A Scotsman in London
He doesn’t look too happy to be there either, possibly because he was originally advertising the fact the tobacconist shop stocked Scottish snuff while successfully avoiding the laws prohibiting shopkeepers from having overhead signs. This chap is gracing a traditional tobacconist’s shop in Covent Garden and is distinctly not amused by all the high jinks going on around him.
This GX200 shot was converted from raw in RPP and then imported into Aperture. The standard import preset was applied and only some recovery and a very slight s-curve were applied in addition. The major editing decision was to crop fairly tightly using a 16:9 format. I had already taken the decision when capturing the image that the grey skies outside would have to be blown in order to get the balance of the remainder of the right.

We used to have a wooden indian in the town where I grew up…out in front of the tobacco store. I never realized how rare it was til recently. Great shot.
