Cuban Pharmacie, a photo from Guantanamo, East

Photographer's Note

Just a moment in the small town of Baracoa, a place worth to visit, like the rest of Cuba. Nothing more to add I just hope you fell like you were with this women having some conversation.

Un instante en la vida de Baracoa, un lugar que merece la pena visitar, al igual que el resto de Cuba. Nada más que añadir, sólo espero que viendo la foto os sintáis como si estuvieras con estas mujeres conversando o pasando el rato.

Hello Miguel!
As a pharmacist myself I was excited to see a pharmacy from Cuba!
Thank you very much for this opportunity!

Very interesting shot, Miguel - great for TE. I really like the lines and colours in this shot and the contrast between the modern woman in her shorts and the old-world atmosphere of the building.

This composition in my opinion is working because it gives you a feel of this interesting place which is like no other vet pharmacy I have seen before. The placing of the two women in the left of the frame is also good. Am I seeing things or is that a reptile in the window??!! Looks like a baby croc!

The sharpness is poor, but I assume that's from the scanning. I like the comp of this pic except that I would prefer it if that girl in the centre was facing us (a difficult thing to ask I understand!). A nice pic overall!

Una foto interesante, la presencia de la joven mujer con lo que parece ser la dueña sentada, contrastan perfectamente en esta vieja farmacia veterinaria.
Una tipica escena de la Cuba de hoy.
Gracias por compartirla con nosotros.

A slice of Cuban life. This is a very worthwhile capture for TE and a record shot of a way of life that surely will fade in the near future.

Nice picture Miguel
Do I understand it well that this farmacia is a veterinary farmacia for animals! What a luxury for Cuban standards.
Baracoa is indeed one of the most beautiful places in Cuba and unfortunately many people do not take or have the time to go there ...
