This was taken on a trip up the River Thames to Hampton Court on 24th May 2009.
This is English eccentricity at it's best.

Hi Len, great shot - something different.
I did a quick edit - your orig on left, my edit on right.

Kaye am I right in thinking you just high-lighted it a little?

Len -

I had a bit of fun with this and went for something different. What do you think??

dk, I just think it's one of those pictures you can do anything with, it's timeless.
I just absolutely love it, not just because I took the shot. I think I said earlier this is English eccentricity at it's best, one of those moments were you just happen to be in the right place at the right time. The guy probably lives there tax free, sticking his two fingers up at the world saying " You can have your mansions and your big fancy cars, just leave me alone I'm happy here."

Yes I just used a highlighter in PS. I tried to add bit of exposure, but it did not look right with this. Think I adjusted the colour just slightly also.

Well this one begged the post-apocalyptic question. The process basically involved throwing everything at it but the dog and seeing what adhered.

Cheers...
