Blue Monday

I took this shot in Nice, France. The original shot was non-digital, so I took a digital photo of the shot and tried a blue tint. I kind of like it this way…it’s like he’s a detective and only The Shadow Knows…for sure. :)
I originally caption titled the photo:
Pondering My Past, Present & Future
(seems like this chap could be doing that as well).

Blue Monday belongs to the following groups:

EF Welcome Center and Minimalism

Love all the negative space, the simplicity of the lines and the tone to set the mood.

I definitely like the blue coloring, and the new title is perfect. The composition is wonderful. This would be lovely as a mounted print, hung in an appropriate location!! Very nice, Michael :o)

Love the negative space being behind the subject and not in front with him looking into it – well thought out.

judging by his dress, pose and the fact that he’s looking out of the shot…almost as if he walked through it, then stopped…i’d say he’s an older guy…pondering his past. it must be a good past because he is standing proud! it’s superb michael!

Great shot, Michael-~~perfect composition with the guy off to the side! The blue tint works really well with the fact that the guy is using an umbrella~~-wet and probably cold outside! I like the slight backlighting on him, too—not quite a silhouette!
