Red Royal Mail Postbox. Suitable for Christmas posting. Heaton Mersey, Stockport.

Over recent months I’ve seen comments about Alamy to the effect that the one thing it doesn’t is another post box image!  Well it’s got another one.  This one.

This image is however a little different.  When I processed it I had in mind to do a traditional “spot colour” effect (ie everything in black and which except one detail) instead I opted for a slightly different approach.  Black and white but with a spot colour effect for the red of the post box and another spot colour effect on the green holly that surrounds it.

Hopefully that will make it stand out from the crowd.  I think it might appeal to anyone looking for an image to illustrate “last posting for Christmas”?
