Sir Matt Busby

Posted by Ted (South Wales, United Kingdom) on 25 May 2008 in Sport & Recreation and Portfolio.

Director, conductor and manager of the Busby Babes, many of which were cruelly taken away by the Munich Air Disaster...keeping a watchful eye outside Old Trafford, home to Manchester United.

@dj.tigersprout: dj.tigersprout...I've only recently experimented with sepia, and surprised myself at how good it looked. I'm usually drawn by striking, vivid colours which is why I have to say what a great portfolio you have.

@yiannis krikis: yiannis...thanks, I think the reflection was more pronounced in sepia than it was in mono.

@Faramarz: Faramarz...thanks. By the way, your "beautiful look" is very clever. The over exposed edges and hand seems to draw you to the eyes.

@Ian Bramham: Thanks Ian. This was previously in mono...but you made me take a second look at sepia....hence the result.

Henry from Boston, United States

Great composition and toning here. I have only heard of Matt Busby from the Beatles song "Dig It", now I shall Google him. Thanks!

@Henry: Many thanks Henry... Sir Matt Busby rebuilt Manchester United as a football club following the Munich Air Tragedy in 1958. He nearly died but 23 passengers were lost that included the brightest stars of English football of the day. More info can be found of the tragedy at http://www.munich58.co.uk/
