This rather elderly guy, with his bright colours and long pony tail, caught my eye, strutting down Little Bourke Street, Melbourne CBD on a hot, hot day.
I don't know if I have responded appropriately to the colour toning prompt for this week. I was trying to use it to show the glow of his attire. The contrast with the other somewhat elderly man walking towards him was stark!
Like it or hate it he is definitely a character and worth a shot. Good one and you probably would not snap the clean cut man walking towards the orange pants :-) When we move on to Puerto Vallarta and people watch I may have a lot of "character" shots.
Good to be prepared for any weather. Melbourne has been described as having four seasons in a day and sometimes even less time. The weather here can be very changeable. The day before yesterday it was over 40deg and yesterday it was 20deg! @phil_howcroft
You embody the photographer in all of us because I believe all of us would have shot this guy if we had our equipment ready. I wonder if he or anybody else ever steps on this braids?
Thankyou for your kind words. His braids were swinging dangerously so it's possible that they've been stepped on.
In this photo, I liked the shadows of his braids on the footpath. @prettycheeses
