Blue and Grey, a photo from La Habana, West

Photographer's Note

I took a lot of building/car shots in Cuba, and although this is of niether a particularly interesting building or car (by Cuban standards) I like it the most because I like the effect of the two patches of blue being about the only colour in it. It's also a typically Cuban scene, with trailing wires, and the look of slight but managable dilapidation.

Isabelle, I tried doing dealing with angles in the way you suggested for the guitarist, but again, I prefer the original version. I'll try that again though.

I see what you mean about the two parts being blue. It sort of balances out the photo nicely. Well seen. The buildings seem to have some distortion though. Not sure how that was accomplished. Overall, a very nice view.

I am amazed to discover the resemblance between the blocks of flats here and in Cuba, Richard! Suppose we developed some certain style of building during "that" period... I like the two vibrant blue spots in your picture. The wires are a common sight, going together with the blocks, so I find this shot a very informative one. Well done!

I love the car and the haphazard powercables, and how it balances with the sky :)
Cuba is a treasure trove of vintage cars
Its Mambo Kings in real life :)
