Another winter morning with that kind of strong sunlight. It seemed to me that bit of softer focus could bring some of that "aged" look, but I am not sure about it, when I look at it now. Any comments would be very welcome.
Sorry, I accidentally clicked on the button to send the comment, instead of clicking inside the comment input box, Gustavo. So I start again.

Exactly Gustavo! Much like when you see against the sunlight and everything seems to bath in a plentitude of light and broken shines. It is the same thing physically but there will be exactly as many different perceptions as there are different eyes and minds on this world. So again we come to the conclusion that it is *how* we shoot some image of something. For example this scene, it is really anything else than "unusual" or "spectacular". Just an ordinary city and ordinary people. But there is an endless variation of ways of how to take this shot, and sometimes even Nick can achieve some kind of "good look". In his own mind, that is! ;-)
Thanks a lot!
Nick

Another though: The best portraitists are always able to take an image of a face in such a way that it remains "real" but it also looks great at the same time. They seem to be able to recognize automatically the best possible exposure, light, shadow, etc that makes a face unforgetable. Same must also apply to scenes, I think.
A ver, las condiciones del lugar varian permanentemente, solo ir a una hora distinta ya cambia la foto.
Más aún, dos fotógrafos en el mismo lugar y a la misma hora no van a hacer la misma foto, porque todos tenemos una mirada distinta. No es fantasía, son diferentes formas de "ver". La mirada del fotógrafo y digo, del artista, siempre es subjetiva, por lo cual las fotos no solo hablan de lo que muestran, sino también del ojo detrás de la cámara, del fotógrafo, de la persona...esto es lo que a mí me parece interesante.
Yes, much like when you look against the real sunlight, Gustavo. And so the question remains: Get some real view of it, or rather seek for refuge in the domains of fantasy worlds? Big question to me!
