Hi Bev

Nice winter shot.
Like the contrast of the bright jacket against the early morning light.

Hello, Bev.

Another of your great impromptu "people" shots! The contrast of the postman's red jacket to the almost-monochrome snowy scene is fabulous!

Lucky you too - our postman usually ends up coming after lunchtime!

Best Wishes,

John.

Wonderful, Bev!!
Incredibly good detail under the lighting conditions, very well composed and balanced and I love that BRIGHT splash of color among all the snow. Great shot! Many thanks and warmest wishes,
Shelly

Hi Bev,

Great shot. I like the cold, cold of the snow and wintry sky. The bright jacket adds some warmth to the scene. (I'm sure you had a pot of tea too? ;D)

Hi Bev,

You must be related to Royalty if you get your mail before 10.30. I like the way the postman,s coat is so much brighter than the surrounding colours. Well done.

Regards
Jon

Hello Bev,

It's very interesting how the fluorescent red of the postman's jacket has somehow sucked the light out of the surroundings to great effect here.

The contrast of the jacket with the almost monochrome rendering of the rest of the image is excellent.

I hope he doesn't turn the tables on you and catch you in your nightie!

Regards,

Peter.

Hello Bev,Peter is right, the vivid red jacket stands out so brightly that all the other colours have disappeared!
I like the anonimity of the postman as he walks away.It would be interesting to have a shot of him walking towards you, just so that we could compare the impact between the two shots.
Tfs, regards Jean.

Ha, ha! Bev. I hope you were discreetly attired!

Terrific capture of a grey, winter's morning where everything (except the postie) is resting under a thick blanket of snow.

It is nicely detailed and the postman just wows with his bright coat. He makes a spectacular contrast!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

I love the contrast of his high-vis jacket with the blue tone through the rest of the frame. Nice timing and a good way of showing that despite the elements the Royal Mail still delivers :-)
Thanks for sharing
Mark
