Week 1 a great capture, not at all sure I am brave enough to go and photograph a copper, but fits the theme for me.
Good alternative take on the theme.
Some thoughts on the shot itself though.
The verticals, certainly on the right hand side of the build are off.
Would it have been possible to not crop the car on the right? (though it does look like a deliberate crop for artistic reasons).
Having the policeman walk away from you works, as it emphasises that he is 'the law'.
Nice idea, pity you couldn't get him to face you
Cheers.
I always have problems with verticals in camera, so the tools in photo raw really help getting something straight, and then if needed (for dodgy perspectives), the skew option in the transform tools.Thanks, I will try to keep in mind about the verticals, any tips?
I guessed it was something like that.It was a deliberate crop on the car (when taking the shot), to of kept it in would of opened up an ugly bit on the left hand side, but to of moved would of taken out the sign.
Thank you Tim, I have just been reading about vertical distortion, I don't as yet have access to processing that I can use to correct it, but that should be arriving early next week. So something for me to learn. At the moment I am concentrating on getting as much right in the camera as possible. Much appreciate the advice.I always have problems with verticals in camera, so the tools in photo raw really help getting something straight, and then if needed (for dodgy perspectives), the skew option in the transform tools.

Really liking B&W just now. Nice tight crop and good detail. 9d have gone for frozen peas personally though [emoji14]
Was in jest mostly. I mean, I'd have used peas but I don't think it would have added to the image at allThanks, never thought of frozen peas, but yes it would of been better.
I take it its toothache depicted here, I like the thinking behind this, nice idea
getting slow in your old ageNah, just didn't duck quick enough! or maybe I shouldn't of said I didn't like her new shoes!
Those closed eyes might suggest a touch of regret! Great idea and the b&w works perfectly.Nah, just didn't duck quick enough! or maybe I shouldn't of said I didn't like her new shoes!
Lol, I'd thought toothache too.Nah, just didn't duck quick enough! or maybe I shouldn't of said I didn't like her new shoes!
Ooo I love stuff like this, interesting background story Roger
Nicely processed image too
Thank you, I shot it in black and white on remote, I thought Wifi on cameras was a gimmick but its great for selfies.I like Comfort a lot, and, as has been said above it tells a story. Nice b&w conversion with great detail.
Thanks, I am really enjoying exploring some of the things my new GX80 can do.Very good, nice mono conversion, loads of character, good crop, well lit. I like it a lot.
Thanks,I really like mono and my face suits it!I like there being a story to be imagined and that adds interest to the image. Like the b&w and the compo - well conceived.
Thanks DaveA good take on theme and goes well in mono, like it
Thanks, my first selfie! I am getting with it!Nice idea ... nice portrait.
By details you mean wrinkles!The image as a whole tells a great story. The mono is nice; it really brings out the details.
Lol, I'd thought toothache too.
Tight crop works, as does Mono.
Do you mind, that is my neat trim look!I was going to say tooth ache or right hook, probably just a little wider dof to have more of the wild beard and the ice in focus.
Thank you another one being kind about the battered old face!I like Comfort a lot, and, as has been said above it tells a story. Nice b&w conversion with great detail.
I had fun doing this, at last a subject who does as he is told!Great idea and bang on theme. And great self portrait.
Good composition and very effective bit of processing - dramatic and eerie.
Has a good back story, not keen on the writing but that's just personal, processing is interesting
processing works for me in a gothic/melodrama sort of way - I think the writing detracts from the motorcyclist (is he crazy speeding over THAT bridge?!), but as you say is reminiscent of a movie poster. I enjoyed the story
Really like it, the murky moodiness of the shot and the motorbike just coming over the bridge
Lol - I only meant with those hairy hands around....!Thank you, he was really taking it quite steady.
