Ha! that guy with his shirt off is a classic…do you think he`s looking for it?
these tones are magic.

Dunno, it was weird that day, my beloved city invaded and trashed, it was reall hard to take. smell of beer, piss, rubbish all over, I was heartbroken. For a week after that match, Manchester felt grim, greasy pavement and pissy city walls (snif)
After a few washed it’s gone, first time I thanked the rain ;)

I count 4 people on their mobiles, 3 people blocking the sun for a better view and one person pointing. My gosh it’s as if this was staged….fantastic on many levels, a brilliant image.

awesome. I love the colours. i would LOVE to know how you achieved the sepia with the blues and reds????
Cvail73 replied
Thanks!
It’s selective colouring, desaturating some colours but not others! :)

i love how despite all the action, you’ve stood back and composed a very neat and passive shot. it’s that that takes it beyond being just a candid and made it a real beauty.
Cvail73 replied
Wow, I’m flattered, thank you so much!!!
Simon Mears
enough said.. they disgraced Glasgow that day.. what a place to take the family too! utterly fantastic picture.
Cvail73 replied
Thanks :)
They did…you can follow the day there
I patrolled all day to document. There is a hiatus: theriots. Saw it from my window though. too dangerous to be out with a camera, the last ones I took were very risky already…
