Description
This was shot at the top of Corcovado, in which Christ The Redeemer is. People were waiting on the line for their turn to get in the vans and make their way back and as I was observing them, I noticed that time to time they had to walk, making a beautiful pattern. I was able to capture it and the clean sky as background helped me with the soft white and grey background.Almost aways, the beauty in our everyday life is unnoticed. I say almost always cause we, photographers, are one of the exceptions. It is so good to be a photographer! My mom was very surprised that I could portray such beauty in a simple queue of people, being even more surprised when she thought that she was there too, but could not see anything at all. Society models the behavior of people, and wherever you are you are expected to do the proper things for the situation, and we end up forgetting to actually observe our surroundings.
I think I'm too philosophical today
EDIT: Submitted it now as a print!

Wow!!! That's great!!!
I love when nature and the live of real people can create one harmony so perfect that it enough to catch it... The only one problem that it is difficult to be in a perfect moment at the perfect place)))

Interesting shot and philosophy! Nice gray scale and scene setup! I always look at the ground wherever I walk and I always find money on the ground that way. Thanks to economy and greed, I'll be doing this for years to come. LOL Excellent work and congratulations on the DD!

I'm glad that you liked the concept here. I do think that the grayscale came out great here cause it gives it a bigger impact... Keep looking to the ground if it is working with you, cause in my place it is near impossible to find anything on the ground lol

It really does look great, I cant picture it in colour, I think it would loose some of the impact, but still a great photograph.
