Bella, Nico!! sembra di averlo davanti, di persona!! Quegli occhi azzurri, quell'espressione quasi un po' assente, captata in una frazione di secondo con un semplice"click", fanno immaginare una vita trascorsa in maniera non facile e straordinariamente intensa. Chissà se poi è così veramente....
E' comunque un'immagine straordinaria... Trasmette qualcosa! Bella davvero. Bravo!

No, no, it's the pastries in the background that are extravagant. :-)

I LOVE your shots - all of them! *singing 'every little thing you do is magic!'* Extravagant in every way! It draws me immediately into the faded blue eyes, the cigarette clutched in dirty, long-nailed hands and to mention the eyebrows and beard is redundant.

Congrats on the top 10! Way to go! I agree it is a fabulous shot! I love people shots and you captured him so perfectly. You, dear friend have my vote! Congratulations!

latricia wrote on Jun 14

I had a hard time choosing between yours, Sento, and SweetP. All 3 of you had unremarkable entries!
I literally had an internal debate with myself as to who to vote for, because I saw the beauty and the theme clearly with all 3 of you.
However, I finally made up my mind to vote for yours.
Something about his facial expression, as if that cigarette is the most delightful experience he has ever had, joy dancing within his eyes, that hat that looks a little extravagant in itself in comparison to the rest of his clothing and unkempt facial hair, and then the cigarette ... besides tobacco prices increasing, the cigarette in itself is the truly most extravagant thing in this picture and among all the entries because not only is it high in monetary value but eventually he could be paying for that cigarette with his life ... which is the highest cost for anything in this world. So yes, this one is the most extravagant!
Sento's shot amazed me with the angle he caught it at and SweetP's ability to capture the lure of the casino pulled me in.
But in the end it was your picture that I felt had so many different variations as to what extravagant is in it, you caught 3 different extravagant items in one shot, the look of extravagance on his face revealed in his eyes, the hat upon his head, and the ultimate price for that cigarette in his hand.
I hope you win, hands down!! Good luck!
