@annora: many thanks...as a street scene...and both popular & striking advertising ...it cried out for some selective colouring. Glad you like it. Thanks

@Alun Lambert: cheers Alun. As a Welshman in England in Grand Slam year...but for the Ospreys choking in the Heineken you've had a pretty special year! I'm sure Ryan will rectify that next year.

Michael Skorulski from Cigel, Slovakia

the selective color turns the ordinary into the interesting. Well-done!

This seems to have sort of a retro look --60's or 70's perhaps. BTW, I like the blond in the mini and boots.

Love the red. Really pops out. Very cool.

Benoit Darrieux from Clermont Ferrand, France

I find your picture reflects very well UK ! In fact, most of your pages reflect very well your country. We can find the weather (:-)), the atmosphere, the way of life, the landscapes and cities... well, thanks to share your land with us !

I read this sentance in a newspaper few years ago:

"After the storm on the Channel, the continent is isolated."...The Nature has given you the best sens of humour than ever !

Cheers.
