Donde vas? .... A La Calle!
Where are you going? ... To the street!
You will hear this often in an ordinairy Cuban home and marriadge.
Men love to hang out in the streets to meet friends, do some "business", repair the car and drink a beer ... or 2 ;)
Women don't, Cuban men do not really prefer their women going out alone ... yes to do some shopping :)

Hi An,

superb colors. Very strong. I must congratulate you on the postprocessing to give us such a color explosion. I really like the feel of Cuba from your photos, it seems like such a beautiful, colorful place.

Wonderful photo, brilliant colors, composition and POV! TFS - Xplorator Radu

Dag Anja,
Mooi standpunt gekozen, zit erg veel diepte in de foto.
Hij is mooi zwaar aangezet wat vooral de lucht ten goede komt.
In de linker voorgrond had er misschien een tint warmer licht in gemogen waardoor de twee dames er iets meer uitgesprongen waren?
Groetjes, Henk

Hi An, you've found the perfect way to post pictures of Cuba, i think this is the best result you can obtain, ie lot of contrasts, saturation a little bit, warm colors, and a huge dark frame that enhances all !!!!
This is brilliant, i'm very fan of that kind of picture, excellent !!!

Hi An.
Le PP est un peu fort je trouve...cie ciel bleu est un peu vilonet. mais d'un autre côté, il donne un contraste et une ambiance hors norme.
Chouette la profondeur dans cette rue, bel effer de perspective.
Joli

Hello An:
Interesting photograph!Great perspective!The sky is very violent and not real, but at the same time, it contribute to the contrast and give a very special impression. I like a lot! I am sorry for my english, but I am cuban and I don't speak english very well.
regards.

Dag An,
ik vind dit een meesterwerk. Het dagelijks leven geweldig gevangen en de uitsnede, kadrering en kwaliteit zijn onovertroffen.
Heel mooi.

Hi An,
the color tones and lighting are amazing in this photo.. and what a place! I wish I could go to cuba one day, for now it is illegal to travel to cuba for and american citizen.. that's very sad but reality. Thank you for bringing cuba to those of us who can't go there. Well done!
cheers,
skye

Exelente foto de una escena de calle typica... Me encanta este tipo de escenas donde ves la gente hablar y charlar, reir... Lo que no tenemos mucho en los paises industrializados: tomar el tiempo de vivir simplemente!

This is a great colourful photo that so well captures the spirit of the Cuban street.

I travelled myself to Cuba a couple of years ago, and browsing your gallery of Cuba photos brings back many fond memories.
