Blue Monday

Beautifully captured!

A really nice shot and I too like the blue it sets the mood.

Love the tone and comp in this shot, well done !!

Great street shot, Michael :)
Nice composition and concept.

Hey Michael will have to FAV this as it reminds me of my Mr Goodnight series
:)))) really love this

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)

Just a perfect image … captivating in all respects

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

Moody)

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!

For some reason, this LOOKS like it was taken in France…nice job!

and stunning it looks too :)

Fantastic shot Michael…Love the framing of teh shot and color/silhouted balance

perfect composition and treatment

well done Michael the treatment works really well!

Another great thought provoking shot, I always look at these and come up with a short story in my head…This one has a long story

Stunning work. Perfect colour for a Monday.

Absolutely Love this Image Michael. Either title would fit.

Oh, am I seeing the comeback of the Michael story photos??? I secretly love those…..they are just so much fun !!! This is AWESOME!!

This works well

I like this title and the treatment ;-)

VERY NICE LOOK

You’ve done well in your choice! It’s so mody and beautiful at the same time….Excellent!

WOW!! I LOVE the treatment. It was a brilliant Idea!!! Great work.

Nice composition and concept.

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!

Nice work on this!

Very quiet + pensive

love the mood you set here…beautiful capture.

Excellent composition, colour and mood, great work!

I absolutely love this image. The tones, the composition is perfect!

I love the blue!!!! I do wonder what might have been on his mind. I bet you could come up with a short story to go with this…..Kim

O.o!! The Shadow…. CRACK me up, Michael! Only The Shadow Knows… XD Though, this shot is beautifully done-Kudos to your talent.
