Function doesn't always follow form

[condyk]

An abandoned house on a busy street. A disused drain pipe finds itself reborn as a rubbish receptacle while the ex-home crumbles around it.

I suspect the one person wanders this way regularly, but do they always conveniently finish the bag as they pass, hold on to it until they get here, or stand around eating while waiting for someone to pick them up? I dunno! S/he clearly likes eating crisps (potatoe chips to our US friends!)

Pick the B&W or colour version ;-)

color version for sure. i like the contrast in color

[Photodawg1]

Color, color ...COLOR! :)

color- gives me a better idea about what the rubbish stashed there is making either of the versions of the story you mention visible.
well seen.

The colour one certainly helps to convey the rubbish message more effectively, and it is weird that it has built up like that. Perhaps it was a visiting crisp eating convention that had passed by? ;)

Very nice Dave, I too prefer the colour version. That one hole in the drain pipe is just screaming to be plugged the next time the 'mystery' person passes by!

[sprinkles]

looks like the old pipe has found a new purpose in life :mrgreen:

love the colours, so i guess its the colour version for me too. ;)

[Choderboy]

Colour version for me. Adds to the old / new contrast.

[Mandragora]

color for sure. much more interesting shot

[Croasdail]

Colour... absolutely no doubt.

[condyk]

Agreed lads and ladies. I have been on a minor B&W thing this last month or so after getting a decent filter for PS but there is a time for it and this needs the colour. Taken in the glare of a 29 degree C mid day sun so shame some of the colour and contrast is washed out as a result. The bags are wrappers are nice and bright against the dull backdrop.

Nice shot, colour for sure!

My old design professor would have blown a gasket if he heard you say something like that..lol

[penfolduk]

I have an unrelated question: Are you using photoshop to make those frames? I know this is probably a ridiculously basic question, but how exactly are you doing it? You may PM me if you like :)

Condy,

This picture not just image of thing stuck on wall but also documentary of human behavioring. Go back ever week or two to see how scene change and maybe catch someone stick thing in wall. You think right that one persone does this thing.

[JMAS]

The different textures are better shown by the colour version.

Interesting shot.

Mikes Frames for use with different PS versions or Elements ... do a Google, but he is also a member here. Very comprehensive but I like simple myself :-)
