Hello guys,

A pretty funny one here. Very unusual and rare situation.
Man, policework can be very hard at times ;-)

This one was very spontaneous, that's why, the bad cropping from bottom and left. All I did is crop from top and right, and used selective colour to make them more eye catching.

Later the police officer on the left laughted after seeing me taking the shot. Would have got to them and showed them the photo, but there were too many people walking and passing by, I was very lucky to take such a clean shot.

Enjoy it.

Tom

Super! L'idée est très bonne et techniquement c'est très réussi aussi. La situation est en effet cocasse! Bravo pour ce moment d'humour typiquement "british"!

Hello Tomek:)
Super humorous, great action here, like reporter shot so no body should complain cropping. Good choice to select colours at main subject and B/W for the rest. Great photo. Remind me Mr. Bean's ideas he he.

Classic shot here haha. This is priceless, well spotted. Good clear detail & good POV. Spontaneous shots like this are so worth looking at. I like how it shows how police are human just like everyone else.
Cheers

Hello Thomas!


Great timing ! and composition . Looks like he is making the Big demand, on a very unusual situation.

Smart choice once again with this partial desaturation.
Bravo!

Hi Thomas, grat moment you captured here. Very humourous and you were lucky indeed to have a clear path to this. I don't normally like selective colours but I think it works here pretty well. Good shot.
