Last of the trio from the Brussels wall. I could happily have stood there taking photographs for hours.

Off for another brief jaunt while the weather holds - MrsW has explained. Click'n'run when possible.

I was about request a little more contrast to bring out the texture of the wall, then I clicked 'Large' and shut up.

Very nice indeed Sir.

This is a really great street shot. My only niggle is I would have removed the bag of rubbish and posistioned myself to catch a passer by like the old gentleman on the far right, and shot the image as he was just passing the wooden door. I personally would have left out the other two people as I think the image is a little too busy with all three. I agree with you I would have stood there for ages waiting to catch the right person. The only other thing is the scruffy background in the top right which spoils it for me, and its a little flat. Having said all that Its still a good street image. PS I ve just seen the other two images and the framing on the other images especialy backdrop 2 is better and the bin was cloned out bottom right. This image needs a person who was of more interest to the background. I especialy like the photographs on the hoarding and think they alone would have made a great shot. Regards Richard

This reminds me of an outdoor art show that got caught in the rain!


Also makes me think of selective coloring-- might work?

I would join you for hours Bill,but I would want a step ladder to get all my little details.It would be all right.We could send Moira to the shops,to keep her happy.She would have to bring my stepladder back first however !!
Without doubt,one of the most interesting walls I have seen. And you will know I have seen many walls !!

Good arrangement of the figures Bill, they look like they are involved in a strange version of musical chairs.

yep, when you find locations like these you just want to pull up a chair and order room service (a good pint and mozzarella and tomato baguette for starters Smile )

This is very good Bill, you got the shot just as it was.
The bag of rubbish brings home the reality....it happens everywhere.
Have a great time.
