The Young Dancer of Bow Street by rich57

The Young Dancer of Bow Street

Bronze statue by Enzo Plazzotta on Bow Street (the one from Monopoly). Been wanting to get a decent shot here for ages so deliberately booked a later train back to Leeds so I could nip down and get clicking...

Good in large view!

Think you've got it all here Rich...iconic phone boxes, gorgeous statue, passer by and great perspective! As @katel says Brill!!
December 15th, 2011  
Cool shot - nice phone box action
December 15th, 2011  
Love the context of the environment with the statue.
December 15th, 2011  
Waiting for a call...
December 15th, 2011  
Oh I like this composition-the lonely phone boxes being by-passed by the mobile phone user.
December 15th, 2011  
LOVE IT!
December 15th, 2011  
this is great Richard! Hope you are doing well :D
December 15th, 2011  
Well done... love the phone boxes and texter!
December 15th, 2011  
Good pic mate.. Worth the later train

All you need to do now us a bit of selective colouring, photoshop in a random cat or copper then I'd reckon you could sell this for £40 down the Market :-)

I love the way that the texter and the dancer's physiques and poses are so compatible-the texter could be the dancer post class! Did you wait for her (or someone like her) specifically? Either way a class addition!

@stuartc no, I took about thirty shots trying to get a good perspective and this being Covent Garden there were plenty of passers-by. That said as soon as I saw her approaching I knew it could make a good shot and rattled off three snaps in quick succession. The best one composition wise was a bit hurried and so blurred and I couldn't use it!
December 15th, 2011  
Great composition Richard! Fav.
December 15th, 2011  
nicely composed!
December 15th, 2011  
Can't believe there are still that many phone booths in one area. Great POV, love the statue too
December 15th, 2011  
Great booths and statue.
December 15th, 2011  
oh you could start a telephone box series to complement the bench series
December 16th, 2011  
Amazing composition! Love the red. Fav for me and congrats on the pp
December 16th, 2011

December 16th, 2011

December 16th, 2011

December 16th, 2011

@russianblue
Red phone boxes look much better they should bring them bank
December 17th, 2011  
love the composition! admire your patience!
December 17th, 2011  
Love it
December 18th, 2011  
Good stuff, Rich. Great color and focus. Everyone loves a phone box (more than one so much the better). Both this and poor Jack's bloodied nose up on the PP together.
December 18th, 2011  
Really cool picture!
December 19th, 2011  
Oh, I love this--the boxes and the statue both
December 19th, 2011
