Who The Hell Are You ? Photo

Photographer’s Note

A portrait!
Yes, a portrait from me!
And?
With tourists in the background!
Inevitable this time, I admit....

O.k., this is just one of the many street-artists on the Ramblas in Barcelona.
I had to shoot this picture very quickly, I didn't ask him but on that moment, this "devil" looked into my lens,
I'm happy with this shot, but if he is.....

The cluttered background is somewhat distracting but the subject was certainly worth the shot. Good candid portrait, well seen.

Hans je hebt echt gevoel voor humor.
Goede snelle foto, maar had je niet even in het Spaans kunnen vragen, Mag ik even een foto van U nemen. lol. En toch vind ik hem erg geslaagd.

Ik dacht daar is een rode duivel uit België maar wij daar niet, (grapje) snel foto maar toch goed genomen. Verder doen Hans!

;))) Striking shot Hans! A precious expression, no doubt. In spite of the focus this is a marvelous image..very well :)

Amusing capture, Hans! :-)) He is all in red and I think the BG can not be distracting at all - he is attracting all the attention to him, because of the vivid colours. :-) And I like the devilish expression on his face - you have been pretty fast with the camera, Hans! :-)) Great capture of the moment!

Nee , hij ziet er niet al te blij uit, goed portret, Hans.
Mooie kleuren

El diablo! He doesn't really look like, but your shot is excellent! Very well captured Hans!

I like the expression on the face, I am glad you caught the devil off guard!

Its a pitty that we can't rate notes as "funny", I will suggest to Adam. For many funny notes your star can start to smile ;o) As you mentioned on TL I looked up this guy. Very good portrait of a devil, and why I like it so much is because you just caught the moment when this posing artist forget to pose. Really good one!

It's true: the expression of that man is great. This is what makes this photo so good.

And about "diables" (yes, this is a "diable") also you can see it.

Hans,
Very amusing photo of the devil. He actually does not look very amused, though. Nice quick thinking.
