Listenin' To The Beat
This stranger walked past me at Flinders Street Station a few days ago. The colours of his bandana and his T-shirt were too good to resist.
Luckily I had my long lens, so I was able to take just a single frame from many metres away – as he and I both moved through the crowd.
Curiously enough, even though it was a very busy morning, there is not a single person anywhere else in the frame. And the station lights in the background are a perfect match for his headgear!
I do not crop, enhance or post-edit my images in any way. Shot with a Pentax K100D, using a Sigma 70-300mm lens. F6.7, 1/125 sec, ISO 800, focal length 260mm.

Thanks Cee, It was a difficult shot to take, because of the crowds at the station.
