Número Premiat, a photo from Barcelona, Catalogne

Photographer's Note

Mare de Déu! Pot ser? Soc milionari! Cada dissabte, un somni naix.

Still combing through some old photos and this one reminded me a bit (just superficially) of Sasa's recent post, The Lottery Ticket.

Allow me to suggest a couple of ideas for this photo... first, rotating to get that central vertical line straight. Then, maybe try black and white - I'm not sure, but I think it could work better and make more timeless, and not let the yellow distract us from the most interesting part, which is the man's gesture, imho.

Thank you for the reminder... my winning (or losing ;-) lottery ticket is only on the screen, not in my hand, unfortunately. Thanks for the reference, Hugh. This man reminds me of myself, really, when it comes to choosing a ticket... I take such pains "feeling it out", and often come out as a winner... of 3 dollars or so... :-)
Love the elegance of the gentleman and the right-hand side of the frame pulling us in to the lure of this innocent gamble.
