Photographer's Note
In old town most of the streets are only for pedestrians but from time to time any vehicle can disturb your pleasant walk.

Hello Juan
Not only are you the master photographer of modern architecture you are also brilliant at depicting the old. The lighting here is superb and the figure with the moto makes the scene.
Best wishes

Hi Juan,
This is a lovely street view, well composed and with wonderful light from the side. What makes this shot special for me is the ambiental smoke (presumably) coming from the motorcycle...
Kind regards,
Spela

Hola Juan ,
La perspective sur cette rue est excellente , mais c'est surtout l'atmosphère extraordinaire qui s'en dégage qui fait la force de la photo . Avec cet homme et son scooter qui semble sortir de la lumière ;
Très belle prise .

Ola Juan,
The interesting feature here is the blue smoke coming out at the back. Maybe there's a car started, just behind the corner. The smoke gives a great aura to the man and his motorbike. Or is it he himself causing all those fumes?
Great shot, but it might have been even better with a lower crop at the top to avoid that piece of overexposed sky.

Hi Juan,
It's amazing how much depth is visible in the thumbnail of this photo! Opened into the larger view, the cramped winding streets and tall buildings have an even greater impact.
I like that you included the man because he acts as a great reference point for the size of the buildings. I also like that even though the tall buildings would seemingly cast a dark shadow onto the road, you have managed to capture a burst of sunlight.
Everything works well together in this shot.
Thanks for sharing!

Hi Juan,
I love these kind of small old streets with the beautiful buildings closing in on all sides and a little light filtering through here and there, it really provides a great atmosphere just like in your shot. Nice details to observe and the guy with his scooter provides that element of life to this quiet street.
Regards
Wanda

Bonjour Juan
Cette réalisation est une des plus belles que j'ai vue récemment. Le cadrage vertical fait ressortir la hauteur des bâtiments qui entourent le motocycliste. Les fleurs aux balcons sont superbes et la fumée fournit l'atmosphère.
Amicalement

Hola Juan,
Muy bien vista esta composición con el motorista que camina por una de las calles estrechas, supongo que cerca del puerto o barrio gótico. Me parece reconocerla por sus balcones que parecen darse la mano, pero imagino que habrá muchas similares.
Magnífica la luz y la atmósfera.
Un abrazo,
Charo

Hola Juan,
Nice taken alley with variable light and shadows, good DOF, and the man with hand-held motorcycle as silhouette is a nice addition.
Buenas dias.

Grande Jose!
Da motociclista che vive su 2 ruote quotidianamente(ecco il mio Bucefalo - http://www.trekearth.com/gallery/Eur...oto1062829.htm ) apprezzo moltissimo questa foto, anche se non c’è una bella moto, ma la vespa, va bene lo stesso!
L’alone di fumo d’etro crea un effetto molto artistico, come se fosse una scena del film Mad Max…
Un abbraccio!
I.

Hola Juan,
The man is like the punctuation of this great scene, I loved wandering these backstreets of Barca, the people are often quite friendly, and even though I speak no Catalan as such, they were happy to converse in English or Castilian, whcih reflected the wonderful open minds in these narrow streets.
Cheers
Justin

Ola juan
J'aime beaucoup comme l'homme et son scooter sont pris dans le contre jour
Très bel effet
Le seul petit reproche ce sont les aberrations chromatiques bleu/jaune en liseré dans beaucoup d'endroits
A cette taille sur écran ce n'est pas grave mais imagine en tirage 40X50 çà se verrait bcp . Tu peux les éliminer en Photoshop!
Excellente image néanmoins
Bon dimanche
