Barrio / Neighborhood

El Raval. A neighborhood born from the enlargement of the medieval wall. Sometimes picturesque, sometimes rogue, multicultural. A veritable encyclopedia of life.A neighborhood which I enjoy to pass whenever I have a chance
Love this one! Really draws the eye through the scene. Looks like a cool place!

@polarvrtx Thank you very much. It is an interesting neighborhood full of contrasts.
@jlady Thank you very much. Yes I shooted at 35mm but with zoom kit lens. IMO if you are not shoting in the city as landscapes, 35 or 50mm are good for street photography. :)
@jamie_m thank you very much
@roseolivia thank you very much
@shailestha thank you very much.
@anazad511 muchas gracias Ana. Paso a veces por esta calle y le tenía el ojo echado al callejón. Hoy al verlo mojado y con la bici he decidido hacerle una foto. Durante el fin de semana, los vecinos hacen un mercadillo de segunda mano en este callejón, muy interesante también. :)
@kporte thank you very much.

great wet street scene, even more dramatic in b/w!

Is this your bike? It is such an important element in the composition.

@altadc Thank you very much
@joansmor Thank you very much Joan, I'm very honored. I started to love street photography at the moment I started to "see" the work of great photographers like : Capa, Cartier-BResson, Català - Roca, Miserachs and many more. It's a kind of funny photography where you take a lot of bad / unusable shot, but a few good. I one day you came to Barcelona I'll be glad to take you on a street photography photowalk :)
@ukandie1 Thank you very much. When I saw this alley, I saw a lot of things of these interesting neighborhood condensed on a "small tar" :)
@irisn Thank you very much. IMO b/w works well with street photography with the absence of distracting colors :)
@yaorenliu Thank you very much. This isn't my bike, Mine is a urban folding bike smaller. I'm glad you noticed the bike because this one of the recent / contemporary elements added to the neighborhood.
@sangwann Thank you very much for your kind comments.
