IN THE SHADOW OF A BUTI�, a photo from Parana, South

Photographer's Note

Not so far from the previous image I found this modernist house, probably built in the 1960's. These grids in the window are a terrible sign of the violence in our country in these last decades. rnThis palm tree is a buti� (Butia capitata), native from southern areas of Brazil, but not from this region. Its fruits are delicious. I am not sure but I guess the old car is a WV passat, a very usual Brazilian car during the 1970's and 1980's.

N鉶 distante da foto anterior encontrei essa casa modernista, provavelmente feita nos anos 60. Reparem que a grade nas janelas � um detalhe que mostra a viol阯cia que se apossou de nosso pa韘 nos 鷏timos anos. A palmeira que vemos � um buti�, (Butia capitata) nativa de 醨eas mais ao sul do Brasil e famosa pelo sabor de seus frutos. O carro eu acho que � um passat.

Bonjour, cher Jorge,
Une prise de vue qui ravit l'oeil par ses couleurs vives.
Un ciel d'un bleu profond, un palmier donnant des fruits.
Le jeu de lumi鑢e et de l'ombre est parfait dans cette r閍lisation.
Amiti閟.

Hello Jorge,
This is quite an original modernist photo. Normally I would have preferred some treatment to lighten the dark shadows, but in this case the strong contrasts and intensely dark areas are perfect. I really like the silhouette of the tree, the sharp vertical shadows on the wall and the contrasts of beige wall and yellow car. The shade going diagonally across the car and the wall have a strong impact.
Best regards,
Gert

Hello Jorge,
I really like the strong play of light and shadow in this picture. The sunlit part of the yellow car and the blue sky are most eye-catching. Good vertical composition too.

Hi Jorge
Looking closely this draws one into the photo and keep looking at it. Great use of directional light, shade and shadow along with interplay of strong vivid colours giving it more punch. Addition of moving vehicle is timely which really helps to make this compo work. Nice snatch, Congrats
Best wishes

Hello Jorge,

What a contrast picture, you play excellent with light and shadows.
The yellow car brings a little bit colour.
An excellent composition.
Very well done, TFS.

Have a nice weekend,
John.

Hi Jorge,

Punchy light contrasts with good sharpness and partial silhouettes. The yellow taxi like car parked in the shade provides a focal point. Tfs!
