My series * _*Costa Del Sol*._* continuous
*Places and Faces*
.. to day : *_*HOMBRE*_*

We are in the older center of Torremolinos near a church in the shade.
I cannot tell you anything about this Caballero
( Spanish for Gentleman)
other than that he came in a group Spanish people .. an excursion I think..and lives most probably somewhere inland in Spain .
I asked him.. holding up my camera ( and a smile )
''Permiso ? ' 'May I ?? .. but he just kept looking to me as you see in here..
So I made this photo and than quickly moved away ... (^_^)
I realy liked his

Thanks for popping in

Ja, prachtig; zie die achterdocht "wat mot die vent met zijn camera"
Hij past goed in je frame, de achtergrondstructuur maakt hem pointing out.
Mooi John; kieken wat 't wurt vandaag!

Face of Spanish does not have, although it could well be...
Good picture.
Regards.

Nice pose and pov John. Good shot and well done.

Don

P.S.: by the way; don't be hysterical and call the AIVD (haha) when you hear nothing from me this weekend. We go to Paris for a weekend with the office. Till monday "Old Satterhand".

He has very expressive eyes and especially eyebrows! You did a great job capturing him. I would try to leave a bit more of breathable space on the right to make the person less centered.

Thanks for the continuous tour of the city. :)

Katya

i like the shot John :)
good street portrait, i think his expression is cool :)
very good colors and details in the shot, the frame is good for the shot, well done

You captured so well John.. Colors are great too... :)
Elif

Nice shot John. I like the high contrast, the colors the sharpness and the details in this one. Nice body expression you caught there.
Bravo!
Réal

Oh my gosh!!! Stop the press! A person that didn't smile at you????? I love it, John. It's perfect. He looks very tired. It was good that you move away quickly.

Love the color and lighting here. As usual, you captured both so nicely.

well done with a quick capture, I love the result, glad he didn't grab your camera.

GT

I like this one, just as well you moved away sort of quick he doesn't look like he is enjoying himself at all. Love his expression ,very well done.
Christine.

Time mixes wrongly / badly timed???
The poor fellow is most probably sick of all the tourists wanting photos!!

Nicely taken Johnnie, I'd like to see him not so cropped, showing more of the brick wall and less frame. The colours are very good, quite brilliant really. Nice and sharp too. Well done
Kia ora

Very interesting picture capture, John. Love the mood and the colors are great. Nice background texture and good lighting as well. :D
Lawrence

Hello John, I like very much this photo because of the composition, the pose of the man, his face expression, the colours.

He looks as if he was ready to leave. He's waiting for someone...

I love the brickwall as bg. Great frame as well :)

Cheers, Yan

Right? :)

This is a great photo, sharp and colorful. I love the bored expression on his face. TFS,
Fran

deze hebben we nog niet gehad denk ik in diep gepeins verzonken zou guido gezelle zeggen! het is een knappe foto met een leuke kader, van een alledaags tafereel in het zuiden, rust genieten van een straaltje zon maakt niet uit, maar ziet er lekker ontspannen uit:-)
tfs greets ed-lin

the colours and light are just perfect!!!!!!!
beautifull....the picture of course, not the man!

Perfect Wat een gezicht !
