A Splash of Colour
Posted by DaveB (Exeter, United Kingdom) on 29 October 2007 in People & Portrait.
In the otherwise muted colours in the lobby of the British Museum, these wandering tourists provide a splash of colour!
As always, comments are welcome, particularly those offering feedback and criticism on my images! (It's the only way I'll learn!) :)

They look like very tired tourists... Nice one!

Interesting crowd scene - I wouldn't have guessed Britain at first glance! Love how multicultural the world is these days!

Good shot, nice to capture some colour amongst the greys, greens and dark clothes others were wearing.
Did you see the Terracotta Army when you visited....I heard there were queues of hundreds of people waiting to get in from 8am as it's been so popular?

@Richard_Irwin: I went towards the end of their run, but it was still pretty busy, and I was pressed for time, so I stuck with the Rosetta Stone and the Elgin Marbles instead!
@nalen: Cheers Nalen

They certainly do. It almost looks as if you've desaturated the rest of the image. Well spotted.
