Lovely textures in this. Beautiful tones.

very very nice. i like the black and white here. although i would be tempted to be corny and selectively desaturate everything but the phone booth!

nice compsotion and great monochrome tone.

Hey that's somewhat teasing to post desaturated (or is it toned?) shots like this and refer to something of color in the shot... I like it.

Very red

Rustic, calm and beautiful. Great shot!

neat composition, the sepia gamut goes very well here...

Wow, so crisp and gorgeous. Very nice!

Well, it's really more of a phone booth ;-) nice photo, as always. I wonder if it would be cool to colorize just the phone booth in this shot?

One of my favourites to date.

Reminds me of an illustration from a Chris van Allsburg book. :)

A whole bunch of the English spirit. Including the word "route" they have taken from french.

If you've seen one, you know they're red. If you haven't, take the caption's word for it. For me, the variety of textures is what makes this shot. Bravo!

I may be crazy, but I feel like I can see the red, even though it isn't.

Posted by Chris at February 27, 2006 02:20 PM

Very nice :)

Is that Parks Road? (Just off Broad Street)

The strong horizontal and vertical lines create a composition that captures the stolid and upright nature of the Brits. The individual elements: sign, bin, booth, stone wall -- all capture some of the delights to be celebrated in their unique-English habitat. "Keep Britain tidy." Finally, there is mystery in the booth. Who is that shaded soul and what is his mission? A wonderful, evocative photo!

it's not red. it's grey.

Posted by daniel Pape at February 27, 2006 07:45 PM

nice B&W picture!

Posted by marçal at February 27, 2006 10:40 PM

that sepia tone is beautiful.

I would have loved to see it in colour. Like this, it is just a phone booth. And not red. Yes, call me a nitpicker! ;)

Posted by Moon at February 28, 2006 02:24 AM

This pic is one of the best I have ever seen! Simple and neat !

Posted by Rajiv Mathew at February 28, 2006 08:59 PM

This photo speaks to me! The texture is amazing and I the love the contrast the black and white provides. I doubt color would have done it justice. I also love how the light gently works to reveal the mysterious gentleman in the booth. Great composition.

very very nice!
someone on phone booth?

Posted by Night at March 15, 2006 04:41 AM

I think it would look really cool if the booth was red (desat style)

Posted by yantski at April 26, 2006 08:12 PM

Beautiful! I wonder would it be so impressive for those who have not been raised with the black and white movies and photography?

Would they feel the mood?
