Interesting monochrome, Sergio. The wonderful composition carries this off well. My only nit is that the horizon seems a bit tilted -- easy to correct in your editor.

I love the feeling that comes from this shot. Something timeless and nostalgic! Division of space and repetition of shape (silhouettes and reflections of silhouettes) make this a strong piece. TFS.

The B&W created a very cold atmosphere. The people silhouettes against the very light water and sky. An unreal mood. Great idea and well done.

Hello Sergio,

Excellent presentation in BW. Crisp outlines and some wonderfully shaped bodies. I think Mike needs his eyes checked, anyone can see that the beach is curved, no need for alignment. TFS,

Where did you take this from?? What a fantastic photo, great use of silhouette - there is a story in every square inch of this shot. Some funny, some beautiful, some intriguing. I love the misty hint of the highrise towers in the distance.

Hi Sergio,
An unusual shot; very nice daily life shot in beach, its extraordinarily white shade surprises me. It’s nice to see all people in shadow. I like your idea to cover the large area in the image because its gives this image a dreamy look. Thanks for sharing this.

Ola Sergio!

Looking at this one , it reminds me , skaters on Canal Rideau , Ottawa or on Saint-Charles river in Quebec City on a winter day!

Lovely POV with the curve of the beach , and all these people looking like ants.

Certainly an original and unusual B&W shot for a brazilean beach!
Well done!

Hi again, Sérgio - Your photos are just so good, how do you keep doing it? An image full of people's silhouettes at the beach, so many. Your composition has a classical, nostalgic component or mood - maybe because it is b/w? I also like the mist/sea spray in the background into which people seem to vanish. Well done. - Cheers, Cordelia :) :)

Tem uma ambiente ao mesmo tempo festivo, de «revelation day», apocalíptico. Tem uma luz e uma composição soberbas e uma fantástica conversão a p/b. Irresistível. Parabéns, mb
