| As I walked back home from the Great West matt, in the same direction as the woman, I saw a guy get a bike out of the van. As I drew alongside, another guy removed a bed base, and I quickly got my camera out. As I walked past the van I turned and raised my camera, somehow knowing that a mattress would now be there. This was the pic I got. |

| FOD40UK commented on 01.09.11 | | just catching up on some I've missed....Very nice, SS (tho' being an 'oldskool' matt hunter, I never 'shopped any of mine..top shot tho'! |

|
| Smart Set commented on 05.15.10 | | Yeah, that is a nice one. Trouble is, so many of yours are good - it's expected of you! |

|
|
| Smart Set commented on 05.15.10 | | Thanks, rk. Actually, the woman's position and attitude is reminiscent of Lartigue's famous "Avenue du Bois" photo of 1911. |

| Smart Set commented on 05.06.10 | | Leaving pics au naturel is fine, but it looked a bit flat in its unretouched state, due to being taken against the light. I've overcooked the sky a bit, though! |

| wim commented on 05.06.10 | | I never fiddle in Photoshop ( because I do'nt know how. It reminds me of Tati and Monsieur Hulot in "Mon Oncle" 1958 en in " Traffic" the same kind of setting and colors. Like falling in love for the first time. |

|
| Smart Set commented on 05.06.10 | | Thanks, wim. Didn't change camera settings, just point-and-shoot. Fiddled in Photoshop, naturellement. |

| wim commented on 05.06.10 | | SS pushing his umbrella, so good, your own shadow is not on the picture, it feels like fresh soap from the old days |
|
|
| wim commented on 05.06.10 | | did you change camera settings? |
|
|
| wim commented on 05.06.10 | | I am impresed. It reminds me of a film director that uses this kind of colours, science fiction in true life. This is one of the best ever. Congratulations |
