Default The Scotsman


Link to flickr


I was taking shots of this fella before a Train Official told me I wasn't allowed to take photos in a train station. I'm not sure the validity of that, but I didn't want my prized DSLR to be messed with so I respected what he had to say and moved on.

Any suggestions on this photo? I was considering rotating it because the landscape is not flat to the camera, but I feel this is true to the man's body instead. I think the colours are spot on, but what WOULD you do to change this?

I love this picture! It would be nice if the white column wasn't in the picture, but, I like it anyway. The guy probably told you to stop taking pictures because of terrorism, at least, that's my guess.

Anyway, great shot!!

It's an interesting image, but I don't think it's a portrait.

Default crop?

I guess I would see if a crop of just the Scotsman could work....
