Hello Juan,

Superb colors in this composition, attesting to the creativity of Liechtestein and the skill of the photographer. This also shows once for all that digital photography has equaled and surpassed the analogue photography. The best of slide film (Kodachrome and Fujichrome) could not have produced better colors and resolution.

Warm regards,

Bulent

Ciao Juan
hai saputo travare il momento per fotografare questo bel soggetto.
La luce è forte e dà grande vivacità ai colori senza penalizzare il rilievo del soggetto grazie al punto di ripresa leggermente defilato.
Il cielo azzurro crea un contrasto eccellente.
Perfetta la ripresa ricca di nitidezza e con la giusta saturazione del colore.
Complimenti
Ciao e buona serata
Romano

Hi Juan,
I really like this colorful and creative sculpture. It's so unique and very well-known for all Barcelona's fans!:-)
You have taken this image during a lovely sunny day so all details are perfectly presented. The clear blue sky is the best background as possible. Like it!

Best,
Gosia

Hi Juan,
Very nice, and a very happy face too, or at least I think so! I agree with the other comments, the detail and colour in this is superb, and presented against that blue sky, wonderful.

When I see the traces of what looks like Mozaic in the blue, yellow and black, I wonder if this is a tip of the hat to Gaudi, the legend of Barcelona? I know little of his work to be honest, only what I see here on TE, so perhaps not. In saying that though, I have a small Gaudi insired lizard on the table bseide me as I type this, and it certainly looks like there could be a connection.
All the best
Noel

Hello Juan - This is really special. I have never seen a shot of this Liechtenstein work before and I am enthralled. I am so impressed by the fact that he acknowledged Gaudi's work and incorporated mosaic work in this Pop Art face. Really a top class shot with superb colour and detail. A real pleasure to see.

Hola Juan !!
estaba punto de comentar en otra foto que me gusto ( funny pergola ) cuando encontre a esta...... le vi mas caracter y merito
pienso que la tomaste el mismo dia porque el color del cielo es el mismo y las dos estan en la villa olimpica.
Barcelona...... llena de riquezas.
Que tengas un lindo fin de semana.
Un saludo muy amistoso
Gus
