august 2004'not his circle of friends' by alan brown
During a holiday in Spain my wife and I had Alicante and during a stroll around the city we stopped to eat our picnic lunch in this ‘Romanesque’ park with its stone pillars, large concrete urns and several of these circular arenas connected by palm-lined walkways.
As we rested in the shade from the midday heat of the sun the elderly gentleman had also paused to sit about 30 feet in front of us. He was unaware of me as I took several shots of him when the small group of people came into view and stopped in the shade to chat.
I was rather pleased with this particular shot as the man appears to be trying to recognise someone in the party but they in turn appear to be ignoring him, hence the title. I feel that the position of the two groups provides a balance to the composition of the image as do the two areas of shade in the opposing corners of the frame.
