Hello everyone,

This is my first upload with a photo from London.
Spent there a week, with both fine and overcast weather.
It felt like being back home again.

This one here caught my attention in particular. All those years in the UK I've never seen a black telephone booth (well I don't recall seeing one).

As I've told David that many of those pictures taken were overexposed, just didn't have the chance or more time to play around with the camera and photographs at that time, decided to post this one with a little PP work.

Mainly I've used a magnetic lasso tool to copy out the booth, and paste into a red background - why red? Well the original colour of London's (UK's in fact) traditional telephone booths are RED - and sice I didn't get the chance (or I may have forgotten) to take a pic of the red one - thought it might be a comparison showing it this way (i.e. abstraction/imagination).

A bot of reflection was left over on the right side of the booth - but just left it like that.

Corrected few bits and pieces around the booth with a stamp clone. Then framed with a black border.

Hope you enjoy it.
PS. have a look at my WS, that's the original one, now you can see what I meant by overexposed.

Tom

It is unusual shot and for me it stay like remind that we were not long time ago used to be very pendent on pay phones instead of today's everybody cell phones.
Nice combination of colours and frame. Good composed.
