Very nice action shot! At first the feet in the upper left corner bothered me a bit, but they help tell the story and actually add even more interest to the shot, I like your angle. Did you get down on the street and shoot them from there aswell?

from the shadows on the right, the instruments they show, and as it is from brazil, then it is definitively Capoeira.
great energy and really nice to have those shadows.

Wow. What a great angle. I like your compo and the fact you kept the feets around. Well done. Congradulations.

Great shot Radek - the creativity of your photography is going from strength to strength - it's a real joy to see your pictures - a nice perspective - the feet at the top and shadows show the rondo - the circle of capoeira players and add an important dimension to the picture - it's great fun to play!!

best wishes

Kev

Excellent. Great action, great composition, nice colors, fantastic PoV. I like also very much the shadow of the flying man on the floor.

Wow Radek, this is very cool! It's almost video game like ("Finish Him!!! Arghhhhh!!!!!") Nice sharpness and a fast enough shutter to freeze the action and really make this shot special.

I'm not sure about the framing though, it's good, but I think I'd prefer it if it were vertical, so that you could get the shadow of the guy below too (then select the shadow and boost it's contrast a touch for added umph!).

Very cool man!

bardzo fajne zdjecie Radek, swietny moment dobrze uchwycony, wlasciwie nie mam zastrzezen, fajnie ze sa te nogi w gornym rogu i cienie na ziemi. dobra robota

I love the POV. Uniquely chosen and executed. The shadows are subtle indication of the crowd. Smart shot!

Very, very good photo with nice colores. Great capture, action and composition. Incredible sharpness and contrast. This scene looks like the movie.You have got very quick eye. Congratulation. Well done.

sengir (4956) 2005-05-13 19:47

to wymiata, matrix :), szkoda jednak zdecydowanie ze sa te biale nogi z rogu - jakby byli tylko kolesie na tle chodnika to mi przynajmniej by sie bardziej podobalo (zdjecie by sie jeszcze odrealnilo, bardziej "zmatrixowalo")

Hi Radek,

Congrulations..

Very cool action shot! I also like the completely different perspective from above! Great shot!

Zbyszek (251) 2005-05-17 17:57

To mi sie podoba. Wyglada jak by grawitacja gdzies sie zapodziala.... gdyby tylko zlikwidowac nogi w lewym gornym rogu (mozesz wyciac troche) w ogole nie byloby widac gdzie gora a gdzie dol... czy oni stoja czy leca...
Fajnie ujete.

chalcone (761) 2005-05-18 10:12

Wow! Amazing ... the two guys seem to be stepping on two different planes ;) Excellent capture.

Yes Radek, it's "capoeira". The photo is good, with a good different point of view.
