Not Matt - HappyAugust #15

I've mentioned my friend Matt before. I've taken lots of photos of him but somehow can't capture him yet. I've just spent a lovely afternoon with him, sitting at various tables at a local cafe, people watching and chatting about life .. and, yet again, I didn't manage to get a photo of him that I'm happy with! So here's a photo of where Matt was sitting, which I took while he was ordering more coffees. An empty chair, very gestalt :o)

I went for a slightly rough selective colouring effect this time!
I like it! ;)

Sarah, the 'rough selective colouring effect' works well.

Everyday shot's work

@hagscat @phil_howcroft @dulciknit @maaikel Thank you all - I was definitely inspired by Maaikel's pictures to let go of the need to be so precise in selective colouring .. I'm enjoying being a bit more slap-dash with it lately! :oD
