I?ve missed the perfect composition here, but also I?ve made a mistake in the cropping when I was trying avoid the lamp on the right, here I?ve posted it with almost the original framing, but even so it is not perfect! <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/luisrq/Barcelona/20150117_L1002532+1.jpg.html> Thank you very much again, always we can learn through our mistakes!
