A Busy Park by phil_howcroft

A Busy Park

Another Vernon Park shot, from my lunch time walk.

A group of ladies approaching with prams, babies, children and mobile phones.

The trees just starting to get their young leaves and creating a canopy of bright vibrant green.

I think I have been spotted and the lady with the pram has a nice smile (either that or she is feeling sorry for some sad man crouched down in his work shirt and tie taking pictures in the park)

Edit in Ratherapee and a Kodachrome Film simulation filter added,

The light is quite challenging with light and shade across the people, but I think it passes for a 365 album shot.
It definitely passes. I think they are pleased to have their photo taken!

I think the two front ladies know that lens is pointed straight at them! Its fairly obvious when you see some photographing. Can't pretend otherwise! Did you give them a wink when they went past? The trees are just lovely here!

@gamelee
All the people
So many people
They all go hand in hand
Hand in hand through their parklife
Know what I mean?

I have quoted Parklife in my 365 a few times :)

Looks like spring to me!!! Wonderful tree lines and lighting. THe green grass and leaves on the trees, as well as attire of the walkers just screams a beautiful day!!! Nice candid shot Phil!

Looks like a Good Friday procession. Only the clothing (and the baby) are different, haha. Great shot. I feel so awkward when I am caught taking a candid shot.
