Taken a few weeks back I was in the whole “decisive moment” frame of mind. Looking for people in images. This doorway, obviously in a hidious state of colour was an attraction. I was waiting for someone to enter the frame when unbelieveably it was a painter. He also seems to be hiding his face from the door. Right time, right place…?

Nicely caught. Pity you didn’t lift the concrete kerb out of the way, though. :)
I hope the postman is as tall as the painter!
Nice shot, great that he is framed in the door. The knick-knacks add something to it too.
It is a shame about the kerbstone, have you looked at it B&W?

I had enough trouble cloning out the concrete pillar and the spiked chain that ran across the image. I know what you mean though.
B&W was my first thought but the point of the image was the painter by the lime green door. B&W would only make it pointless but I’m sure it would convert quite well.
Thanks for your thoughts.

What a great shot.
I’d crop out a lot of the top though perhaps.
Keep from just under the windowsill down.I don’t know why but it looks like the type of image you’d see on the front of a phone book!
It was suggested that I go for a square crop which makes a lot of sense so your suggestion is quite right. It will be one that I’ll reshape.
Phone book…?? :lol: Maybe!

Spoken in the past tense? I hope not. I really like where you are going with this kind of thing. It’s what I try to do myself, but rarely have the time to practice.
So I’m hoping you’ll continue with this type of composition…
Oh and you’re dead right…B&W would kill a lot of the appeal of the shot.
