Tressie Davis July 23, 2006

Love the vibrant colors here throughout the image, and the tiny figure power walking through! #489479

Carolyn Foster Spano July 23, 2006

Thanks Tressie. I loved the colors. They are real. I didn't do this in PS. They had painted the building, but had enough respect for the old 7up painted-on billboard to not paint over it. It immediately grabbed my attention and at just the perfect moment, the business man walked into the frame. It wouldn't be the same without him. #3065682

Kenneth Mucke July 23, 2006

i LOVE those color combos....and catching that guy walking by and no one else..was timeless.. #3067158

Ross Throndson July 23, 2006

Now this is Truly a Fantastic Capture...Great Composition, Color & Timing...PERFECT!!! :^) #3067616

Carolyn Foster Spano July 24, 2006

Thank you Kenneth and Ross. I also have a shot of this scene with a vintage weird-green pickup truck in the photo, but a lady and her dog were on the opposite corner and sort of mucked up the shot. I would have loved it with the truck but the woman and dog made it to hard to edit them out. Oh well, we are going back in Sept. Who knows, maybe I will get lucky again. #3068957

Amy JACKSON July 24, 2006

Wonderful capture, Carolyn!! I love the composition and colors, and getting the man was a plus especially because of his white shirt which compliments the window!! #3069720

Carolyn Foster Spano July 24, 2006

Thank you very much Amy. I did get lucky with the man walking into the scene! #3070235

Chastity Abbott July 24, 2006

WOW...those colors sure are bold, and accenting that 7up sign very well...the way you were able to capture a modern day man along the side walking was great too!! #3070358

Carolyn Foster Spano September 09, 2006

Thank you to everyone for your kind words and thank you to Better Photo for the perfect timing in choosing this image for POTD. I was released from the hospital yesterday and found that this image had been chosen as POTD. It was a real pick-me-up for me. The irony here is that I was supposed to be back in Asheville last night but because of my trip to the hospital and diagnosis I had to cancel my trip. Thanks again to all of you for your kindness and to BP for having perfect timing! #3287597

Allan L. Dy September 10, 2006
