After the snow and frost  the rain started today with climbing temperatures.

D600  50/1.4G             IR filter 720nm

This is a seemingly randomly composed glimpse of an everyday scene that manages to tell a lot nevertheless. The juxtaposition of the visual elements works very well and the unrest created by the blurred person on the right adds a lot of interest to the outcome. I would have wished for a better and crisper b/w rendition though.

(in my mother tongue, there is an obscenity in the bicycle label -- additional spice to the scenery --)

Thanks for commenting Birna. Much appreciated.

I re-posted a real B/W version. 

In the earlier post-processings the attention was more on available colour (if any)

The updated b/w version indeed looks better, agreed.

The language is pretty universal as expressed on the warning sign :D

I know the family owns an original Wetterhoun a pedigree dog from Friesland, (Netherlands).
Hence the sign, nice dog not aggressive.

The language is pretty universal as expressed on the warning sign :D

That is not the most joyful work, is it?
