Hope you still have all your fingers at the end of the day

Geoff,
I'm not sure exactly why, but this photograph amuses the hell out of me.
I'd be tempted to crop up a bit though- to reduce the amount of OOF stuff on the lower left.
Happy birthday.
Charlie

...it's a fireworks stand AND a mobile home! How ingenious!
Agree with Charlie...I saw this and was amused right away. Cant' quite put my finger on it, but it has a certain charm about it.
I actually like the out of focus stuff on the left though. Gives it a certain "dated" look.

Thanks Charlie and Tim. Obviously this place is no longer in business. I'm sure it couldn't compete with the fireworks mega-marts we have here. I took this photo on 7/2, and wanted to get it posted by the 4th, so I did a quick and dirty PP. I added a vignette and some grain, and overexposed a bit to give it a dated look. I really should go back there and shoot some film in my Holga. Then I wouldn't have to add those things...the camera does that for me

I kinda like the OOF areas...different strokes. I have a few others, maybe I'll work on them.

loads of charm, and I like the extra processing.
regards, tom

yeah i ment to say to all you guys in the US, happy birthday America!

I think the shot is fab with lots of feeling, maybe clone the wire out though


Cheers
