Love the framing of this one! Not sure I like the guy in front with his legs cut off though, may be better to just leave guys on opposite side of the street and remove close one.
I agree with Jet regarding the cut off man. It would be easy enough to clone him out. Lovely and sharp with great exposure, your great Havana images continue to bring back great memories.
I have a total lack of respect for anything connected with society, except that which makes the roads safer, the beer stronger, the food cheaper, and the old men and old women warmer in the winter and happier in the summer. Brendan Behan
Excellent illumination, detail and sharpness. The man being cut off is an issue but more so i wish there were more bottom to this image overall. Still, as it is its a very nice piece.
Good hdr work as well.
Jet, Yeah, I looked in to that and I can remove him. The thing is, The light trails are kinda jittery to begin with for some odd reason, could be the amount of pot holes. But upon zooming in, the light trails are bugging me now. lol. New problem!
Thanks Tom. Hurry back to Havana, It just might change for ever.
Thanks Frog.
Thanks Daq
Thanks Gary, It's not so much an HDR. There was a light behind me. I actually had to tone down the interior a bit with a bit of burning.

Really Nice!! Great job. I'm going to go off on a limb here. I like the guy standing there, at first glance it almost looks like the shadow from the statue in the background is from him. Great shot.

The composition is very interesting...like it!
Agree with the others that suggested removing the guy in front with no legs tho. The tonal range and lighting is great.
My picky side says that this shot will look better without the displaced car lights.
Did you crop it? I think it will look a bit better if the crop on top was not that close to the arch and as Gary said I would also like to see a bit further down.
Great shot!

Darin, you're the exception here, hehe. Thanks for letting me know someone didn't mind that person.
Rob, Thanks. I'll look and see if I captured any without any car trails. that stretch is a bit busy and it's tough catching a carless moment unless shot really really late in the night. But come to think of it. that might have been a better shot. And I'm not sure if I shot this at different angles. If I find something, I'll post it here.

Wow, what a shot, really good. I'd have liked to have seen more foreground on the left of the shot and maybe some more light change in the cloud just above and to the right of the dome.
:thumbsup: Shootme...
Please don't edit and re-post or use my images (not that you'd want to anyway...). without my written permission. Thank you
I have been back to this so many times trying to work out what was bothering me and finally it dawned. Its the shadow behind the picture because it makes the chap with the cut off legs and the bottom of the picture look fuzzy, which I find completely distracting.
The other thing that grabbed me immediately is the red light at the top of the steps.

I think I agree that the photo would be improved with the removal of the guy and the red streak at the top. The first would be easy, the second harder I think. Still very nice...
shootme, yeah the foreground is missing. i was shooting as wide as possible and wanted to get the arches on top in. I don't remember exactly that day but I would've included the bottom had i had the chance to. I think i was using 10mm. which is the widest i got. thank u
Roger, yeah, I wish i shot this without any cars passing by or without any people in the frame. I was on the move and it looked great on that little screen when i previewed it. lol. Thanks
daq, thanks man.
