Dreaming, a photo from Rio Grande do Sul, South

Photographer's Note

in this improvised tent made by plastic i saw this 2 kids sleeping. In the foreground there was this 2 other kids playing with the kite. Kids are the future of this world and everybody should be working for a better future for them....I think this composition shows a hope: while the 2 kids are dreaming with a future of fun and happiness represented by the shadows, the life keeps going outside and we are responsible to deliver a better world to our kids...

Ola Rafael!
Well seen! You got the eye here...excellent composition, the silhouettes seem to embody the sleeping kids' dreams. Really a great shot! I wonder whether you tried it in B&W, it must look terrific and fantastic!

Olá, Rafael!
Uma mensagem oportuna e bem inserida na composição da foto.Ainda bem que nem tudo está perdido e ainda existem "cabeças pensantes" neste imenso Brasil.
Parabéns,
Nivaldo.

Grande foto Rafa! Tudo é bom nesta imagem: as conjugação de cores, os dois planos com diferentes atmosferas, o detalhe... Muito boa mesmo. Podiam ser duas fotos separadas que teriam grande força. Mas assim juntas são assombrosas. Excelente!

mais uma jóia da tua série, Rafa!
linda linda. tecnicamente perfeita, cores esplêndidas e, como diz o Luis Afonso: separadas seriam completas e ótimas. juntas, são assombrosas.
parabéns. muita sensibilidade e presença de espírito conjugados para uma foto primorosa.

Very impressive image, Rafael
I really like the way you capture these two kinds of image to tell a story. The sleeping babies in color and the playing kids's shadow.
They get along very well with your title.
Excellent scene.

merhaba,
I like this one a lot..I am not sure if I feel hope from this photo..but I surely feel peace and joy...(sinan loved it too btw :)..he says our tent is dark and this looks better :)
very good colors, saturation a little low to make it look realistic..tent gives the effect of diffusion that makes it dreamy on the other hand..

A truly beautiful photograph... Thank you to Luis for bringing it to my attention by adding it to the theme.

I can read much more about this picture than you might have perhaps thought... Perhaps this is just the truth-seeking side of me. There is something slightly surreal and heavenly about this picture. As beautiful as the colours are in their natural splendour, I can imagine this would fit my thoughts and feeling behind it in a high contrast black and white...perhaps this would add to the feeling that I get of the world of childrens dreams...

I'll put it into my favourites...

Oi Tudo Bom?
Absolutley amazing capture. To be there at such a perfect moment and to be ready to capture this image is an art in itself nevermind the photo. Thank you very much for sharing this image with me.
