The Beachcomber

by davidstorm

Been away from these parts for a while........... not much time to pick up the cameras, but I took my K-5iis to Barcelona last weekend and was rewarded by some pretty stormy weather on Saturday morning. Perfect for a de-saturated look and a shot of this old local man combing the beach.

Nice misty atmospheric shot, the figure plays a major role in the image and it works well.

Actually, having the 'W' hotel in the background helps to balance it!
