UK icons, a photo from Manchester, England

Photographer's Note

Now, it's very rare to see one of these phone booth, they have disappeared due to the use of the mobile phones, but some are still in place, and it's the opportunity to take them in picture and send it to your friends saying "I was there".

Hi Claude
Bold and beautiful eye popping boxes - they're a dying breed of an old style British iconic traditional red and how beautiful they stands out there. This works well with the other interesting characters as supporting props! A pleasure to view, Congrats.
Warm regards

Bonjour Claude,

Les Britanniques devraient utiliser ces cabines téléphoniques mythiques pour apprendre à se parler. Avec ce qui se passe au parlement on reste pantois devant autant de stupidité.

Amicalement

Hi Claude
I wonder in the future, if and when smartphones will become obsolete - just as these phone booths have. I'm sure its only a matter of time. Each and every new technology eventually gets pushed aside by something new. anyways, its a fun shot of people doing what people do when in the UK. There are still some of these in Malta, Valetta as well. cheers

These telephone booths are always photogenic. These are icons that must be preserved. Very good shot.

Bonjour Claude,

Yes, what better way to show your friends that you have visited Britain than to have your photo taken standing beside one (or two) of these iconic "K6" telephone boxes!

Your photograph is superb, showing the decisive photo being taken but also giving us a glimpse into the distance along a gallery to the right. A very strong and appealing composition with good light, rich colours and excellent detail and sharpness.

Excellent!

Amicalement,

John.

P.S. Just in case you're interested, you can buy yourself your very own old telephone box here!
