[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Of course even in the old town of the Spanish Catalonian city Girona you will find the modern man engaged in some SMS activity along the small streets of the hilled old town. He is even considered enough to place himself perfect under the arch in the good light just between the two flower pots - even dressing himself in the red T-shirt just for adding a touch of red to the compo. I guess no more to ask for then. Just: KLICK :-)

Hello Jack,
I like the 95% symmetry!
Good contrast between activity and surroundings, which are captured with great details...
Attractive colours, many interesting details to explore!
Greetings,

Hello Jack,

Joli cadrage pour cette belle vue urbaine ! J'apprécie ici la symétrie et la rigueur de la composition ! Cette personne et son portable sont assez décalés dans cette architecture ancienne !
Bien vu !

A+

Hi Jack.

Jajajajajajaja, well seen! Excellent contrast of the man and the "environment"...

Well done!

RGs, Oscar

Old and new in perfect color!

Hei Jack,

Interesting scene here. I really like the colors and detail in the image. I allso like the man sending an SMS or something, it is a different sort of motif for this sight. TFS.

Friendly,

Nice shot Jack. He looks like an actor playing a scene in some play. Colorful and funny.

salut jack
une ambiance garantie avec ces belles couleurs, photo graphique avec la symétrie des pots de fleur au milieu du porche, et le personnage au milieu

Hi Jack,

It's very funny and interesting shot. He is absolutely concentrated in his phone, and it's placed like if he was a piece of one scenery, the red T-shirt is a touch of color really interesting, between the dominant gray. Great shot! Thanks.

Regards,
Angel.

Jack, il y a un jeu de lumière superbe dans cette photo. J'aime le rendu de la pierre et le rouge du T-shirt. Le décalage entre le décor et l'activité de l'homme est un plus savoureux.

Hi Jack,
La place bien calculé sans faire express du personnage occuper avec son gsm, entre deux les pots de fleur et sous ce porche, couleurs attirante sur ces vielle pierres
have a nice day

Hello Jack,

Superb shot, helped along substantially by the man sitting with his red T-shirt, but with a touch of broken symmetry. This is a fabulous shot, with all the right elements — composition, perspective, light and shadows, colors and definition. Since you use a Nikon D70 with the Nikkor 18-70 lens, just as I do, your photos serve as touch stone. I see what is possible. And this is a very impressive photo.

In 1997 in Washington, DC then in 2000 in Seoul, Korea, I served as the organizing chair of a pair of interdisciplinary conferences called "Symmetry in Its Various Aspects: Search for Order in the Universe." I had invited speakers who were world class in their respective disciplines — mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, the social sciences, and the arts. The one thing that we could all agree on was that symmetry is good, "broken symmetry" is even better. There is some subtle aspect beyond the obvious. In this photo there is just enough symmetry lacking to make it much interesting.

Warm regards,
Bulent

hehehe... very nice portrait of this man in red :)
excellent symmetry :)
have a nice week end, Jack

This could almost be an advertisement shot. All you need is a product to sell and a sales pitch...LOL.

Funny, how he positioned himself exactly in the center of that arch between those potted plants. The temptation would have been to put him off center but I'm glad you didn't. His central position is what makes this shot work well.

A very well found moment indeed, Jack. The stone arch provides a good "natural" frame and of course you couldn't have asked for the guy to be in any better position or to wear any other color shirt. Fine post-processing (I see clarify tool and saturation) to salvage the out-of-camera original.

Hello Jack
Le résultat est plutôt amusant; Cette voute fait un cadre naturel à ton modèle; Le PP est superbe avec cette belle lumière.
très beau travail, amicalement

Hi Jack,

I like the old building and the lovely colour of the stone, also the part in background with the ceiling in wood structure, the man with GSM the disease of our time. Nice qualitye and composition. TFS.

Have a nice weekend,
John.

Hi Jack, this is really wonderful, well seen and well built with the man with the red shirt exactley in a simmetric composition!
really brilliant.
thanks, ciao

Hi Jack!

Interesting shot and excellent Klick, I like this symmetrical image, the seated person contributes to the work a moment amused, you knew to see this moment and for catching it with your camera, a fantastic light and beautiful textures. It seems a soccer goalkeeper, will stop penalti? ;-)

Regards
José

Hello, Jack!
Very succesful, central composition with very nice natural framing, which focuses an eye on the person in the middle. Nice work!
regards,
Greg

Hello Jack
Very interesting game light with a good control of the exposure.
I note a difference in your choice of subject.
Well done.
Cheers.
