    Webb's...Another Haircut

    I have been waiting this one out. Most times I go by and there is either a huge truck out front, the door is closed, Ect...I got this one on the way to work early this morning. What do you think? The only thing that really bothers me is the meterbase touching the back of the scooter. Should I clone it?

    Nice addition to your series Greg. I guess you could clone out the scooter storage thingy..or Maybe easier the meter. Try both!
    Please ask to edit photos and I'll do the same! :thumbsup:
    Thx, Rod

    Re: Webb's...Another Haircut

    Greg, excellent composition and time of capture. the man getting his haircut in the place could very well be the owner of the scooter. . .leaves us with a little story going on.
    As for cloning the meter, it is not such a problem and really is a minor nit pik that the meter touches behnd the scooter storage box. I personally feel that you should leave the scene as it was. If it were something more serious, than I'm all for cloning, but not needed here. Having the scooter trunk and the meter is more important than not having them touch

    Thanks Rick, the scooter is a sign of the times. With the price of gas they are popping up all over the place. This one is the owners I am sure. I hung around long enough to let the customer park his car and walk in to get this shot. The owner has to be in his 60's.

    Re: Webb's...Another Haircut

    Greg - I like the subject and concept but unlike the others, I think this one doesn't work as well because you seem to be too far away and have shot it at a somewhat awkward angle. I have been in situations where getting closer, or getting the angle I *wanted* so to say, would have intruded and startled the people or what not, so I had to get what I could get. I sort of see the same thing here - am I right on that? Anyway, I like your series.

    Re: Webb's...Another Haircut

    I wouldn't worry about the scooter hitting the meter. You captured a scene, and that's part of it.

    Nice shot.

    Another hit! Great series, I kind of like the distance, feels more story like to me and the scooter, kind of old meets modern. Well done
