Thread: Photo description

You could say "Standing: XX; Seated, left to right: A and B"

One of them is stood up

Be aware that the above phrase means "One of them had a date but the guy did not come." In Chile, I think the expression is "La dejó con los crespos hechos". In other words, someone was ready to go out (for dinner, dancing, a movie, etc.), but the person who invited her/him did not keep the commitment.

Standing, sitting, seated, kneeling, etc. are fine for descriptions of photos.

Good point Thomas! In Argentina we say "la dejó plantada"

hola,

encontré esta descripción en una foto de getty images, el proveedor de fotografías de los diarios mas importantes del mundo.

Vale decir que el OECD Secretary-General Jose Angel Gurria Trevino está parado , o sea sería la persona del medio de la foto y no hacen referncia a eso. Lo mismo pasa en muchas otras fotos.

Tal vez podrías omitir el hecho de que esten parados o sentados.

me pregunto qué serán los "crespos"... los "rulos" (rizos)? otra expresión que usamos en Argentina es: "bañada y sin fiesta".

Pames, en muchas fotos sí decimos standing, kneeling, sitting, etc. Depende de la foto y depende de quien la describe.

Laura, como tengo entendido, en Chile "los crespos" se refieren a los rizos. Me encanta esa expresión de "bañada y sin fiesta".
