outside the Vines pub, central L'pool. i wanted this painterly so didn't brighten or recover too much. cropped from M8 jpeg. 28mm 2.8.tfl.

Excellent, well spotted, framed and presented...

Great picture. The knarled hands stand out beautifully from the almost flat surroundings.

tim -

I agree with David & Michael. That appears to be a disposable lighter in his hands.

Tim, well done. I think you can even get darker with the grit and grease & still get the texuture. Excellent frame, I also think there are some contrast gradients in his clothes that can be exploited to heighten the atmosphere. I like this very much.

thank you all. yes, you're right Ben, it could go darker. which accentuates the nicotine staining of the hands. but, I think, makes the picture harder to "read" at first casual glance. classic dilemma: aesthetics versus immediate impact. a trade-off, maybe?
