lurksalot Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 This one is a touch interesting , I can't quite get my head around it , probably over thinking it as normal , but it almost looks like a photoshoppy / cartoon kind of image , with either the sun or the moon making an appearance , I have Lurksalittle and her friend Popsinforalurknowandagain ( she is only 10 , ah bless) helping with ideas , so this could get very random Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a literal photo of Paco de Lucia may have been a little, err, constraining for those of us not versed in flamenco guitar. Which I'm assuming is most of us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad3353 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Is there an extra bonus for anyone able to conjure up an homage to Paco, inspired by the photo, but without flamenco content..? No promises on my part, though; it's tough enough as it is..! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horizontalste Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 (edited) My first thought was of a tumour on the landscape so I guess I'm expecting loads of minor chords this month. Can't wait until I can get my head around production just so I can enter these competitions. Looking forward to listening to the entries, good luck fellas.

xgsjx Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Great pic & I've gotten inspiration from it. Every month I say I'm gonna get an entry & every month I do make a start, but never get time to finish. I've made a start, hopefully I'll get it finished this week!

the boy Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I was once told that Spain is the devils country, for this reason God filled it with angels, and so their is this constant struggle between good and evil which gives birth to a pallet of emotions and temperaments that make the Spanish people so amazing and interesting. This picture by chance represents this perfectly to me. For me this picture says "satans last stand"............ It is also a picture of the Andalusian countryside which is Pacos birthplace so stop overthinking it and get on with it. lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
