ciao Juan,
la resa un po' scura dell'immagine la rende un po' retrò accendendone i contrasti.
Buona testimonianza su questi artisti di strada che si ritagliano angoli dove poter esprimere liberamente la propria musica,
saluti
maurizio

Hola Juan!!

Muy acertada la elección del blanco y negro en esta foto...Me gusta mucho la composición...dejando ese espacio abajo para incluir la luz que trae el reflejo en el suelo, y que añade muy buen contraste con la zona de los músicos...la composición en horizontal queda equilibrada por la luz en diagonal...Perfecta!!!

Me gusta mucho...y me ha enseñado mucho...Gracias!!!

Recibe un cordial saludo...

Manu

Hola Juan,
I love this tone, this light. It suits the scene.
I remember sitting in this quarter of Barca many years ago, the Barri Gotic, and I watched as a guy played a guitar and sang. I sat with some musicians on the steps in this peaceful corner, the muscians on the steps were waiting for their turn to take the space and play. It really summarised the city for me in a way.
I was so relaxed I fell asleep on the steps, then I was woken by all these loud voices speaking German, as a tour group passed through the area, imagine my surprise to see a bunch of German tourists photographing me as I slept on the steps! Quite strange.
Great shot..great city.
Saludos
Justin

Hola Juan,
El uso del blanco y negro da un dramático quizás en contraste con la alegría y el dinamismo de la música. Me gustan los contrastes y la textura de las piedras. Bravo.
Buenos días
Saludos

I KNOW THIS INSTRUMENT WHICH LIKES AS ELLIPTICAL BALL. I READ THAT SOME SWITZERLAND GUYS MAKE IT UNDER ORDER AND YOU HAVE TO WAIT AROUND 6 MONTHS TO RECEIVE IT.
ITS NAME IS "HANG".
ITS SOUND IS EXTRA TERRESTRIAL : YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE IN OUTER SPACE AND YOU HEAR THE STARS. ITS SOUND CAPTURE YOUR FEELING. I HEARD IT IN BRUGGE AND I WAS HEARING HIM FASCINATED. SOME INFO FOR IT FROM WIKIEDIA YOU CAN SEE HEAR : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hang_%28musical_instrument%29

EXCELLENT B/W MY DEAR
MANY THANKS
