Barcelona Street Statue

Ahoy!

One from Barcelona. Cropped with the most minimal of pp . . more-or-less out of the can! I wish all my images came out this good!

This guy was amazing. You couldn't see him breathe, move or anything. Absolutely fantastic stuff.

Re: Barcelona Street Statue

Barcelona is a very nice city, I would recommend anyone to go there. Was this picture taken on Les Rambles? There were loads of street performers there when I went.

Make sure you go and see the Sagrada Família while you are out there. (If that's where you are now)


Oh and nice picture.

Re: Barcelona Street Statue

Les Rambles . . yes indeed it was. Facinating place.

Re: Barcelona Street Statue

Great shot, I think I saw him last year there!
So, is the Sagrada Família finished yet? Still waiting to get some shots with the scaffolding gone

Re: Barcelona Street Statue

I've seen some great shots from you in the past pirate, but this has to be the best of your work thus far.. The sharpness and detail in the portrait is out of this world.

I think it will be finished in about 20 years.

I am humbled by your comments, but knew as soon as I reviewed it on the camera it was a bit of a corker. I'm even more surprised as I took it in low JPEG quality setting due to my 1Gb CF card running out of space as most of my images were in RAW. I've since bought a 4Gb card.
