Melbourne Candid Series #1167 Flinders St

 


Along Flinders Street the footsteps beat,
A chap moves steady through the heat.
Dark glasses hide his guarded gaze,
A cap pulled low in city haze.

Upon his chest, in black and white,
The Collingwood crest declares its might.
He walks with pride, both firm and free,
A living note in Melbourne’s symphony.

  1. I have often seen dude or woman wearing Dark glasses here on the street. I am sure of they can see me through their dark glassess. You captured the dude with the same dark glassess too. He could have seen you at the same time

  2. Un buen retrato con el fondo bien desenfocado para centrar la vista en el personaje.

  4. This captures the rhythm and character of the city beautifully. The blend of movement, attire, and sporting pride really paints a vivid picture of Melbourne life.

  5. It was a great idea to place the protagonist at one end of the image and blur the rest to give depth.

  8. Holding a phone, walking in a pedestrian area and wearing a football team shirt and sunglasses: that's really a great f1.2 portrait.
