Another entry from the flower festival in Girona in the north of Spain. Even the statue had her small flower decoration in place. I liked here the 3 girls as a contrast to the statue in the street.

The flower festival is arranged in the mid of May and is presented at several posts all over the old town. Absolute a 'must' should you be around.
Next May check your chance for a cheap flight with Ryan air to Barcelona (..you will land directly in Girona anyway with Ryan...)

HI Jack,

very nice picture. I like the POV, including the foreground statue on the left and the women on right. Incredible details which enhances a lot the composition. Great job!
Regards,
Carlos

Hi, Jack. The contrast is not only between the girls and the statue. It also exists betrween the grey wall in the foreground and the brown ones in the background. The street enters in a diagoanl line and is a very good lead into the picture. Sharpness is excellent.

Hi Jack,

Wonderful photo, the statue almost seems to be peering around the corner at the group of girls like a spy! Wonderful colours and exposure and a good level of detail.

You have shown a great eye to recognise the possibility for this excellent composition but I think just a little more image on the left so the arm of the statue doesn't go out of the frame would have been preferable to me. A small criticism though to what is otherwise a wonderful photo. Great work!

Regards,

Rich

Une vue très original de cette partie de cette ville ! J'aime bien les couleurs qui nous rappellent un peu les photos anciennes ! Tu as saisi une jolie scène !
Bien vu !

Hello Jack,

A nice comparison between the statue and the three ladies, but the ladies have no flower on the bosom, the clarity and sharpness are very nice, excellent composition too. TFS.

Best regards,
John.

Slt jack ...
sur cette photo, on peux interpréter plusieurs choses et moi je la trouve original par la cadrage ... comme si la statue se cache des visiteuses par pudité ?

Hello Jack,
An attractive composition, with good dynamics created by the diagonal from statue to the girls!
Excellent details, in particalar I appreciate the textures in the stone walls!
Greetings,
Pablo -

Jack, c'est une composition originale avec ce premier plan à la statue et ces jeunes filles en second plan. La fleur sur le sein attire bien le regard et ton commentaire explique sa présence.

A great compotition too as a consept but the final result is less than expectations. The statue that wants to be human, wants to have friends and discuss casually in the middle of the street. My objection is the group of humant that attracts the statue. They look too plain, too unimportant. One is partially hidden behind the other. I fail to see why the statue wants to become like them from all choises. Maybe if you would wait in that potiotion for a more interesting group of people... My congratulations though for the consept.
