[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
These phone boxes form part of a sculpture in central Kingston. Just down from the main shopping precinct they are an eyecatching feature in an otherwise drab shopping area.

I've desaturated the buildings in the background to higlight the reds in the phoneboxes.

This is a beautoful photo. Its extremely well done, you have a very nice composition and the selective desaturation of the building makes the red really stand out.

Hai Jim, very nice composition and funny photo. Nice move to desaturate the buildings behind.

Hi Jim, and welcome to TE!

Nice shot of these phoneboxes... at first I thought maybe someone had decided to give them a tumble. As I can imagine the backdrop was really lacking color, which desaturating was a good idea to add contrast to the shot.

Well done,
Dan

Brilliant shot, Jim. This is a really wonderful work of art, with its domino phone boxes situated in a typical British street. Your post-processing really adds to the effect. Nicely framed. Well seen.

très belle construction graphique avec ces etranges cabines telephoniques qui dorment...
le rouge opposé au noir convient tres bien .
ciao

Good PoV to catch this amusing installation. Good Idea also to desaturate the background.

Great photo Jim, it's one of those photos which stands out and you just have to look at it! The shot is also taken from a great angle, adding to the visual effect.

good capture, great POV and excellent color. i like the idea to go balck and white on the background, nice!

Great that you desaturated the background to bring out the red of this nice art! Great shot~

Very interesting and geometric picture.
Interesting idea.

Lovely capture. Really like the selective desaturation...well done!
