I'm trying to figure out how these are put together, but anyway, it is a great image.

@yz: :
(from Ronnie) Thanks, yz! I was hoping no-one would ask. I had been taking a series on different ‘street jobs’ and came across this guy. Lilly happened to be working on fast food shots and the two kinda came together. I used her discarded McDonald’s wrappings as a grubby ‘filter’ over the boardman image. Regards.

This is interesting on many levels and you can't help looking deeper into it. I'll have to get back to you later, I'm still entranced.

I'm glad Yz asked how you did it, because I couldn't figure it out! Not that it's necessary to know, because also without your explanation it's a catching sight!

A clever image.
i like the way you used the wrapping 'filter' to pull the eye back in the frame to the arrow pointing out of it.

I like the story behind the image. A nice blend and filter effect. It does feel like the end of the roll of film which often had such interesting images.
Cool shot R & L!

akarui from Kagoshima, Japan
Red is often link to security and emergency. Here just the guy is wearing a red-orange secure jacket but there is a red light, red bus and red Mc Do pannel...
I wonder what was he holding on the original picture :)
18 Nov 2008 2:16am
@akarui: :
(from Ronnie) Thanks, akarui and, yes, red is the theme here. As to the guy, he is shown as he was . . he promotes Mc Do !
GJC from Kyoto, Japan
Fun image. Indeed there is job security at such places -- the question is whether you want to have that kind of job! :)
