My deepest thanks, Dan and Allan. I have spent literally all day revamping my printed portfolio, and while looking at and for my zillions of photos filed all over the place, I found this one that I took when I was in London. You guys are really nice!!

Good use of selective color, Kathleen! The red phone booth just pops from the screen and takes viewers’ attention immediately!

Excellent contrast in colors!
I really love what you did with this.
The booth really pops out of the image but also, the leading sidewalk and the street balance the image well, kk.

Love your selective coloring with this wonderful composition, Kathleen! It's also reassuring to see one of these still in London. Just a few days ago, a friend of mine from the UK and I decided that all the red phone booths must now be in front of restaurants in the US!!
