Continuing on with my Beauty of Rubbish series, this was snapped in the Deira district of Dubai sometime in early December. I must admit the colour is not too my taste but each to their own.

A lonely persons chair by the looks of it ... Maybe it was their poor taste in interior decor?!
Makes for a nice shot though!

I'm guessing they laid on it with their legs hanging over the arm and their head on the other. That or either they had a huge bottom.

Well, you know what Freddie Mercury said, rashly assuming it wasn't a man.

Nice though (although I see what you mean about the colour - a bit more yellow in the red would have been great) and I like the ripped divan next to it. Nice frame on the wall.

I may revisit this at some point and try to sort out the red, it is a bit OTT even though I have toned it down. The colour is not clipped but it is just too violent but I suspect it has something to do with the sensor. My Nikon D7000 had an issue with reds and in some cases it was not possible to rescue the image, I think something similar has happened here. It was a vey red sofa though. Pete, do you mean add a slight yellow tint to the sofa to tame the red? Cyan is opposite to red on the HSV colour wheel, I was guessing that I should use a cyan tint.

Yes, I was thinking to warm the colour up rather than just correct it as such. Cross process would work well here I think. Maybe just a small increase in colour temperature.

I really like this...Paul. It's about about the content...the context...the composition..the conclusion...IMHO...as I spent my entire professional life trying to explain to all the highly educated and dedicated engineers that worked for me.

Paul, superb image like it a lot, something I'd consider to print after arriving at the final conclusion of processing.

Thank you, Beth, Glenn, Julian. I have printed this but on a test sheet from a sample pack of so-called "Fine Art" Papers. Actually the paper muted the colours slightly and it didn't look too bad, not the clipped block of red I was expecting. Not 100% but not bad.
