    Great capture of color and shape Cristóbal! B&W not needed here...
    What really caught eye is the contrast in cultural activity - the traditional and the non - of the two young men.
    It seems that everybody has their head buried in portable electronic device these days!
    Fun shot!

    I like the shot and the two guys with attention on anything but selling balloons. I think I would crop in tighter, the people in background are distracting and empty space on left not needed. Maybe lighten up the faces a bit if possible. Seems a tad underexposed. Nice capture of these guys lost in their other worlds.

    Thanks for the comments and suggestions, I will give them a try.

    Hey Cristóbal,

    I love the color palette in this shot. I swear, though, I can't see any difference between the two versions as far as cropping goes.....looks identical to me.

    Please don't tell me that my old eyes are failing me:D

    Take care,

    Tom
    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    Thanks Tom,

    Your eyes are not failing you. The original version was a rectangular crop that had more space on the left, the second version is a square, tighter crop. What happens is that when I upload the revised version to my site, for a while dgrin shows both versions, but eventually it reverts to the current one on all links posted.

    I have to say I really love this shot. The colors are what really make it though. If the balloons didn't show off such positive colors I think it would have been a bit drab. They really make the guy playing on the guitar look cool though. Nice, work, thanks for sharing.
