Of all the shots I took in Barcelona this is the one that Libby likes least but, for some reason that I can't quite explain, it's close to being my favourite from all the ones I'll be putting up.

I hope you weren't debasing this poor man with your voyeuristic shot Dave...

Simple, but very effective. Nice one!

How dare you post a photo of someone's legs!?! How Risk-ay! That is objectifying runners with high knee socks!!
Thanx for the laugh!

comment byDanton at 01:10 PM (GMT) on 13 September, 2008
And I was also going to comment on the fact that this shot of male legs made me feel debased . . . OK, at least many of us have a sense of humor to go with our appreciation of the beauty of female legs in the earlier post!
comment bymicha at 03:03 PM (GMT) on 13 September, 2008
It is so sad and at the same time it is so uncomfortable funny and I cannot think about a better representation of "the tourist". Nice job (however would love to see that pic in B&W).
I really like this one, too. It's amazing how you can tell it's a tourist just by looking at the knees down ;-)

One thing that always strikes me about many of your photos is how sharp and clean they look. Obviously good quality lenses are part of that formula - but having good quality glass myself, I don't seem to be able to achieve that. I suspect alot of this has to do with post-processing and raw conversion. Do your tutorials cover this?
