A great Mal pic ! very well constructed and with so nice tones. Perhaps a little to much foreground for my taste... Cropping the half of the foreground under the first seats should be fine for me and give a little plus to this superb shot. A suggestion, as always... I am incorrigible, sorry....
Cheers,
Fernand

Mal Smart lol - incorrigible you are Fernand! I have a similar framed shot of this scene that you suggest, I like that one to, maybe I should have gone with it! lol.

as always thank you Fernand. mal

cracking cheese! great capture Mal....feels like a movie scene indeed. Wonder if you ever did see more of him, or just his trousers...

flo 4 years ago

I have many things to learn with you and your photos, Mal, you know.. and first I love the sensation of empty feeling, but I think you can have a different picture , if you just keep the lower part of the picture..and take of roof and handfuls..The sensation of emptyness is increased..But it's just my opinion, Mal..nothing very important

Mal Smart always value your honest opinion Flo. I took about 6 shots of this guy one of them is very close the framing that you suggest - I nearly posted that one! Good suggestion Flo, thankyou for making it. mal

This still works a treat in b/w, but I liked the color version much better.

Mal Smart I thought it might struggle to get on in colour Martin but maybe you are right. mal

Emily Bem 4 years ago

Mal, GOOD eye! I love it! It looks like a pair of abandoned legs! LOL!

Mal Smart A friend said that I had stolen some shop manakin legs for the shot! But I assured him that the legs did indeed belong to a body! lol. mal

Ursula I Abresch 4 years ago

I really like this image, but I must admit that I have no clue why the title is "the wrong trousers". What's wrong with them?

Mal Smart Yes, the title is a bit obscure Ursula. The colour version of this reveal his trousers to be a very loud orange and just plain aweful, lol. The reference was to the animated film by Nick Park called the wrong trousers http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wrong_Trousers cheers Ursula. mal

Ursula I Abresch Ah, all right. Thanks! :)

I loved this in the voting process. Well composed, and so balanced except for his legs and feet. BRAVO. Terrific lighting and leading line.

Mal Smart thank you very much Judy. There were 3 carrages to the train and this guy and I were the only people on it. cheers. mal

Ralf Stelander 4 years ago

This is just in my taste master-class Mal! Not too much in your face, but very discrete and clever.

Mal Smart it must have been a mistake then Ralf, I have never been discrete or clever! lol. Many thanks Ralf. mal
