This, to me, is a superb image. Capturing life as it still is in parts of Cuba but seen through a frame which on one side is a view from 'classic' to 'classic' - the world within emulated outside. In the right frame we have a street seen with Cubans sitting around, immersed in their world. Almost in a time capsule. It is a gritty image with great contrasts, tones and an inimitable street scene.
This is an image which encapsulates life and atmosphere. The processing is superb and the framing casts people and a carousel into an otherworldly scene. I love the contrasts and tones from black to white and lots of misty shades of grey. Ambience and feeling that life is to be lived and enjoyed. An outstanding shot!
I have seen it before and I will see it again! This is one of the best street images portraying a good laugh, joke or just a moment of camaraderie with friends. The boys have been having fun on the street and the image captures them very sharply and the laughter is almost palpable. A great shot, I love it!
She has accepted her fate! What an atmosphere! The image capture a moment in life which portrays a very human response to the elements, which are out of her control. This is a really great street shot which is emotional and candid. The intense rain shower creates a wonderful atmosphere and, despite the rain, the image is clear and well composed.
