[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I have posted a couple of shots of traditional Romany caravans, this is a shot of one under restoration.

All the work is carried out by this guy and his two sons, everything is done by hand, as you can see here John is painting in the coach lines on this cart. The B&W panel to the right is a hand carved piece ready for the bright cheerful paintwork to go on.

The bottom part of the border is traditional Celtic knotwork design. This was a separate shot of a pannel you can see behind his head and skewed, duplicated, flipped over and matched up.

Hope you like it

Hello Brian,

Such an interesting shot!
It has social and journalistic interest!
The man is well placed in the frame and his pov, and arms lead nicely into the the occupation, which is perfectly detailed.
Perhaps a little boost to the colours would make it even better. Try a warm filter at 26% and see the difference. Tell me what you think!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Bri,

Amazing detailed craftsmanship, and well captured. I like real-life photos. The stained paint stand adds much character to the photo. Good focus, color and lighting.

Hello Brian,
In Turkey we have similar art of carp painting. Well composed details and good timing. In my taste, framing details are a bit distracting. Its only my opinion dear friend.
Any way nice work

Great too is the concentration of the man, painting at maximum precision. Very good inset.
