A capture made in Santiago de Compostela (Spain). I'm a "black & white" guy, so I'm

experimenting with joining the plasticity of color with the flavor of black & white film.

Thanks for your time.

Well, it's pretty poor. On a technical level the shutter speed was too low, and the selective colour treatment looks awful and doesn't make any sense. But that's just detail, it's unimportant compared to the art, and in this case there's no emotional content, no feeling, no character. It's just a slightly creepy candid shot of a nobody looking at a lot of icons on their laptop. There's no connection with the subject on any level. The composition is awkward, and my eyes keep drifting towards the paper towel dispenser. I can't think of any great photographs that used a paper towel dispenser as a major compositional element, and this isn't the first. It doesn't even work as voyeuristic pornography.
