daddy and son, good framing by the trunk on each sides. Interesting note...
Thanks :-)

Olб Zeca,

mais um flagrante desse torneio em uma composiзгo muito bela. Realmente o garoto parece estar em outro mundo e o pai numa certa apreensividade. Gostei do close nos dois, sem deixar espaзo para que perdemos a atenзгo sobre o que interessa. Boa opзгo pelo p&b e уtima nitidez da imagem. Gostei mesmo!
Abraзo,
Carlos

Hola Zeca.
Excelente foto en blanco y negro, la presencia del gaucho hablandole al joven esta estupenda. Las dos figuras tienen una pose muy expresivas, la captaste con un punto de vista muy bueno. Buena definicion y detalles.
Felicitaciones.

Ola Jose -

Your South American Rodeo series is well inspired and well executed. I like your choice of B&W for this series as seems to suit the subject matter very well. You have good side lighting here and you have handled the exposure very well. Almost not worth mentioning, but I think there could be just a touch more light in the shadows especially under the brim of the hat. But regardless of what I think this is well done as is the series.

Thank you for sharing.

John

Zeca, muito boa tomada desta conversa entre o pai e o filho. Ate parece que eles estao debatendo a melhor strategia para a apresentacao a vir. Gostei da escolha P&B enriquecendo os contrastes e sombras desta imagem. vc ta realmente ficando muito bom no controle monochromatico.
Abracao, Peter

Hello Zeca,
This is a great capture!
The personalities you depict here we don't meet on every street corner, and the opposite poses work very well here...
Seems like there is some communication going on, excellent work!
Greetings,

Hi Jose. A very fine portrait style of these two. The B&W treatment works to make it timeless. I especially like the guys hat and long knife! TFS. Murray.
