just couldn't think of a good title

Thanks for rating.

 

Gotta say, I love the effect you have used on this series.

 

I like juxtaposition of the headless man (in effect "no man") and the sign in the background.

 

Nice observation, and the angle works perfectly, lining up the two men.

 

Cheers, Ellen

I was a little dissapointed when after 3 days posted for crit nobody had said a word. I guessed perhaps it was too buzy a weekend for everyone to do much more than pick numbers. So I made a loud and somewhat ambiguous sign that extends my notion of this picture. That guy is on the barrier island in the middle of crossing a multilane freeway/highway/motorway. He has no head! Instead there is a sign that says why.

But, I suppose it is possible that I deserve little more than a glance and a rating. How much credit is owed to the co-incidental photograph taker? The head is not purposely chopped off. I was driving down the freeway, saw this guy, saw the sign, camera was ready, so I stuck it out the window and turned it so that the sign would be directly above the guy. Some might say I missed the shot, I think not.

Regarding the effect, glad you like it :) Its multiple leyers of the same image using the screen blend mode, then a contrasting and a sharpening.

Thanks Ellen, for your thoughts when stopping by.

I have actually come to this shot before, viewed, thought, left and thought somemore.

 

I do find your diagonals very strong. Some of our best shots in life are kizmit not planning.

Glad to hear it, thanks Knicki.

And kismet, good word, never heard it before, took some looking up. Destiny, fate OR Will of Allah

Guess we just need to read the signs...
