Costa del Sol
My Series * Places and Faces * proceeds.

What do we see?!?
A nice Spanish Lady..with the name *Toņi*
Toņi works in Hotel Aloha Puerto Sol(4 stars) .. where we use to go the last 7-8 years two times a year. Bye now most of the persons working there became friends. To start with Paco (Francesco) on left;Chef de Restauant and head Wine chef!
Than..second from left ' moi' holding Toņi ( not to fall) 3 standing Frans(Holland) 4 standing Wil (Holland) and 5 !!!a TL member: Ed-Lin !! and 6 Hans (Holland)
Toņi was not used to this kind of honor and we really had to push her down in the chair.
She is VERY guest-friendly.. has a good eye for
what-when and how she can help We all liked her very much: Toņi is as she looks VERY kind and charming.
Toņi... Hasta Mayo 2006 and again thanks for all your good service, and same goes for Paco ..whi is ( like I am ) a proud GrandFather of a cute little girl named Maria ( 2 years of age ) Abrazo Paco !

Hello my friend, such a lovely photo and I join Fran by saying that yes, of course, I would have also guessed that there would be a nice lady in it;) I like the red frame which gives the image a very festive feel.
Regards,
Shelly:)

Hello !

Great tanned team! It is a lovely feeling to enjoy vacation with friends. Thanks for sharing your memories with TL friends.

PS. Toņi seems to work too much. She is the only one sitting and she is looking a bit tired and pale compared to you guys!

Hi John. A very nice photo indeed, full of warmth and companionship. In our camera clubs they say max 7 elements in an image - well, 7 people does the trick. Composition is also very strong and dynamic (you created a suggestive triangle with the placement of the people).

I like the colour of the frame - it tones the image down (possitively) so that the attention is drawn to the lady, afterall, she is in the brightest area in the image. Only one thing I noticed - the pointing finger of the left hand appears amputated. That is one of the things about portrait photography that I fear the most - to include hand(s) in the image; they always poses a threat to me.

Nice group shot John, well done, crisp and clean as usual.
