Lollipop Man

I have set myself the objective of only taking 1 shot again today. I actually took 3 of this guy in the end before he started staring at me! I amy post the others at another time. I've lost the end of his pole and not quit egot him where I wanted,

I used the full extent of my 300mm zoom, have cropped him to the centre of the shot and deliberately tweaked the noise and levels before colour popping him, making him the hero.

This would be great for the weekly theme of "on the street"! I love the color pop in this!

[Helen]

Oooh - that's a vivid pop!

[Ann Stenson]

Wow.....Love how his vivid colours stand out from the b&w background! A realy great capture Sean!! : )

Sniggered a bit, not sure why but nicely comical. I like the Abbey Roadesque walk. The colours work well too

[@pictureitbig]

Really love this! Might steal this idea! Have got to photograph our school lolipop lady for school web site anyway. Great processing. Really suits the shot.

[Sean O'Neill]

@pictureitbig Glad you like it. I would be honoured if you used the idea. I may be going back tomorrow to merge both albums ideas from today. Thanks so much for the great feedback :)
