...To the Fortress (and other recently shared shots).

**Otavio** · 8th May 2015, 12:25 AM

Dear fellows,

Below is an image of a man crossing a bridge towards the Fortress of the Three Wise Men, in the city of Natal. The fortress was built in 1598 and is the first milestone of the city. Portuguese used it to fight invaders (Mainly french and dutch) during 16th and 17th centuries. This was shot during my recent trip to Brazil's northeast coast. C&C welcomed, as always.

PS.: I am attaching below the other images from this trip shared so far, for those who didnt check the previous threads. I might still have some images to upload, as soon as I find the time to process them.

Thanks for viewing!

Beautiful set. I especially like # 4 and 6 as they 'tell a story '.

You did go to a beautiful place there, Otavio...textured clouds in all of the shots. I am fascinated by clouds so I noticed these...I like #4 for the colouring of the sunset...beautiful rendition...All excellent compositions.

Nice series, good use of lines, colors, and shape; especially in the bridge capture.

Several interesting photos! My favorites are making a living and weather change. Beautiful photography.

Beautiful captures. My favorites are "Genipabu Beach" and "Making a Living."

Looks like a grand place to visit, you have done well to promote it. I like them all. What I find most interesting is your placement of people in #1 and #3. Not quite centered, not quite off to the 1/3 position, but it really adds, at least for me, a nice bit of tension and added sense of both where they are going and where they have come from. If you did not do that on purpose, well heck, take credit for it anyway, I think it is quite nice.
