Ah, makes sense now. Thanks for the clarification.

Aam, thank you. It's nice to know that somebody knows that I certainly know what I'm doing. I personally am not so sure :-) What about un-natural colors - may be this is because a) to high ISO (my fault - did have no time to set it back) and b) this whole area was lighted (and very strong) by reflected light from the right green tower which was giving the scene interesting nuance. So, this un-natural color was caused by a natural reason. Some times I really overplay by PP but not in this case. Konstantin

Excellent photo, Konstantin. You certainly know what you are doing. If I were to critique it I would say it looks a bit un-natural to me. Have no idea what it is but the light/shadow is not natural to my eyes. Heavily processed perhaps.

Ladies & Gentlemen, thanks for your comment. I was also thinking which picture would be better to post – this one or just with the boy against the yellow background. Finally I decided to post this picture as I find it more interesting. Basically, I think, the small superman gave zest to it. It was my luck that I was on right place at the right time having camera ready to shoot. Sure I will post another picture to Pending or maybe to Eligible if I don’t find something better. Konstantin

I like it the way it is... Penny Street

Very nice Konstantin! Although this is perfectly on topic as-is, it looks like there is a lot of detail in the image and it would be fun for us to see a tight crop of the little boy against the yellow background. Could you put one in pending for us to see? He is so cute in that costume! :-) CJ

I too would like to see Superman fill the screen with that pure yellow backdrop. -COAmature

Cool angle of the building and I like the little superman for perspective.

Thanks for your comment - Superman indeed ... sorry, I'm not so familiar with American folklore. Basically I was just thinking if this building - Leisure Park Shopping Centre - with its colored towers and reflections on blue background would be on topic as this young man suddenly appeared in the viewfinder. So I did have no time to re-compose – just shoot. He disappeared then like the wind … you know these supermen … What about his “size” – he is Superman Junior, isn’t he? Konstantin

Superman actually. I would love it if he was bigger since you have decided he was the subject. Nice picture still.

LOL, funny picture, anonymous! Would you please add your name as it is mandatory to indicate the photographer's name. -Gerald
