Urban Diva
#sliderssunday
A simple selective colour slider. Selective colour lent itself to this image, I think. At first, I only desaturated the background, but it was still a little too distracting. The building in the background has a facade with lots of glass and is also clad in orange tiles so there was too much going on colour-wise.
As for the title: The traffic cone reminds me of a diva, a photo model, or even a screen goddess posing at a photoshoot for a fashion magazine – albeit in a somewhat grungy, scruffy Berlin fashion ;) The person responsible for putting up this traffic cone and the caution tape clearly took pride in his/her job, making the cone and the carefully draped streamer look like an urban "Gesamtkunstwerk" (total work of art).
HSS, Everyone!
