[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The photo I present you today was taken near the «Guiness Museum», in Dublin where, in a modern city, we can fell the atmosphere of ancient days.

The title I've choosen was inspired in a traditional Irish flute tune called the «The old wheels of the world» and is dedicated to the great Irish traditional musicians,like «The Chieftains» and «The Pogues», and mostly to all those street musicians that keep alive that wonderful and rich music, and make the streets of Dublin a never end party.

To those that don’t know this kind of music I recommend the «Pogues» album «RUM, SODOMY AND THE LASH», a lot of beer (preference guiness), some friends and … for sure you'll have fun.

Hi Jose
I like your keen eye for details and your great taste for the good arts, including music. Street music is really nice as they usually chose nostalgic tunes for a better tip.
We have plenty of them over here roaming the sea front taverns and offeringa nice touch to the evenings out

You have really captured the atmosphere of yesteryear with those horses and buggies.
Your processing really does it justice.
And a guiness I'll take anytime especially today its a scorcher....Cheers

De fato voce conseguiu uma excelente atmosfera aqui.

Eu conheço um pouco a musica dos Irlandeses - Celta - , eu já ouvi a cantora Lorena Mckennitt tentarei procurar e ouvir estas.
Sua fotografia tem este belo humor mágico.

Hi Jose,
This treatment gives a nostalgic savour at this photo! My ancestors come from Ireland and this celtic music runs a little in my veins. I like it much!
If I can subject a suggestion to you, I think that you could try to reveal some details on the carriage with shadows and highlight function in PS CS3.
Bravo and thanks for sharing! Annie

A good choice of colour tone Jose. Well composed/cropped and the foreground sharpness is good.

Hello Jose,

Dublin is a wonderful city and you description of the Irish flute tune enhances the photo with a bit of background music.

Good composition and the tone does bring one back to another era.

Great shot, great note, Jose. I go to the Scottish Festival and love the Irish and Scottish reels I hear every year. TFS This photo makes me think of long years ago, not the modern bustle and hustle which is not thrilling at all to me.

adorei o balanço de B&W! A imagem está excelentemente trabalhada. The Pogues 4ever!

Ola Jose,
Well seen these old carriaes. The B&W creates a fine mood. One little nitpick; the drum in the left lower corner is a tad disturbing in my opinion. Overall a fine B&W image.
Obrigado!
Hans

Hello Jose,

Interesting collection of old carriages!
I like the feeling of this B&W capture, as the atmosphere seems real due to the effective documentary style...
Well done..!
