I see you have others on this boy. Maybe you could post several together so we can discuss this. What are your own thought about this boy?

I find him intriguing? Is he your son? It seems that in one other image he was actually posing for you, or did you just catch him like that?

Museo Guggenheim Bilbao at sunset.

This picture has a lot more detail to explore and needs for it's full appreciation a larger image, say 800 pixel's wide at least. The architecture is interesting but crammed into a small space so a large image would help. Furthermore, the scene is very important. A superb architectural landmark, impressive without even entering. Then an impressive reiver view stretch to the horizon. We would have love to also see more land around this to provide a regional seeting for this richness. Maybe you have more!

I really enjoy these pictures and they educate me as to where I need to visit!

Geometrics here are captivating. Are there more?

Thanks so much Tim for sharing!

Hi Asher,

I do not pose my subjects unless it's a photocall. I don't think I have the same boy in any other frame. It's just a boy which was just been subsituted in the game.

Thanks for the comment.

P.S. FYI, this site is rather slow to access these days

Well, Tim,

the pictures of a boy by himself with the others in the b.g. is a great subject. The other image of the boy crouching seemd to do well with this as it is so related. sometimes a related 2-4 is helpful in expressing a theme! I like the subject and the brown colors.

Asher

P.S. Sorry about the slowness! Post in OPF look and Feel to see if this is a new issue or something we can address. If the slowness is in posting. click "Go Advanced" and that will post faster!

I shot the soccer scene at a public school in Gernika during sunset, while waiting for someone. It's basically wide open at f/1.4 on the 24mm f/1.4L

Hi Tim,

I like that lens! Seems pretty good wide open. I haven't seen a lot of work with this. How is it for flare?

Somehow, Lecia lenses seem to be amazingly resistant to flare! So I get the bad habit of shooting into the sun. I notice it now on non-Leica lenses!
