Thank you very much for your comment, I like it because as you say sometimes we reed too much into a photo, and I like the one that are questioning or hiding something out of the evidence. As you know many of the street pictures are a quite non conscient act, there are a fast response of our instict or intuition to capture a moment, as it was in this case, when I was looking at the girl and focusing the boy has appeared in my viewfinder and I've reacted immediately. In general the picture is not in focus and if I gave preference to the girl rather than the boy was a coincidince, IMO on this case a good convenience, we can apreciate the boy's look and expression without seeing clearly his face, what I think it was not necessary. This point in La Rambla is a quite usual meeting point and usually there is people waiting to meet someone, generally this give good shooting oportunities and sometimes unexpected moment. Thanks again, I really apreciate your thoughts cheers Lluis El 15/04/2012, a las 17:48, <tedgrant at shaw.ca> <tedgrant at shaw.ca> escribi?: > Lluis Ripoll SHOWED: > Subject: [Leica] Look > > >> <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/luisrq/La+Rambla/L1026104BNw.jpg.html >> > > > Dear Luis, Buenos d?as querido amigo! > > Interesting how everyone including yourself find the boy looking as > the main point of interest. > > What I find more effective is the side of the senoritas head, and > hand.
