Yes, that's a nice one !! what action did you use ? love the colors, very artisitic ! The width of the forground is great, but kind of impossible looking ? how did you do it? it is a very wide angle lense ? I really like it !, but am jealous and want to know the details ! or is it your secret family recipe ?

I have no secrets. It was taken with a wide angle zoom (18mm) but on a full frame 35mm SLR so fairly wide. Surprisingly, I did very little to this shot after taking it. Yes, I waited for a suitable figure or figures so was rather lucky that this couple were wearing red. I only had from the time they approached to stop anyone else from crossing and take the shot before the red couple reached the other side. This Bridge links the main Coach park to Bruges City centre so it is very busy. I pursuaded the first 3 or 4 folks to wait and they in turn stopped others until I had finished. I can only assume that they thought I was a professional but it shows that people can cooperate with photographers.
The only thing I did was to use the Buzz Simplifier which is sold by FO2PIX. It is a filter which can provide a nice effect but only seems to suit about 1 in 10,000 pictures.

Cracking shot Dave. Since there are few wide angles that work well with a full-frame I'd be very interested to know which lens. TIA.

simple and story book looking, a great effect of creative effort. Like your story of how you took your picture.
