I like the almost silhouette character with the light playing on the lips and face, but its a bit too contrasty for me and the half corpse in white distracts from the main subject. > > Olympic Stadium (Barcelona) > <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/luisrq/Barcelona/L1027496_1BN.jpg.html> > M8, Elmarit 24mm Asph Ok, but does not really open up a story or create enough drama to be a 'graphic' image for me > > Carrer Santa Anna > <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/luisrq/Barcelona/L1027474BN.jpg.html> > M8, Summilux 35 pre asph > > Dance > <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/luisrq/Barcelona/L1026847BN.jpg.html> > M8, Summilux 75mm I love the way you use the background to tie in with so many of your shots, and you clearly like to use them to create humour and give some character to the subject. The first one gives such dramatic tension to the image with the 'man' pulling away from the smoking lady. Great. In the second, there is the hint of her hands dancing to really make a great shot, but she is too peripheral IMO to quite 'pull it off'. Nice series Alastair
