Hooray, I figured out how to do PIP.

Wording added after the Sunday Challenge
was over:


These were tourists at the base of the Christ statue in Rio. Some were
trying to get just the right angle with their photo. Some were posing
so that the photographer (probably not in this picture)
could put them together, some were taking selfies.

The object of their photography:

We saw this kind of behavior in Pisa, as visitors from
around the world positioned themselves and their photographers
so that they were "holding up the leaning tower".

To me, this tableau of people looks like a store window,
or some frozen moment in time.

I can see what's happening here - she's lying on the ground to take a picture of a friend, from a different angle. I hope it comes out well and describes the reason for the picture.

Bravo, voilà une photo qui interroge, excellent. Prend-elle un selfie. Au moins en reculant elle ne risque pas de tomber de la falaise comme il y peu chez nous pour deux touristes.

Robert Swanson replied to Esther:

Christ statue, Rio. See the link that I just added. All of this posing, seems other-worldly.

Perhaps she is trying to get her friend in the frame as well! The man in the foreground looks as if he is trying to ignore her and the rest of the people are ignoring her. It is odd - you would expect the young lads to look and laugh good naturedly at her efforts but they all seem quite self absorbed. I have just thought what this reminds me of - the game of 'musical statues' we used to play as kids!!!

An excellent capture and observation Robert
