The San Francisco valley is incredible. The Presidente Dutra bridge that divides the two cities (Petrolina and Juazeiro) is the biggest postcard in the region. I photographed this bather, jumping in the river. The amazing thing about this image is that the cloud behind it formed a kind of wing or cape. A unique, unparalleled moment and an image that can never be repeated. Indeed, an incredible photograph.
