Column Kid

A lovely portrait of a friend's son - taken at the legendary 'Colonnes de Burrel'.

Like 'em or loathe 'em, you have to admit they make a great photographic backdrop, even if a few of them need a bit of a touch up.

I've placed him firmly on the right - quite obvious, but correct, I think, given the strictness of both his pure white jacket and the rectitudinal sternness of the black and white columns.

In the middle of a pic this straight on pose would be a disaster, but here, thrown off centre, and echoed by the receding columns it works very well.

His head's also nicely framed by a couple of columns, and the stripes on his t-shirt contrast pleasantly with the vertical stripes of the pillars.

He's wearing a great expression too! One cool dude! Nice one...
