    Old Havana

    What do you think? I think the reds were introduced to the scene from the brake lights of a car behind me, not quite sure, might have been a light also.

    I like the framing and aspect in this shot and the bareness of the street, fits the mood of the lighting. Good job.

    Re: Old Havana

    Down in the red light district again, I thought you gave that up for this year

    I do like the composition and the way that the streets leads you through the picture.

    I just wish it was a tad lighter on the right edge to make the building and the colour stand out just a wee bit more.

    Re: Old Havana

    I knew you had more Havana photos to share What I find especially intriguing about this shot is the way you have light coming from all 4 directions. The long shadows in the foreground then up the street a bit on the right, further along on the left and the lights coming at you from all the way at the far end. Don't know if you planned it that way or just got lucky, but it works! I wouldn't change a thing. :thumbsup:

    Just great. Can't tell if the right edge crop would be better or worse...

    Awesome shot. I really like the shadows on the left side. Nice work.

    Really good composition, light, dof. I don't want to find a nit-pik.
    It looks to be right out of the early-mid 20th century/

    Re: Old Havana

    Thanks Chris

    Roger, haha, it ain't easy giving up ones number 1 hobby. and thanks

    Jetrim, Thanks, i have more of Havana, I just got back from there Yeah, i noticed that light coming from all direction but only upon viewing this. I only shot it cause I loved the light patterns on the walls coming from the windows, it was nice and dark also. Just the kind of scene I love capturing.

    Dray, thanks!

    Thanks Greg

    Frog thanks man.
