Back in Barcelona
Close to Barcelona's harbour and the Ramblas I noticed this Caballero (Gentleman) sitting with his cute Dog in a bench.. staring at his Cell-phone..

What could be the story behind this ? Did his Lady dumped him.. was he impatienatly waitng for his Lady to finish shopping or did she go to the Hairdresser? We will never know folks.. other than I said nicely Buenas Dias and looking at the dog.. holding up my Camera asking: Permiso ??

Sure no problem..so here wa are: One man and his Dog (TV Series in Scotland) Thanks for popping in Folks
Yours truly :
John Tulip

Dinner will be at Greek Restaurant Akropolis

Hello John,
It is true that your photo is intriguing. I like your comment. I always imagine that these small details of the everyday life must be the starting point for the writers. Also, you should cultivate this talent and write a roman, why not?
Good POV and light. Have a good day! Annie

Hi John,
Nice picture here. I like the guy and the dog, well seen. Humorous comment add and complements the shot.

Saludes,

Iris

Belle scène urbaine, j'adore la complicité entre le maitre et son chien. belles couleurs saturées et joli encadrement!

Hi John,
Very nice daily life photo.
I wish you, Yolanda, Wallie and Monique an excellent Dinner, I'm sure you will all
have a lot of fun.
Cheers
Luc

Mooi foto John...vooral de combinatie met het hondje vind erg leuk. Misschien was Z/W ook wel een mooie keuze geweest, helaas moet zometeen werken dus geen tijd voor een WS.

Ha John,

A real nice origional Tulip Picture! I think this is your thing. People just dooing their things nbot knowing that you take the picture.

Good job John,

Hendrik

Great perspective John with the railings on the bench and the joins in the flagstones creating the diagonals. Good natural colours. For mine he is waiting rather impatiently for a lady :). TFS
David

Hi John,
Great notes! I guess we will never know what he was thinking at that time. Beautifully composed with deep warm colours. I can't wait for the DVD and while you're there order a Souvlaki & a Mythos for me too!

Well done :)

Great photo, colorful and crisp, excellent frame work. TFS,
Fran

Hi John,
Another great daily life shot from Barcelona Streets.Nice colors,pov,composition,
focus,sharpness,conrast,note and frame.TFS
CT

The man and the dog are the same color! :) They say we come to look like our dogs, or was that spouses that we start to look like. Hmmm. Now I'm confused.

Anyway, this is another nice, "solid" photo - well-grounded, composed, etc. That is one long dog! :)

Gayle :)

Good photo good story
The dachshund really underlines the modd in here .
Good observation John. I have another idea: maybe he is not atall what you think, he could be gay.
But than the same questions can be made :-)
Groet
Rob
ps
was het gezellig gisteren met Don en Monique?

Hi John

Once again a great one - I like the compo here - You have taken a everyday moment and captured it perfectly.

Cheers
Brendon

Good capture from daily life John! Good color tones in your shot. Your note makes it more interesting and funny :) Thanks for good observation
Elif

Great note and super candid pic. Your info is very readable and thats part of the fun on this site, tfs.

Hi John
Great shot with that note. That added a lot to the shot.
Thanks

Hallo John.
Schitterend. een opname waar je bij het maken al plezier beleef. Alleen al het beeld doet je glimlachen en dat doe je thuis nog eens over als je dit ziet.
Groots.
Frans

I used to watch "One man and his Dog" on the TV, It was amazing the way those dogs would obey their owners. Not sure if this dog would be the same though :) He does look as if he is enjoying the sun here. Well captured John

I love your compo here, John. The higher PoV serves well for obscuring the surroundings which might have been distracting, instead you filled the picture with uniform brown hues - and your subject(s). A nice candid shot, even though the man knew you were going to shoot him. Well done, TFS.

Good photo with a very good composition, luckily it was a sausage dog and not a husky, otherwise you might have just had the tail, or one ear and half a snout, or dog blurring picture! Man's tan matches his dog's hair!

good street photo John :)
i like this, a moment in time captured, and its an image that cannot be recreated :)
good work

Beautiful picture
I like shadows projected in the sidewalk
they are perfect, the great colors and details
big.
Congratulations for the picture.

Sérgio

Hi John, this is very nice. What a great moment you caught here. The composition is perfect, so is the distance between you and the subject. Good space on each sides.

Very well done! Take care, sis. :)

Your are an expert on creating moods, John!
The dog really works well in your composition!
Maybe a bit of flash to highlight the dogs face?

Bien vu!
Bon dimanche.
Alain

hello john,
thanks for your visit.
love this photo of a moment of relaxation and intimacy.good use of the color and the expressions on the faces of your subjects.

This is quite the appealing shot John! I love the little dog, and the impatient owner. The photo is cropped very well, and the frame looks good. But you always have good frames. All in all a very adorable photo!

Tfs,

Biance.

Gewoon een heerlijk schouwspel John.
