[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Seen from the top of a London double decker bus on the way to the British Museum, this window dresser was busy getting the display window ready for the latest in spring fashions, unconciously making a fashion statement all his own, a composition in red, white and black.

ISO 800, focal length 85.0 mm

Excellent snapshot! It is unbeleivable sometimes to see what the hazard reserve for us! It would make a nice publicity shot! A pity though that there is a tilt in the picture but it is still very interesting! Michel

Hi Lois- great capture - even more amazing the degree of difficulty to pull this off- could also be an add for red briefs-reminds me of the adverts that Mark Walhberg did several years ago- nice work!

Best wishes,
Steve

Hi Lois,

Well captured, makes you want say pull up your pants! Hmm maybe even a wedgie is called for.

Thanks for the view

You have a good photojurnalistic eye.
Shot from the bus! Dunledecker indeed!
You know how to catch a right moment!
Congratulation!

P.S About that swans, yes please!

As has been mentioned, a very good quality result from a grab from the top of a bus two miles away! The red element shows up in the most unexpected places! Good presentation and quality! The right moment with the body posture/pose, which fits the 'box' very well. I might have sacrficed the level floor for a non-tilted remainder? Tough decision.
Bad News Department:
I'm now in trouble. The office has elevated me to Chief Cook and Bottle-Washer and I am spending a lot of time there and elsewhere in connection with the unwanted job. Thus, after that week off, I don't even have much time left over to catch up at any appreciable rate. I do believe that I will cease posting daily, as every time I put one up, there is more response time to find and more visits/crits to create. Therefore, this one will be the last until I have worked my way through all the outstanding visits I have to make. As a consequence, this part of the reply is a recorded message. Beep.
