    1. Juxtaposition or contradiction?

    Hi, great shots from Barcelona, in No 1 the large man walking into the shot is a distraction and in No 3 I would of waited until the lady was in the door, that’s just me I’m sure someone else will say different, in No 2 were the chairs empty because they were charging Irish prices for coffee and cake?

    Thanks for the comments Redfox. I agree on you comment on #1, taking him out seems to reduce the tension in the shot too. I selected this one from the few I took on the basis of the contradictions and imbalances – it just seemed to make the shot more interesting than a clear view.

    On #3, I took a few different shots with no one being there and with people walking past – I felt that door wasn’t really interesting, so selected the one with someone walking in to add a dynamic element and to add a little of a view of the inside. For #3, I didn’teven see a place that was serving, let alone prices! At this time of the year I guess that there ain’t much business off the beaten track.

    I like the second one, lovely colours for an urban shot of this type. Interesting Juxtaposition of infrastructures, to use your own word.

    For the third, pity you didn’t get a pic of someone exiting, the face of La Bastarda……would need to be brave to take that shot I admit.

    Thanks for the comments Liam. Someone may ahve got a surprise if they found me standing with a camera facing them as they exited the bar!
