Description I was walking on the promenade at sunset and there I saw these guys practicing Kapueira, the Brazilian martial art.
Took some photos and then as the sun started to come down they all aligned perfectly for my dream shot and there it is.

This is fantastic. I've wanted to try capoeira since I saw it in the game Tekken. x3

And this shot is just great! They all truly managed to be in wonderful poses just at the right moment and the silhouettes are just wonderful. I also like how this one jumping guy looks like he's trying to catch the falling sun into his hands before he fells down. Also, the fact that little of the sea is shown gives a nice touch here. The only thing that bugs me is the blue frame, don't know why, but maybe it's just in my mind.

An enjoyable piece once again.

thank you very much
about the frame, maybe you're right, that's why in the print I have a standard black frame
