Loughborough Backstreets ~ 38

A slow day due to having a rather thick head from 3 bottles of red wine last night!!

Ventured out this afternoon into Loughborough, where it was bitterly cold.

The local saree shop has been on my list for a while, and as I stood there with my camera this young man scooted into the frame, threw his scooter down and scowled at me.

As soon as I took my shot he scooted off again!

I've long wanted to get my own Bert Hardy style shot. This one ticks that particular box.

Fab angle as always. The young man's expression matches the weather! He makes a great addition to the shot. Well caught.

He timed it perfectly! Made for a great composition, captured the shop and street well from this view.

Love this one, Sean. Could be back in the sixties! A really cold miserable feel to it.

I like the corner perspective of the building, and the little scowler adds a funny touch.

Heavy distortion going on here, but I don't think that retract anything from the quality of the photo. I really like the boy in the foreground. Fav

Love it. It has a very photo-journalistic touch to it. Fav

This is great, but it's the young lad with the scooter that makes the shot. Now I have to go and look up Bert Hardy.

Oh yes Fab! The fallen scooter makes the shot for me Sean. Fav!
