A touch of colour


Canon 5DMkll, EF 24-70 f/2.8 L, 1/250sec, f/2.8, ISO 100

This post box is in danger of disappearing behind the ivy so I thought this treatment would give it a chance to show.
The box is probably 60+ years old, the GR stands for George Rex (King George) and the last one we had was the present Queens father who died in 1952 It could be a lot older, there is no indication as to which George is involved and there have been six kings with that name.
[ Update  Further research has narrowed the cypher to George V which gives a date range for the box of 1910 - 1936 ]

Processing:
Duplicated the original layer; converted the top layer to black and white; erased the box on the top layer to let the colour show through.
