Still working on my "get pushed" photos... gak!

Thank you so much for the views, comments and favs on my last two shots... I am always so stunned by the amazing response! :)

[Aleksandra]

I love how they've removed their shoes, must have been a food one! Lol! Cool shot, just noticed your tags too, it took me ages to get used to ps, just keep practicing and I'm sure it will get easier :) I found YouTube clips to be invaluable when I knew what I wanted to achieve but didn't know how!

[Aleksandra]

*good not food... predictive text! Lol!

@aleksandra don't you hate predictive text

[Maggiemae]

This looks definitely like after something - a hard night! A hard walk! a hard pavement!

[Aleksandra]

@peterdegraaff Absolutely! I'm sure I've made some blunders I haven't noticed!

[Cromwell]

I laughed at the "I suck at Lightroom" tag.

[Karen H]

Nice one it really speaks to the theme. Love the shoes coming off.

[aurorajane]

Love it - look at them kicking the shoes off :o

[☠northy]

@aleksandra @peterdegraaff my favorite one is "oops" - iphone translates this into "pooh"!!!!

[Peter de Graaff]

@northy @aleksandra When I was at University I was in the Pooh Club, also known as the Friends of Pooh

[Leonie Mogridge]

Synchronised shoe removal!! Good catch

[Kelly]

Lovely candid relaxed shot, love it

[Kerri]

Beautiful b&w

[Sandra]

Really nice B&W, nicely done.

[Simon]

Great candid shot Northy

[Alison Tomlin]

Some interesting shoe choices for the shindig!

[ShanneW]

they do look so tired and hot and bothered, nice spot, and I love the b&w

[Livia]

An interesting moment to capture! Even though the man at the end of the bench doesn't look amused at all. Cool shot. 8)

[Caroline]

Gorgeous lines & textures. I like the nearly mirroring of the seated people. Excellent shot and wonderful in b& w. Of which I consider you the queen.

[Humphrey Hippo]

I'm fascinated how they both only have one shoe on/off. Caught mid-removal. Nice timing.

[MaryBeth Dailey]

Any why do you remove your shoes after the shindig? Haha I love this

[☠northy]

@carolinedreams Tx Caroline... But I am so not the queen of b&w... There are many many 365-ers who are far more skilled than I in this department!

[Andreas]

Great shot for the theme, the people taking their shoes off, the stacked barriers in the background. Makes me wonder what have happened.

[☠northy]

@myautofocuslife @humphreyhippo

i have to laugh... when i first started composing the shot, it was just the elderly gentleman and the barriers, and i thought it would make for a nice street candid... then the couple walked into the frame... and - you know - changed the composition ;p

[Michelle]

Fantastic street shot

[Myrna O'Hara]

I just have to say guys with shorts that go below their knees really aren't my thing. He is taking off his shoes? wonder why. What kind of shindig was it ?

[Caryn]

Haha! Well spotted. Funny that they are all taking off their shoes.

[Lyn]

So cool that they're all kicking off their shoes! Nice catch. . . .

[David]

Brilliant street shot - just love the shoe!

[Lisa Pouncy]

They look beat. Love that they've taken their shoes off. Great shot for the challenge and I have to say I love your tags...made me smile-----> :o) xx

[Ade Akinyede]

Cool capture and monochrome!!

[ladyjane]

I like the guy on the end of the bench - the expression on his face is great!

[☠northy]

@ladyjane ha ha! tx :) i think he must have been pretty fed up... first i come along with my camera, and then those two show up and move in on his bench ;p

[Michelle]

Not all of us can have awesome street shots like you!

[☠northy]

@mstipe why thank you Michelle, but really, there are many more awesome ones here on 365! and i would love to have a readily available beach with awesome light to photograph on a regular basis (most of my beach shots ARE nearby, but highly dependent on the cooperation of my family, and i rarely get there when the light is good ;p)

[Stacey]

Your shots always have something interesting going on. What is he doing with his shoe anyway?

[☠northy]

@newbie he's just taking it off... the two of them just wondered over to the bench and started taking off their boots / shoes... :)
