Great fun shot! Well caught.

Hahaha... Tamara, I love capoeira. I practiced it myself when I was a kid.

This is a very well-timed shot, and full of humour, and I really like it. But it's no great advert for the sport/dance/music of capoeira. I take no issue with it, and I'm not sure if it's what you wanted to do, but it's almost like you are mocking it. The expression on the guy's face, his position like he's about to fall on his backside... VERY FUNNY.

Thanks for your comment Angelo. I'm glad you find this amusing!

I definitely wasn't trying to mock capoeira. This guy is a friend of mine, actually. I loved how he threw himself into this and it was fun to capture the expressions on his face as he did all these manuevers. I think we might have exhausted him however because we didn't have any music for him to dance to, so we just asked him to do jumps for us over and over again. I guess he was probably getting tired here! But you know, of course, he loved every minute of it.

(Oh, and fortunately, he didn't fall on his backside here!)
