Gas mask!

Gas mask!
A piece of street art spotted in Albert Road, Southsea, Hants. Converted to mono in Silver Efex Pro.

Not sure if the notation at the bottom is the "tag" of the artist or not - but he or she is very talented.

Diane Putnam, Jean, Christina Sonnenschein and 2 other people have particularly liked this photo

I thought you RN guys called them respirators ;-)
Either way I'm sure it looks better in mono and especially with your processing, Keith. Cracking good work by both you and the original artist!

Great bit of art work and photo. I had a Mickey Mouse version during the Second World War. Don't think I would have lasted long if there had been a gas attack, It was so difficult to breathe in it.

Thanks Jean - glad you like it. WW2 was a bit before my time, but I had a similar one to the pic when I was in the RN. Very uncomfortable in use - which thankfully wasn't too often!

Very interesting. Such a thoroughly defeated look in those eyes. Interesting he or she has on a motorcycle helmet. Prepared for a riot, I guess. Great edit, too!

I think it's a representation of a policeman in riot gear!
