The photo was taken at a very busy point near the Ramblas. The aim was, to photograph the impressive well with its surrounding characteristic elements (balcony, door shutters, lantern and red decorative band) with not too many obstacles. However, without leaving out the human entirely. Therefore, the man in woman in the window above definitely needed to be in the picture. The woman walking into the picture on the left is slightly blurred, due to the shutter speed used (1/10 sec). This also shows the contrast between two worlds of experience: the man and woman are having a rest moment on an idyllic balcony, while the woman on the left is on her way to her destination with a full bag, thus characterising the street scene.
