Whatever the weather

Nice.

Out of gas at a Diesel Station? It is brilliant, whatever the situation… ;)

great shot Mel, looks like a bad day to break down.

@rjcolby – but don’t they take Diesel, looks more like a flat battery as the windows are open still…

What a beautiful image – this really holds my attention – simple yet with so many elements… I love the subtle water dripping from the top. Masterful work Mel!!

Love the windy space in this AWESOME!

great work!!

fantastic ..great timeing with the wind

Great looking shot Mel.

Great capture, Mel..love the POV

brilliant tones used here , and the common look I know what I am doing but shit there are so many wires

Oh Mel, this is my favourite shot, I remember how excited we were to see this minimal world and to land in it and shoot was so exciting, love how you have presented the final image… adore the negative space, the red, the wind swept shirt…. cold but so worth it… this is so my favourite! Love it!

theres something cool about this but its more than i can shake my art critic stick at
...

nice :D

...a ‘wow!’ image!

Always find a way to add substance…in this case with less…well spotted, well captured, and definately well presented!

This is very paulesque!!! Fantastic job…instant fav!!!

Gorgeous desolation

Nicely done Mel

Well done!! Very intriguing.

Marvellous work you two!

Fantastic work Mel!

Special shot Mel, and your treatment is fantastic, great collab, excellent image…......

fantastic mel, how on earth does he find these places! great work

Impressive work, love the composition and processing.

Simple but striking capture..well done Mel!

Nice work Mel

that treatment is bloody awesome i need to figure this one out, spot on.

Like this one a lot Mel.

I love the minimalism in this, and that small slash of bright red really adds so much to it. Paul’s windswept appearance while gazing in apparent bemusement at the confusing workings under the bonnet makes me smile big-time – I can see myself doing just that. Love your treatment, too, it’s slightly hazy effect hasn’t diminished the gleam of water on the ground. Great collab.

brilliant work Mel.. well done

great job – so bright and interesting

I was going to see this looks like a Vanzella shot and then saw it actually is a shot of Vanzella! I can see how he was so excited.

Fabulous shot Mel!

Amazing and so beautiful! Love the simplicity of it and that shirt in the wind makes this shot so dynamic

Gobsmacked!!!!!

This is fabulous Mel, love it!

Love what you’ve done with this one Mel. :))

Looks like the servo at the end of the world! Great use of the space, Mel. (Thought it had some echoes of Mr V – and then realized he was actually in it).

This is so cool. Great work Mel Paul is a good model. LOL

Supacool work !!!

fantastic shot,,,,,,,,,,

Just when i think you can’t stun me anymore you produce this mel. Wonderful composition, love the windswept shirt and the use of space, brilliant.

This is such a classic image. A Vanzella setting in the hands of Mel Brackstone! Love it.
The tones are wonderful and that slash of red of the Gas Station gives it an iconic look.
Love the simplicity and composition… why Paul can never keep his shirt on or under control, I’ll never know!

Wow ! Amazing work Mel!

Cool as!

ha ha love this the guys shirt is blowing up

i love how all the negative space just pulls you in…i get a feeling of isolation when i look at this…..brilliant photography mel xxx

Wonderful wonderful!!!! From side to side !!! You do wonderful work!!!!

So much evidence, so much to survey, Mel.

This is so cool! The wet ground looks like it’s unussual in this area, but works so very well

dido Bad-harvests comment. Terrific image!

Wow a great narrative set against a minimal yet epic backdrop !

Absolutely brilliant Mel, what are the chances of finding a backdrop like that on a rainy day? I love your composition :-)

Awesome! The grimey texture in the sky is perfect! ha Paul- up to his ol ways! great!

thats really cool. Like the contrast of the colors.

v. pv!

Love this composition, and the whole scene, really!!

Absolutely brilliant Mel!! just saw this one now…
oh, how excited you both must have been to see this scenario.
love the negative space, Paul’s shirt in the wind, the processing, everything…
Yes, a tribute to the man, so well deserved… Fantastic Image!!!!

An outstanding image Mel, very well done.
