Oh what a very cool shot! Lovin the light and shadows in this. Perfect capture of the drivers communicating directions. I'd like to think they're lost in this photo forever. Thanks for sharing. -Christie
I might have been tempted to lower the Opacity of the small red border. Just a tad, as it is.. to my eyes ... too bold and competing of an element that contrasts with the 'softness' of the Ortonizing.
Or.. change the colour, picking up the muted yellows/browns as opposed to red.
That said..
Very nice shot, very nice work. And I do enjoy the final result, make no mistake about my words above.
And but of course.. thank you for sharing this one with us. :o)
This caught my eye in new images - there is such a lot to like about it. You have captured the action and created an image with a certain nostalgis. The cobbled road and the light flooding in are extra bonuses. This is staying on my desktop for a while :) Thanks for a unique and lovely work.
My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
Ray... this is very pleasing to the eye! I like that your border-line is but at the top and bottom of the image... it is now red and effective (you do have some reds in the image) but do consider Les' suggestion for a possible line-colour change. One never knows... :o) I will add that normally I do not appreciate the Orton effect... but (at least at this time) I do in your work!
A captivating street scene. I too enjoy the treatment and mood it evokes. Other than a few modern elements it feels like a walk back in time. Excellent composition.
