A couple of shots of a guitarist under the clock at Flinders St Station

Played with colour curves in the first and B&W with grain in the second

I like the first one - looks grungy, unplugged, raw. The 'wacky' green background fits with the dude's glasses and makes the bright red guitar stand out.

With the graininess of the black'n'white, I kind of think the subject gets a little 'lost'. If anything, my eyes keep wandering to the 'Peavey'!

Sorry Pharmer I was meaning to post on this shot before.

The first is 'wacky' but overall doesn't work well for me.

#2 I prefer the grainy black and white, it works alright for me, this guy is quiet a character.

#1 - your PP looks like it's straight out of the Matrix!

I like it, helps build the urban feel of the image.

#2 - not my sort of b/w.

The first one for me, I think the PP suits the image, adds to the feel...

I like the first one two. Oversaturated colours suit it. Great photo!
