 basic edit except for the lucisart plug which gives a fairly sharpened and contrasty look .. i'm addicted to it .. its just another problem behaviour that i'll have to get help for .. !!
this is a council worker in the front end loader, i think, fixing up the firetrail . this is just up from where i took the sunset on day 1 ..
they are fixing it up coz i phoned the council and said i fell over and hurt my knee and that it was dangerous !!!!!! lol lol .. AS IF!! ..
you know in australia ppl try to sue the government or the local councils if a path/ sidewalk/ footpath is uneven & they fall over .. i reckon its scarey wot that sort of behaviour could lead to .. so many things are against the law now that should be our own personal responsibility .. law's are becoming more and more invasive ..

Striking colors, I'll have to look into the Lucisart filter you mention. The council worker seems to have a kind face -- makes for an appealing photo all around.

Great image. The composition is perfect for the square crop.

Nice "slice of life" shot. Also proves that he was actually working when he was supposed to (that's kinda a problem around here. . . .)

I really like the contrast, the bluriness of the man makes him stand out even more.

Great candid. REally great job on getting rid of any noise that might happen. I always get so much noise on images like this. Yours came out very noise free.

I like how his face is slightly out of focus and everything else is nice & crisp. Neat angle!

I like the way you framed him. That lucisart plug in seductive. I sense a new toy in my future...

I like the realness of this. You see these kinds of things every day yet most people don't want to capture them I find. You did a great job.

Woah how weird, I was just talking about my despair at people having no sense of personal responsibility today

Fantastic shot that really fills the frame, lots of almost invisible nuances as well (you gotta love the racing car above his head)

Very impressed at the fact that you have shot through glass and not lost his expression in the reflection

And as for me ever finishing 6th ha...I have never even scored a 6 average

Happiness to you, from your absurdly contented friend

I like the colors here. The face: looks a little "too much noise reduced", but it can be the glass.

Think the situation in every country is not very good when you use other transport than a car. (I'll think politicians don't know the live outside a car, cause if they did a lot of traffic problems would be solved long ago)

... and another thing... thanks for the story - very interesting.

Great processing, Roz! This is not dissimilar to what I achieve - or try to achieve - with repeated USM/NeatImage applications - I love that look! Kind of soapy, slick, contrasty, surreal, dreamy, yet still real. Love it. Good colors, too.

I'm on your heels - my photo will be posted in mere minutes.
