There is a beauty to this world and some images can capture the magic moment to it.
While looking for a picture that resonated with me, I found “Latin Quarter” by Hernán Piñera. This picture reminded me of the magical aspects of the world such discovering or exploring a new place with someone you consider special.
When looking at “Latin Quarter” by Hernán Piñera, your eyes are pulled to the vibrant colors and lights, the reflections on the stone, and the people. I wanted to bring users to fixating on what I considered was a critical part of the image which was the couple in the bottom right which can be seen below this sentence.
The couple is what I envisioned the moment between two people were you are “the main characters”. The world revolves around you and you’re living in the moment with that special person. That’s where the magic is truly created and the moment a lot of people look forward to with their partner.
We should all strive to have that magic moment. It doesn’t matter if it’s with someone else or by yourself. You’ll know when you have it because it’ll become a memory of a moment in your life that you’ll be able to recall.
Seek the world and learn something new everyday. That’s how you’ll get those moments.
Hi Humberto! The picture you chose is beautiful. I love the way the different colored lights shine on the shiny brick lined street. I think the first picture did not really have a focus, so the fact that you picked out the couple and decided to focus on them was really great. I think your cropping definitely highlighted the couple and changed the meaning behind the photograph.
If you were looking for a different way to crop this photograph, there is also very beautiful architecture in this photograph. One suggestion would be to crop the dark center building in the back of the photo and frame the red neon light in the lower corner to provide some color to the photo. Since this photograph was taken at night, zooming too far in will result in poor image quality, so this may be a challenge.
