Red Alert (human nature)
Just out playing with my brother. I thought this wall and sign would work well with going against the grain in motion and contrast using a red coat against the black spotted wall. 5d, 0.4 seconds, 24-70 L at 30mm.

Very nice Cliff, not normally attracted to anything with an "abstract" flavor but I like this, the wall is very interesting along with the great colors and everything else seen here!

Interesting Cliff! The shot works with the texture and color of the wall off setting the red coat. It pays to experiment.

Thanks for the comments. He had a blue coat on, but i carry so much junk in my suburban, i think i am a fatalist, i found the red windbreaker and had him put it on and then it looked so much better. :)

Perfect Cliff, love the brushed grain of the wall, the red jacket to catch my attention, and the posted sign as a counterpoint. Great concept and a very sellable image.

Just fantastic! What a terrific creation! :toast: I think this is a real winner– stock, greeting cards, prints, you name it. Way to go. :cool:

Really cool shot, and great creative use of color. That red was just what the image needed. The only thing I might suggest is to tone down the saturation of the red just a little.....it's almost too effective and makes it a little hard to wander around the rest of the scene.

Excellent! Nice framing and yes the red works so darn well. I esp. enjoy the fact he is going against the regulation...!!!!! SWEET!
