Walking home... 2 loaves of bread, 2 litres of milk and the D3 - the days work out

it's a shame about those bike racks being where they are!

fantastic shot otherwise!

i'm still undecided between the colour and black and white...maybe something that is near black and white, but with a subtle hint of colour? something subtle and washed out maybe?

I think the colour version is better!

Heh yeah, I tried to go for a sort of dreamy BW look but I don't think it came off

Here's the washed out version Josh suggested

mmmmm....much better to what i had in my mind, could it be washed out more? and that dreamy look you had in your black and white photo, put that on there. if you permit me, can i possibly try my own pp?

something along those lines...i think...what do you think. i'm trying for an ethereal feel.

Justin - love the full colour version but if I may suggest a crop. Crop down to just above the yellow circle and crop out the left hand edge to remove the door and the bike stand. This, IMO, would give a powerfully balanced pano.

I must admit I do like the 'ethereal' feel to Joshmans PP, the contrast seemed a bit harsh in the original.

It's a nice shot.

(I wonder if he's looking up lotto results?)

As per Chris' suggestion (which I like, getting away from that whole dream drama):

About 2 seconds before this shot, he wet his finger and smoothed down an eyebrow. That would have been a nice candid!

and as a 10x15

The 10x15 is spot on Justin, better than the pano :up:
