tyan from Singapore, Singapore
hoho,psss,maybe he was doing a handsign to some spy behind you and you blocked his view!LOL
I remember my uncle sleeping with his thumb and second finger sticking out,looking like a gun. We thought he must be very stressed,had to be on his guard even when he is sleeping!:)

MrsAmber from United Kingdom
This is fantastic in many ways; the spot of colouring, the subject, black and white and the title. Had to look at it for a while to work out the title...but got there in the end. It is really good!

@MrsAmber: Thank you for your very generous comment Mrs. A, I appreciate it ;)
@Hidalgo: Thanks very much Hidalgo :) are you talking about colour selection? very easy to do, download Picasa3, it's free and it has many useful options, one is to add blur or and to colour/selection an object and throw everything else in b&w, it's easy and it's fun

Kathycalculates from Indianapolis, United States
You are so observant! It took me a little while to see the "three"! Do you think he was sending you a signal? Like meet me at TH in three minutes for a cup of coffee? lol!

Ajay from Pune, India
It took me some time to understand you title. Very creative.
23 Apr 2009 12:55pm
@Ajay: Thanks for the comment and the visit Ajay, I appreciate it :)
Bookfool from Mississippi, United States
I had to search for the meaning of that title, too. I love your life photos. My entire family gets upset if I take pictures of "total strangers", although I still do so on occasion. Keep up the good work, Rainy!
23 Apr 2009 1:16pm
@Bookfool: lol you should see my son's reaction when he's with me and I take photos of total stranger, even worse when I go up to them to show them, he's mortified LOL Good thing I'm usually alone, thanks a lot Booky :)
Nina from Hamburg, Germany

Viewfinder from Bradenton, FL, United States
Subtle. The fingers and the slight red glow of the hood. Nice visioning - and processing to match, Lorraine.
23 Apr 2009 2:55pm
@Viewfinder: Such a lovely comment Vf, thanks a lot :)
Janice Thomson from Canada

Great selective coloring here, just enough. Hmmm, something in code going on here, keep an eye on this guy for evidence. Well spotted, Lorraine.
23 Apr 2009 6:51pm
@Barbara: mmm one wonders ....lol bet we could come up with quite a scenario Barb LOL ;)
kerfendal from Paris, France

@kerfendal: J'aime beaucoup ton interprétation max, merci ;)
JoeB from Brampton, Canada
Can't help but think about the style of the times, especially the hoodies that everyone seems to wear. Its like their hiding not wanting to be known or seen. Oh in case you didn't know the three fingers is the sign vampires use for signaling each other. :D
24 Apr 2009 12:56am
@JoeB: Mmm interesting Joe, but I know my vampires, and they go KABOOM in sunlight...
Ron from Saint Louis, United States
Terrific selective color, Lorraine ... there's such a strong sense of isolation in this image ... ron
24 Apr 2009 1:16am
@Ron: Thanks for your lovely comment Ron :)
@JJ: I appreciate that JJ, thank you ;)
Lee from Fort Frances Ontario, Canada
Great processing. You have a good eye for spotting uniqueness. A well matched title. Great job Lorraine.

dobbino from Cape Town, South Africa
Yep - the processing is excellent. I really like the tiny bit of colour coming through.
24 Apr 2009 1:44pm
@dobbino: Thanks very much Rob ;)
Japanalia from Yokohama, Japan
XXIst century hidalgo! Well, we've got to do with what we have! But....if he only knew.....how most attractively you've introduced him to us!!! I like the processing very much, the result is exciting!
