Carnival

This gentleman is always present at the Nottingham Carnival and is very photogenic.

I asked him to pose for me but then some more photographers nipped in too, so I never got a chance to chat and include him in my strangers series

I've, filled in some burnt out white background by cloning in some tree bokeh. Not very good cloning as you can probably see the joins :)

A filler shot from August

The very opposite of black& white Phil!! Such colour, you couldn't miss this chap could you? A great catch here of this wonderful costume & charismatic guy. Fave.

[Judith Johnson]

I didn't notice the joins Phil. A great colourful shot.

[Maggiemae]

I don't think you notice the joins (even though I did look) as the subject is so dramatic and well shot! fav

[Loopy-Lou]

Fabulous colourful shot,

[Hazel]

Such a colourful gent and what a shame you couldn't convert him to a 'stranger'!

[Dione Giorgio]

He would have made a fantastic subject for your 100 Strangers series. Still a fav for me even without a story behind him.

[Jen Hudson]

That's so colourful and he really pops out of the photo. Shame you didn't get to chat. I have been trying to follow your lead and get chatting and photoing strangers too.

[Doug Mouw]

You're right, he's very photogenic. GREAT costume!

What rich colors. Love his serious pose in contrast to the merriment of his garments.
