Hi Frederic,

hello Frederic,
I like the feel of this one. The composition with the guitar seeming to point towards the young man. he holds his hand up to his body, as if to express emotion or for metaphorical protection.Perhaps the emotion of the music is too strong for him. Whater...there is a story to be imagined hear and that is what I like. Looks good in b & w.I have added to my theme "favourites 2010".
