Another from the archives, taken at a 1940s weekend in Haworth. For those who don't know, there was a TV sitcom series back in the 60s & 70s called Dad's Army, based on the Home Guard. A character in the series called Private Pike would often say "Don't panic Captain Mainwaring", and the chap here on the right happened to look remarkably like him.
Though the subject suits mono, thought I'd give it the colour-popping treatment, but with a twist, having the background in colour rather than the subject.
Correction: ...it was corporal Jones played by Clive Dunn who used to say don't panic...
Thanks Trev (achieverswales)!

Love the use of colour popping Trev, we still watch this program on Gold, you are wrong about private Pike though! It was corporal Jones played by Clive Dunn who used to say don't panic and also they do not like it up them was another of his.

Trev.
This is well done, Trev - I wonder if you have tried reversing the effect?

Please feel free to add your own words. 
Great shot Trevor, this one stood out in the thumbnails.
I would never have thought of a reverse colour pop.
