The photo isn't in color because I converted it to black and white; it was a black car and the road was basically black - the only hint of color was a bit of gold on the wheel rim - not sure what you mean by selective desaturation here. Unless you thought the "Firestone" lettering was on the car in the first place? I worked hard to find a font that I thought came as close as possible to that of the company's logo - I'd be pleased to think I was successful at that :)

I added the red Firestone to identify the product I was "advertising" and and the red border because I thought it gave the photo a more finished look for a billboard. I agree that the bright area under the car is distracting - the light was not good and this certainly isn't a great photo, but I wanted to play so I put it in :)

ETA: And now I see that the best place for the red FIRESTONE lettering would, in fact, have been right under the car - on the bright area that draws the eye!

Simple and minimalistic, but effective. Love the Mondrianesque geometry :). Congrats on your red!

Fabulous image and congratulations on the PB. I'm curious how you got this perspective.


No secret on the perspective - nor, indeed, any fancy equipment. I have a small (well, compared to my normal camera gear) Panasonix Lumix that I like to carry when I go out for neighborhood walks because it's quite lightweight. It also has the advantage of having a versatile range - 20-1200 AND, critical for the ball drop and subsequent bounces in this situation, a nice burst. It was early afternoon, sun and shadows were strong. I positioned myself to have my own shadow behind me, leaned over, pointed the camera down at the ground, and shot. Lots of fodder to play with later.
