Back Streets of Arnold - 2

This is my second shot of some back street of Arnold

http://365project.org/phil_howcroft/365/2012-04-11

This is more a twitchell / short cut than a back street.

We walk dow this twitchell when we go to my daughters.

Ruby likes to sniff the bushes on the left and a big noisy dog barks at her on the garden on the right hand side !!! Although no barking when this 'shot was shot'....'shot was shot'...awful English ...'shot was taken / took' perhaps

Selective colouring on the postman at the bottom of the twitchell to add a bit of interest........well red always works well in selective colouring

[Kerri]

Great perspective

[Netkonnexion]

Wonderful. I love the SC and the depth given by the alley. Nicely done.

[Steve Hollingsworth]

I have never heard of a twitchell before phil , is that a county saying ? Nice shot of the posty

[Allison Williams]

Perfect use of selective color! Very subtle and effective.

[Sue Wilde]

Lovely long lines and the postperson pops

[Mags]

Marvelous shot and perspective, Phil! I love the use of your selective color and red is the best to go with black and white!

[Fanny Brogden]

That just makes a fairly ordinary alley into a fantastic one!! Clever you!

[🐓 Patricia Fletcher]

I want to see what'sround the corner! You have succeeded in drawing me into the shot you shot !!!

[Mike]

'Shot was took'!? ...I think not. Love the SC it adds great interest

[Pat Knowles]

A twitchell ...I have never heard of a twitchell & your name for a weind !!! Love all these local words ! Wonderful SC & the postman is a great subject !!

[Sue]

Like the perspective & the pop of red!

[Cherrill]

How you doing this Monday? A bit sad I would think.....what an amazing afternoon to end the season. Your sadness can only be matched by my other half who is a Utd fan :-( Love this photo with the selective postman....never heard of your local terms either.

[Juliette Packham]

Selective coloring always works with red. First time I have heard the word twitchell. I will now be using this when I speak of alleys or back street. Wonderful!
