Well seen Lorraine, love the selective coloring

Kylie Greenan from Richmond, Australia
This is really cool Lorraine, I like the selective colour, the cart kind of gives the feeling of a neglected home and the place next to it is so beautiful, such a great contrast and wonderfully presented.

@Kylie Greenan: Wow, neat compliment, thanks a lot Kylie :)

Linerberry from Sumner, Christchurch, New Zealand
Yehay, its the cart crew:-) (just been to Joes blog). What a wonderful image...its like a fairy tale book cover...love the hazy feel and the select colour!!!

@Linerberry: Hey thanks LinerB, you're probably the only one besides Joe that will understand this ;)
akarui from Kagoshima, Japan
May be you wanted to show the corner more than the cart as this part is in colour? For this reason I would prefer an other crop without it...
14 Sep 2008 9:17am
@akarui: Hi Olivier, thanks it's really all Joe's fault :)
Michael Skorulski from Cigel, Slovakia
We used to like to ride around on them as kids and push them a long way from the supermarket. I really like your selective color here, Lorraine.

@Michael Skorulski: Glad you enjoyed Michael, thanks always :)
Betty from New Jersey, United States
Nice selective color, Lorraine! The cart adds to the mood as Kylie said.
14 Sep 2008 11:05am
@Betty: Thanks so much Sweetie, blame this on Joe, 'cause I would have cropped it out, really...
nanne from Netherlands

greetings, Nanne from Friesland

@nanne: Hi Nanne, thanks so much, I appreciate your visits, I went to yours (delighful photos) but it's not Am3, and because it's not, i can't leave comment unless I open an account with them, and I have enough blogs as it is, in fact I just deleted 2, cause I couldn't keep up with 5 and all my trillions of visitors site ;)
@Veronelle: Merci beaucoup Veronelle ;)
@roentarre: Thanks Roentarre, I appreciate it ;)
JoeB from Brampton, Canada
It has a layered compressed effect, that's the feeling I like about it. Be very careful with carts they can be habit forming.
14 Sep 2008 1:57pm
@JoeB: Not with me, Joe, hate the darn things...except they look soooo good on your site. Still I would have have cropped it out, absolutely no doubt about it, would have just kept the house. But then I looked and I was posting it on a Sunday, and I thougth cart, Sunday, Joe...let's leave it on! It's all your fault. I should sue!
bluechameleon from Vancouver, Canada
Interesting use of selective colouring Lorraine. It's as if you are showing life fading...what was is not perhaps no so much.
Great mood.
14 Sep 2008 2:10pm
@bluechameleon: O Wise one ;) thanks so much Blue!
@Marcie: Thanks so much Marcie, i appreciate it :)
Michael Rawluk from Prince George, Canada
Beautifully done, Lorraine, but it looks like they could use a little pruning.
14 Sep 2008 3:58pm
@Michael Rawluk: No doubt lol thanks a lot Michael :)
@kathy: Hey sweetie, thanks a lot :)
tyan from Singapore, Singapore
you know,we also have carts from supermarket like that..and there was a period of time when people just push these carts home with their groceries and never returned them and many were abandoned or stolen..so now we have to insert a dollar coin everytime we use a cart..i didnt think it was very useful because come to think of it,$1 is not a lot to pay for a cart,LOL
14 Sep 2008 4:22pm
@tyan: lol oh that's too good Tyan, some of this world's brain activity needs a big push, I guess they presume that those people who don't want to bother bringing it back, would also not bother putting a loony ($1) in...
Janice Thomson from Canada
How very clever my friend. Excellent use of selective colouring! Love this.
14 Sep 2008 4:39pm
@Janice Thomson: Thanks so much Dear Janice :)
Marion from Nanaimo, BC, Canada
Personally I love the touch of color in the corner. Makes the picture!! But then I have always loved your pictures and your sense of timing, composition and placement of color. Way to go Lorraine!!!!!
14 Sep 2008 5:57pm
@Marion: Wow, that's a lovely compliment Marion, thanks sweety :)
MJ from Delaware, United States
great selective color..... you are so imaginative
14 Sep 2008 6:41pm
@MJ: That's a nice compliment, thanks so much Mj :)
Richard_Irwin from Belper, United Kingdom
The ubiquitous shopping trolley, round here the kids chuck them in the canal, or push them over the bridge onto the railway line, but then I live in an uncivilized island. I must say, your trolley looks carefully poised, like its on a journey of self-discovery.... or should that be self-delivery.
14 Sep 2008 7:35pm
@Richard_Irwin: LOL brilliant and oh so funny a comment, thanks a lot Richard ;)
Wolfgang - vu@granby from Granby, Québec, Canada
Très beau ce traitement! Pour moi le flou donne une atmosphère romantique, peut-être parce que je suis un gars romantique?
N.B.: vu@granby redémarre demain!
14 Sep 2008 8:20pm
@Wolfgang - vu@granby: Merci beaucoup Gilles, pis 'y temps, j'ai même reçu des question de mes visiteurs à ce sujet lol
Rui from Leiria, Portugal
Very nice work with the selective color. And the cart... well remembers me cart races we used to do when I was a kid. Well done
14 Sep 2008 9:24pm
@Rui: Glad you enjoyed Rui, thanks a lot!
Observing from West Cheshire, United Kingdom
I like how you have the cart in the gray area, and the nicer houses in color. They look traditional houses, how old are they...?
14 Sep 2008 10:18pm
@Observing: Hey Mike, thanks a lot, I'm ignorant of all matters of age and subject I only shoot ;)
Nina from Hamburg, Germany
Beautiful selective color... and what's to say about the cart...perhaps a bit of mysteriously ...or simply forgotten by someone? Really an interesting photo, Lorraine! :)
14 Sep 2008 11:18pm
@Nina: Hey Nina, the mystery is with Joe...follow the link ;)
@laughingwolf: quit stealing my lines...
@Siam: Merci beaucoup Siam :)
Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States
A very complex composition; it works Lorraine. I really like this, and how you chose to process it.

marianne from Toulouse, from France, France
cette photographie représente un certain travail, flou artistique, couleurs dirigées , et pourtant elle est très douce, elle paraît si simple, si "nature" ... tout cela pour dire que tu as fait un excellent travail dont on se rend compte après ...
une belle carte postale, avec un peu de neige, cela me ferait penser au père noel ...
oui, moi j'y crois au père noel !!!

ha -- i love the idle cart that feels so 'out of place' in this comfortable sunny neighborhood! great catch!

Barbara from Florida, United States
I love the scene, the structure and the way you kept selective color is excellent. A charming feel to this.
