The Japanese have a phrase " beauty is a rotten tooth" so you are not alone is seeing something fine in an unlikely place.Now I shall go out and find a few flys on a dog's turd!.
Such a wonderful shot. It is so true that some people forget to look for the beauty in seemingly ordinary things but if you really opened your eyes .... you will see so many nice things to appreciate. Thank you for sharing this photo with us and for the comments regarding the photo. Have a great day :-)
This is my pick and obviously, others see the beauty in the color and composition too. You've found great beauty in what others would probably pass buy. thanks for capturing it for us. vote.
excellent one, i must say this is one of the best in your wonderful collection in terms of simplicity of the subject and colours and great composition. grest capture,Adrian. my V!
This really should be set to a Smiths song, like "This Night has Opened My Eyes." Calming but melancholy - the mood is as strong as the aesthetic appeal, here.
A wonderful range of colours there. Your story reminds me of the line from a Faithless song... "...you don't need eyes to see you need vision." A vote for your vision!
There is nothing really that I can add, except my vote. This is just fabulous Adrian.

Adrian, thanks for the kind comment on my still life. I understand what you mean. People see through whatever "lenses" they happen to favor. I see you favor lifeloving color and perspective lenses. Excellent work. Luke
Ade this is your best yet - how to top this?????
Fantastic story and so so true!
This is awesome, fantastic, brilliant, so many words but I'd rather just look at the beauty! (v)
Hurray! FANTASTIC image and commentary! So happy you had opportunity to engage the woman and highlight the beauty to be found everywhere. It is in the perspective and perception. Bravo.
I find it hard to talk about photography with people,
You just have to show them....
.... I doubt that the woman in the 'takeaway' will ever see this, but I wish she could.
Brilliant reflections, and a funny story that sounds familiar to me. Many times I have heard something like "What are you doing here, there is absolutely nothing worth taking a picture of..." Unfortunately it is diffficult to proof such people they are wrong. The old lady in Griffitstown probably never will see this excellent image...
Superb picture but even better when topped off with your story. Good for you!
(My son has a friend who aspires to photography but hasn't taken any pictures since September because 'it's winter, nuffin to take'. Ric showed him PBase - he was amazed!)
