Dominos with Son

Precioso el Humo
Dominos with Son by Nav A..
Son (pronounced as SONE as in alone) is a kind of music that is very popular in Cuba, people of all ages enjoy it with cigars and dominos.

Cuban culture is a blend of caribean latino and central african cultures. The life is smooth and the identies are very much blended in.

Nice composition and tone. I find the yellow a little distracting. (123)

I am imagining the next scene. The hand flying over the other pieces with that one domino piece with his fingers....

*BANG*

There is a grin on his face as he replays his move in his head. He looks up at the individual infront of him, and with a jerk of his head, and a grin, the other player begins to think.

He sees his move, and he takes his cigar out of his mouth with his left hand. He blows the smoke into the other players face, and both of them grin. His left hand rests on the edge of the table, with the cigar still between two fingers. He sees his move...

now it's his turn.

*BANG*

great shot nav :-) Your photography takes me on an adventure.

truly a sexy shot khochay!

good times.. the arm is of one of many locals who were just hanging around looking from behind the artificial walls (artist's canvas). This pic is in Havana at a afrocuban musical and artist festival of sorts.

Congratulations! This is a spectacular picture. Very well composed. At first I though it was too bad the smoke was there, but it helps the viewer get into the atmosphere and smell the cigar. Also, the smoke blocks the guy's face a bit, which is also cool, because he kinda looks like John Coltrane (at least I would like to keep seeing it that way). Finally, the arm in the back gives the picture a sexy feeling.

Caribbean Latino? That sounds more like Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic. Since Cuba never had any natives, everyone is from Europe and Africa... awhh nevermind
