did you HAVE to put that conundrum out there? now i'm gonna spend the rest of the evening wondering why dogs like to pee on fire hydrants... ;p you are right about the colours... the red and blue are hugely eye-catching... what a wonderful find!
Ha! That's bright red! It so reminds me of the robot, Maximillian from "The Black Hole!" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzUJJKDa558 I thought he looked like a fire hydrant then! LOL!
@marlboromaam I still have 2 of my old lunch boxes... One is Buck Rogers and the other is Star Wars. I would have sworn I still had the Six Million Dollar Man too... I'll have to check storage.
@flagged I actually thought of that while I was taking the picture but wasn't sure if anyone would see a connection. Since you did, I've tagged it. And thank you so much for the fav!!
Love the way the bright primary colours play off each other. Amazing amount of texture on the fire hydrant. Great pic! I think the dogs use hydrants as message boards. Read messages with your nose, then lift your leg and leave your own! When Buddy does that we call it "checking his pee-mail". :) Bonus fun fact, the higher the pee spot on the hydrant (or pole or tree), the higher that dog's superiority is perceived by the other dogs who sniff it. That's why many dogs will practically fall over trying to lift their leg as high as possible on a hydrant like this! :) (apologies if that's TMI, lol.)
@sandier its old... I only did 2 things to this photo....I used Topaz Adjust and turned the Warmth down very slightly, then in PSE I selected the guided tab and did the depth of field thing on the fire hydrant. That's all. The textures are all natural
@northy sorry... it was in my head, so I shared ;)
thank you all for the kind comments... it is always appreciated
@aspada @michaelelliott thank you Amy and Michael!!
