[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Within the very busy Plaza de Catalunya at the heart of the city of Barcelona stands this pretty white marble statue. It has a very busy sorrounding so I turned it into black and white and the darkened the whole background.

The Plaça de Catalunya, a large plaza surrounded by monumental buildings, is Barcelona's busiest square. It is located between the old city (Ciutat Vella) and the 19th century Eixample district. Barcelona's two most famous streets, the Rambla (a wide promenade in the old city) and the Passeig de Gracia (a grand showcase of modernist architecture in Eixample) start at the Plaça de Catalunya.

Even though the square is enormous in size, it is constantly crowded with people walking to and from one of the nine streets emanating from the square.

the statue, framing and and the ilumination are very nice, but I find lack of focus.

May I suggest using manual focus to you ?

Using 1/320 F:9, simply focus 3 to 5 meters, and you´ll get sharp images

Wonderful use of light.
