[Leica] Look

[lluisripollquerol at gmail.com (Lluis Ripoll)]

Dear Ted, Buenos dias querido amigo!

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
