Well Gary, As said on my comments, initially I was wondering a human  
on the composition, but after a hile I think that the abstract  
elements that make the geometry of lught and forms on the composition  
has enought personnality alone. I should loock if I have more pictures  
on this location with somebody and show to the LUG.

Thanks again,
Saludos cordiales
Lluis
