Jagar,

I came back to this image while I was looking at another portfolio and wanted to say this about it, and believe me, I speak the truth.

When I think of HCB and what he would do in a situation, I think of many of his images while I'm standing at the street corner, or waiting an hour for the right person to step into the scene.

I also think of this image...but, and this is where I must be honest, I often forget that this shot does not belong to Henri...it belongs to you! I literally get you and HCB confused.

If someone ever said the latter to me, I can't imagine how I'd feel, so just know that I find this to be an amazing image, and one that I think of daily as an example of the finest street photography.

Thanks for sharing, wonderful scene. On the technical account a bit soft but I don't care.

Flaps up, clear for take off! You've drawn everything to the stare, wonderfully hypnotic.

Great processing here; the deep blacks work very well with the image.
(from the processing and letterbox border I would guess this is Bear_Music but I'm not sure..) I was sort of doubting he had gone to Sri Lanka...

Comment by dtremain:
The music director is too easy to miss, and is crucial to tying the shot to "music". The picture is quite "busy" with lots of focal points. The points do tie nicely together in tone and interest.

The best parts are the single gull in the distance and that wisp of water breaking over in the foreground. Excellent balance, both on their parts and yours.

Darn brilliant. Either staged or the priest is quite a nice guy (or he threw an aspersory at you an instant later, I know a few that would)
