I suspect that this entry might not attract quite so much interest as yesterday’s shot which, I have to say, was an entry born of desperation rather than anything else. I’d spent all week trying to take a decent self-portrait – and had totally failed to come up with anything. That said, I do like it, but it attracted way more interest than I thought it would. And I have to say that I do recommend it – there’s something quite pleasant about a string of ‘nice arse’ comments ;-)
As for today’s shot: I really don’t have anything to say about it – it caught my eye, I photographed it, and erm … cheated a bit in Photoshop. But, as happens every once in a while, I’ve got nothing else to put up so it will have to do :-/

When I loaded the page, I just said wow. It's been weeks since you made me say that. Stunning image, great composition, love the colors and reflections. Totally captivating.

Great composition, the colours I like, maybe a tad too oversaturated, parts of the locker latch feels a little too blown out. Maybe it's my monitor. We need to find an easy way to universally colour sync monitors...

Thanks, though I'm a bit surprised that nobody spotted the Photoshop(ping). This is an inverted image (the original can be seen here) and I think it's a vast improvement on the original. Actually, I guess the inversion probably isn't all that obvious - it's just when you know it's been done it's difficult to see it any other way.

I just assumed it was silver to begin with. I don't think it's cheating, you can do the same sort of thing in the darkroom and pretty much everyone does.

I love this shot, the colours and the contrast... For me, it's an interesting photo !

not cheating. you made a cool image for us. i really like it.
Excellent colours and perspective. What are they? I'd say they are toilet doors, but with a bike sign?
Deceptive: they're bike lockers - hence the bike sign ;-)
