Off-centre


Photo Information
When I was processing this picture the off-centre focus on the main subject struck me and I thought it was crying out for something a little different. Hope you like it.

I do like it. What makes it work, of course, is the fact that the only person aware of the camera is in colour. Anything else wouldn't have worked, I think.
Best wishes,

Andrew

Thanks for the comment Andrew, what you have written is exactly what was in my head when I was studying this picture.

I think there's enough to make this a good B&W photo without the color, but it works as is as well. I do like it.

I like this idea, the colour pop really works against the other people who are totally unaware of the camera, it has quite a surreal look to it.
Kind regards Maria
