The gallery is fantastic, I like all the photos posted. For this picture, I do not think you have the skills to appreciate or criticize it. We say it's a shot that I wanted to do myself. I can not see anything special, but the more I look the more I like.

Ciao Riccardo, sfrutto questa immagine per farti i complimenti sul reportage cubano,alcune immagini mi son piaciute molto, forse questa e' una di quelle che ha meno fascino rispetto le altre, mi piace la scelta del bn, visto che eri a Cuba e i colori sono unici e' un azzardo che per me che sono un bianconerista è assolutamente gradito. Su questa immagine in particolare non mi sento di dirti molto, non e' una foto che mi dice gran che, ripeto altre sono molto piu' significative, ma forse hai messo questa proprio per toglierti anche tu dei dubbi,poi come dico sempre io, quello che piace a me non piace alla maggior parte delle persone quindi rispetto sempre tutto e tutti. Il bianconero invece mi piace molto, ben contrastato ma a parte le auto in movimento non riesco a coglierne il fascino,mi manca qualcosa da osservare che mi faccia dire woow in una sola immagine, presa nel reportage invece ci sta. Ovviamente gusto personale.

I complimenti comunque per il lavoro svolto sono d'obbligo.

Buona serata

Pier

Hello Richard, the image is well crafted from a technical point of view (composition, Bw, when caught), but I agree with Pierangelo, missing some distinctive feature that elevates the picture.
For now I am limited in this photo gallery, weather permitting, I'm curious to see the rest of the images.

Wow, I was allowed to look through the tunnel before leaving a comment !!!!!

I must say that I found a couple of pictures in my fantastic ...... I put this as 3th in a hypothetical podium of this gallery ..... I 'liked the use of the BN and the grain in some photo.

there is the photo taken with wide angle to a moving car on the boardwalk that I find really amazing!

compliments!!!!

Congratulations I really like this photo. The static nature of the city in contraposizione to the dynamism of the machines. And the writing covered by the machine in the second line that gives the viewer to discover what is missing starting a process of looking for details that this image offers.

The photo is interesting and also very dynamic, my impression is that the car on the right is a little too close to the edge of the frame, but I understand that this is a subject caught on the fly so it was not easy to do otherwise.

Grazie a tutti per il passaggio e per l'apprezzamento!

La foto in sé non ha grosse pretese se non, a mio parere, quella di rappresentare bene una certa estetica cubana, caratteristica questa meno superficiale di quanto si possa credere.
Questa apparente banalità, il traffico di grosse berline americane anni '50 sullo sfondo delle scritte della propaganda "raccomandata" dal regime, si può osservare solo qui e in nessun'altro luogo al mondo.
Meno superficiale e banale di quanto sembri, dicevo: le vecchie auto sintetizzano molto bene la "fatica di vivere" cubana (l'arte di arrangiarsi con benzina costosissima e viveri razionati, mobilità difficoltosa, veicoli antiquati e raffazzonati...) mentre la propaganda, presenza costante e ingombrante, è fortemente voluta da un regime che controlla ogni aspetto, in ogni momento, della vita dei cubani, i quali vengono costantemente chiamati a dimostrare un entusiasmo ed un affetto esagerati, quasi caricaturali, per i valori e i personaggi rivoluzionari.
In alcuni casi questo affetto appare sincero, i molti cubani con cui ho parlato non mancano mai di sottolineare gli aspetti positivi del socialismo (casa e lavoro per tutti, sanità e istruzione gratuite...).
Ma è molto difficile capire come stiano veramente le cose per uno straniero... all'Avana c'è un proverbio che dice: "i cubani dicono la verità solo in macchina", e cioè al riparo da orecchie indiscrete...

pretty interesting shot. I had a look to the entire gallery, we congratulations. Beautiful composition and bn. I like the choice to give dynamism to the driven machine. I find it hangs a bit 'to the left. Hello

Riccardo, intanto bentornato! ;-) Ho dato prima uno sguardo a tutta la galleria e ti faccio i complimenti. Un ottimo reportage, dove sei riuscito a condensare dei particolari, che probabilmente nei prossimi anni saranno solo un ricordo, in modo molto personale e profondo.
Riguardo a questo scatto, lo trovo affascinante, e ammetto che dopo aver letto il tuo commento ha ulteriormente acquistato di valore. Inizialmente non mi ha particolarmente colpito (rispetto ad altre foto della galleria) perché è tutto un po' "tagliato", dallo slogan, alle macchine, per quanto ho molto apprezzato il mosso che rende la scena dinamica. Insomma la composizione mi era sembrata un po' approssimativa. Tuttavia la forza dello scatto sta nell'idea e nell'accostamento tra le vetture anni '50 che sfrecciato davanti allo slogan "LIBRES", quindi dapprima il controsenso e successivamente una lettura più "ironica" dopo il proverbio "i cubani dicono la verità solo in macchina".

The photo is nice, I like the movement of machinery and the background; it looks like an old photo.
I cut differently: the pole crashed the Cuban flag on the left and after the wall there is nothing interesting (except machines). Maybe taking two steps to the left and reframing so you do not have the pole in front of the flag would have been better, but perhaps you would have lost the diagonal of the road.

Richard, welcome back ;-)
Shooting I do not mind, there is the PDR and the tail that did not like the car that comes out right, I must say that instead makes dynamic shooting.
A glimpse of the life of other places, but traffic? Where? not received traffic :-D

Hello Riccardo.

I also allowed myself to look other photos of this interesting gallery and I would say that this picture is 'penalized' by the presence of others who are of a different thickness ;-) Obviously IMHO. Mind you, not that this is bad, not only has the communicative power of the other.

Congratulations for the beautiful work.

I find that the idea of ??letting the crisp background to bring out the importance of the written is very good. With a panning you'd reproduced the movement, but you would have lost a key. Good choice from. The movement is still represented by the cars themselves. I would say that is an interesting shooting managed as best you could.

shooting is superb, from all points of view.
composition, PDR, pp, bn .. all impressive.
This is Travel reportage written in large letters.
hast you not limited to represent the typical Cuban cars whizzing by on the streets of the city, but you have contextualized everything including the Cuban flag in center of frame.
compliments really, I wish I did this shot!

Before I read what you wanted to be in this shot the message had already arrived loud and clear. The photos really speaks for itself. Technically everything seems to be directed to the message, or moving cars seem to represent the go ahead of the people in spite of everything and the enormous written in the background talk about inaction of policy. Compliments.

intanto il lavoro complessivo mi è piacuto, e secondo il mio banalissimo punto di vista, hai una predisposizione nell'avvicinarti ai soggetti e quindi saresti in grado di alzare il tuo livello (secondo la mia opinione) perseverando in questa strada, nella strada che tu hai descritto.
Lo scatto in questione è uno di quelli che mi è piaciuto meno, anzi diciamo che è al disotto del contenuto tecnico complessivo.Tutta la storia sulle macchine cubane ecc ecc. le lasciamo ai fotografi del National geo.. ma trovo che lo scatto anche se PProdotto bene poteva essere meglio bilanciato in ripresa.Le auto occupano la parte laterale del fotograramma, la scritta bianca frontale non essendoci un punto di forza di attrazzine ti "obbiliga" a leggere per capire se nasconde un signifitato. A mio avviso doveva essere uno scatto dove l'auto, le auto occupano quasi la totalità del fotogramma o per quantità o per grandezza.
Naturalmente rimango in attesa del resto dell'ottimo lavoro svolto.

ciao
rob
