This photo certainly has impact. In fact it shocks the senses with its content, grimness and detail. It is certainly different and a good idea.
I am not sure, but a toned monchrome treatment may go well with this image.

Hope you wore gloves for this enterprise Paul, and that you wiped those fag ends before you smoked them. It all makes a disturbing statement on the stuff lying around our streets.

Thanks, guys.
Rob, I re-sized this image instead of lettin' photobucket do it, this time. The original is perfectly sharp.
Dave, a hospital rubber glove was used.

BTW Dave, everyone has mentioned the same thing as you on other forums, about myself wearin' gloves. I didn't know people cared so much.

I have another idea in my mind, now. This could be the start of another project I think.

Thanks, Lilly. I'm not sure about a 'texture' effect though, Lilly.

Hi Paul, definitely an excellent image! Makes you think… it could have been my child picking up that stuff WITHOUT GLOVES! There’s more harmful things lying around than what we realise. A real eye opener…

Gog' and Mike, thanks.
Gog', the streets and thoroughfares do tend to be cleaner these days, but not all the time, thats the thing.
