The downside of using a phone is one generally has to hold it up to the face so is not as discreet as a waist-level shot with a camera.
Were you out protesting too?

I dunno, I think the hair on its head is looking pretty sharp. Nice capture.
-
No, I would loved to have joined them. But, I haven't the faintest idea of what they were protesting against.
I did protest loudly, this morning when the Hospital told me they had no slots for a check up I have to have, until August 2025. After enquiring if I was now living in Zimbabwe rather than Italy. I asked about the Hospitals private scheme. I got an appointment for Monday. Same Doctors. Same State run Hospital.

I prefer the old brick buildings at the base. The stipes, almost hurt my eyes.
-
You have caught a nice dynamic pose, with this shot.
-
I immagine they had an icy swim.
-
I also like green versus wood:
-
Damn. I found Italian health care to be excellent when I have needed it.
-
OK, not on quite as grand a scale though...
-
Sorry I missed the size criterion.
-
Lichen Face
Isle of Whithorn harbour.
-
Definitely colour.
-
I rather like the colour casts in this, whether or not deliberate.
-
That's a very effective eye/brain puzzle. Not entirely sure I like it! But the juxtaposition with the older brick buildings is great.
-
It is, but we are starting to have problems with waiting lists for non critical problems in hospital. Health service "private" is quite cheap, €120 for some audiometric tests, so once you get an appointment all is still good.
-
What a lovely set of well worn buildings. The light was on your side as well.
-
Love that first shot. Sharp too. So much character in that cottage.
-
Thank you.
It wasn't shot through glass or a window. The pedestrian overpass is open to the elements with just waist high rails on both sides.
The colours casts are artificial and added in post. The smog/pollution in Shanghai wasn't too bad that day but still made the scene look not quite right to my liking originally in post.
I played around with various colour grading (mainly colour gradients with layer masks) aiming to create at least an interesting image without necessarily maintaining reality with the lighting.
