[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note [Spanish]
In this corner next to the cathedral always there is somebody playing, normally a Piper. The street musicians are a part of the life in Santiago reason why I decided to portray one of them in this so beautiful surroundings. I decide to make the photo at afternoon when the sun enters by the arc in the side to the Praza do Obradoiro creating a backlighting with i try to get an atmosphere more magician to the photo. I must use a high ISO number what unfortunately creates a visible noise in the photo although i think it did not seem very ugly.

Hola Xavier
Les jeux d'ombre et de lumière sont admirables et procurent une belle texture à la pierre. Your high point of view over this scene is gorgeous! A wise choice of backlight enhancing the mood.
A winner!
Saludos.

Hi Xavier, Welcome to TL. Your composition shows an interesting and entertaining part of streetlif. The setting is excellent and the idea of having a passerby dropping a few euros into his bag works well. TFS. Murray.
