Delicate Painted Ladies "Behind the Mask"
by Melethia

Comment by posthumous:
The ironically-named Delicate Painted Ladies came late to the Punk Rock scene, but quickly made up for lost time. During every show they would paint each other with metallic colors, but not delicately! Mostly, they would just throw cups of paint at each other. They broke up in 1982 when their lead singer was arrested for attempting to dig up John Lennon.

"By the way, this isn't desaturated - the rain and the light just make it look that way!"

... and I thought you were just being subtle. :-)
Beautiful photo.

I'm over here, Mom!

Another wonderful shot. I really admire how you see scenes and turn them into photos.

Deb, if this image tells you anything, it's to keep trying different ideas and using what you've learned. A 7.5 average from commenters during the challenge and a raft of VERY positive comments since, 3 favorites ... I mean, people would kill for that kind of reaction.

Speaking of which, I think it's terrific! Your composition, choice of color and how you used it, all combined to create a wonderful image of a mundane object.

Okay, this is really weird, but I think I know that guy in the foreground! He looks just like a friend of mine who used to be in the Navy.

You did a great job with motion capture here, and the composition is great, especially for a candid like this. I would have expected this one to crack 6. The light pole adds a cool almost post-modern presence to it.

Great shot and reflection, Deb. The reds really jump off the photo.
