[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A shot I virtually stalked. Outside the Picasso Museum in Barcelona after a storm the night before. The potential of an unpassable alley (without getting your feet wet) was not lost on me. The result in a way puts me in mind of the Robert Capa photograph of the man himself.

PP Colorize, Contrast, Dodged face, Burnt water.

Wow !! Very nice and great PP work...
I see a little bit of Henry Cartier Bresson in this photo. One comment, the umbrulla could use a bit more room.

TFS, Frank

Hi Martin,

This shot is very natural. Natural sepia colours and natural model you have. Nice composition. TFS.

Picasso... yes, i remember him in a famous picture with a similar lined t-shirt. I like a lot this shot, with child walking in the water but... i don't understand why umbrella is open; it doesn't seem to be raining.

Very nicely captured, Martin. I love this big umbrella that seem way too big for this young fellow and he seems to be having such fun walking in the water like any kids would do. Personally, I think the kid is the star of this picture so I might have cropped the top and a bit on the left side to eliminate all of the distraction and keep our focus on the kid. The umbrella would not be in the shot fully but I think we still get the point...just a thought. Good treatment as well...actually I just noticed that so far all of the pictures you have published have this sepia b&W to it. I guess it is your style. Well done!

Excellent shot. Good composition.
