 There aren't that many of these original telephone boxes around in the UK anymore. This one is in Hyde Park - was down there shooting for a challenge and thought it would make for an interesting SP.

I've edited this to within inches of its life. The phonebox was shot empty and then HDRed from 3 exposures (-2, 0, +2 on AEB), and then I was added in as a timer shot and blended in. Lots of tonemapping, face and sign dodged. Me layer and box layers both sharpened and nn separately, then usual.

Not the greatest photo but it'll do :)

I like how you framed your face in that clean piece of glass. I'm surprised you did so much editing. To me it looks like you stood in the box and snapped the picture. Very nicely done!

Surprising those two London bobbies didn't come along and book you for taking photos of a potential terrorist target. ;-Þ
Great processing.
