in and on the Bloor

More entertaining than a movie.

I wish this could be bigger on screen, so you could see the faces better.

dude, stop posting good pics! i can't keep up! no seriously, i like how the clown seems about to cause a ruckus, the "Bon Cop, Bad Cop" title, and the 5 people on the overhang balance out the composition. question: do you do something in photoshop in order to get such cold colours? tomorrow's photo on my blog will be in honor of this one.

@Zach Siebert: Effusive! Seriously, thanks, Zack. Tomorrow, I'll send you a downsized (resized so it's small enough for email) version of the Photoshop file so you can see what's going on colour-wise. I use a non-destructive workflow mostly, so the layers palette will give you a pretty good idea. I look forward to your post tomorrow.

NIce work again Damon. You're in the groove with this series.

@Duncan Galbraith: Thanks Duncan! I wish it was just that little bit better, but it'll do. I've got a few more to it, and then I'll get back to subjects that are more typical for me.

Whoaaaaaaaaaa! Great!

By the way, they're playing "Monty Python and the Holy Grail"? That's a pretty old movie...

@Mammoth in Chief: Thanks so much Mammoth! The Bloor Cinema plays mostly newish, but also many old, fims. Rocky Horror Picture Show at 11:30 on Friday nights! A neighbourhood treasure.

Michael Zhang from New York City, United States

I agree, 800px across is not big enough for a photo like this. I like how the clown is just walking into the frame with all the faces towards him.

@Michael Zhang: Thanks, Michael. I guess I could have posted it rotated 90° and 800 wide...

Martine Lapointe from Quebec, Canada

Like you said, it would be interesting to check all the faces in this picture! Very nice.

@Martine Lapointe: Given our sizing restraints here, I wanted to show the collective more than the individuals. Thanks.

H.O from Victoria, Canada

I love this expression and nice colors.

@H.O: Thank you. First I made the colours stronger, and then I faded them away.
