Certainly a contrasting population, I wonder who are happier?

Sums up what we noticed. Our guide for a morning in Havana supported his wife, two daughters, parents and wife's parents on his earnings as a guide. His good friend is a qualified endocrinologist who if practicing would earn $25/month (as do all professions) but he owns an old American car and drives tourists around for $25/hour. No contest.

That would crop very nicely from the left, one brick behind the right shoe, Andrew.

Aside from that, your picture makes a poignant social comment and I love the shadow of a hand and forearm.

You're right Mark. I nearly did, but I liked the shadow of the hand on the drain cover so I didn't as I like to maintain the 4:3 aspect ratio!

Yes, English speaking seemed to be a passport to better earning. Let's see some pictures!

Does "HSC" stand for, Havana Sity Council?
Edit: Why not simply select all and scale a tad to left and still retain the shadow of the hand and aspect ratio - the old guy could use some extra meat on his bones too.

Nicely seen and captured it certainly shows the difference between the haves and have nots.

I have to agree with Mark I'd crop out the burnt out hotspots bottom and left as for me they are to distracting from the main image but at the end of the day it's your image and what pleases you.

Nothing's burnt out! All within the mighty EM1's DR!
Good observations none the less.

It's well past your bedtime Mark!
