So if you Meet Me [...] Have Some Taste!, a photo from London, England

Photographer's Note

Departing from Covent Garden for a while, I show you the Buckingham Palace. This guy in his yellow T-shirt was kind enough to provide a complementary to the deep blue sky (see WS). What is more, he was kind enough to make this classy move after he took the picture with his analog camera!

hello Gyorgy, Fantastic composition, the sharpness is great, you were lucky to have this guy in yellow (when there is no red, yellow will also do :)). Perfect symmetry. Trekkers are crazy - 108 people saw it and it is the first note. The postcard form Workshop is terrific. The postcards lovers would be very proud to show a picture like this.
Kind regards MAlgo

Hello Gyorgy.
I agree with regard to the function of the yellow color in the color balance of the photo. In addition, the slightly decentralized human figure and its shadow on the ground attenuate the architectural symmetry of the frame.
I wish a great day.

Hi Gyorgy,you found the perfect actor for pics from this famous square,in effect yellow and blue are always a perfect couple of colors,i like a lot this original post,it's very rare to see someone still works with the analog camera,wonderful postcard in the WS too. Have a nice Sunday and thanks,Luciano

Hello Gyцrgy,
Nobody should question your choice of main photo, even though I guess some are very fond of postcards. The contrasts of colours, the man's gesture with his left hand, the perfect sharpness and the perfect cropping make this by far the most interesting of these three photos. The WS are also worth seeing.
Regards,
Gert

Hi Gyorgy
Well-used photo opportunity. The yellow T-shirt is a perfect addition to the sky/architecture combination and the guy's pose is perfect. It's nice he's facing you but I like the WS shot too - typical scene of people in, what I call (referring to the raised, smartphone-holding hands), "modern-day prayer pose". ;-)
The "postcard" WS is lovely too and the red flowers make me realise that I was there only a week later than you. Against what people think, it's rare for me to travel to central London - I live in the Wild West and work in the Deep South. :-)
Best wishes
Kasia

Hello Gyorgy,
There is lots to admire about this photo. The symmetrical architecture is shown perfectly but the man in yellow really does make this superb.
Kind Regards, Ann

An elegant and very sharp photo of the Buckingham Palace, nice central composition, instead of lady in red you have a man in yellow :)

Hi Gyorgy
You're right as he did you a great favour there with his outstanding eye-popping colour, to otherwise looks an ordinary trigger-happy tourist click-click formality! Timing is the key here with his natural feel of stride. Nice candid, Congrats
Best regards
