Mr Stop Go Man

Or as my kids used to say 'The Lollipop Man'. He looked the picture of boredom today as he had me waiting for 'Go' at some road works.

Great image - they must seem such long days - so cold in winter and hot in summer. Love the use of selective colour.

[Nadiya Bilovodenko]

I really like the idea and pitch!

[Carole G]

Like your use of selective colour

[Connie Little]

Terrific use of selective colour. Great image of a man who is probably freezing as well as bored.

[Dawn]

Sure looks bored nice selective colour

[Delwyn Forsythe]

You do wonder how they can do that all day. Great shot.

[Rob Z]

Not even bothering to stand up - a picture of disinterest. Love the red sign amongst the B&W

[Paul]

I always wondered what a boring this must be. He does look bored, too. Great candid though :)

[Merrelyn]

Great candid, it looks cold :)

@dide I agree - it wouldn't be the most pleasant job, but some are quite enthusiastic and give you a wave as you go by! Not this one!!
@olenadole Thanks so much Nadiya :-)
@yorkshirekiwi Thanks Carole and @littleconnie and @dawnee I don't often do selective colour, but thought it added to the photo in this case. Actually I didn't do it in camera, but added the colour later to the black and white.
@delwynforsythe I agree - I think you would have to have the right personality for it.
@robz So true! Thanks.
@paul10 I do think it must be one of the most boring jobs!!
@merrelyn Thanks Merrelyn :-) I think it was a fairly cold afternoon!
