Default Man in blue.

Portrait of a man in blue. He seemed patient enough for me to compose this abstract, so I thought of making him a point of focus.



Single exposure. Raw scan. Circular polariser.

The blue lorry and the words on the glass panel actually distracted me from the main subject. (which i think its alittle too small)

yeah I thought the blue lorry sucks too... I'll try harder next time..
I wanted the words to convey a message "spoken" by the man in blue. He delivers food.

Actually the blue man doesnt convey a strong enough message.....too small ....

I guess from one look you really wont know tat he sends food.
Plus the bridge and the walkway in the foreground...equally distracting.

Nice try.

If the subject is "man in blue", then he should at least be prominent in the picture and not so small. When I 1st look at the picture I had to spend some efforts trying to find that "man in blue" in the pic...

Ya man, keep trying, that is the spirit!
