[☠northy]

@lynnb it was a bit crisp early this morning... but positively lovely by mid-day :)

[Mac]

This is terrific! Contrast made and I want to examine every bit of it.

[Edie]

Fav. Fantastic.

[Mary Downing Hahn]

Love it -- real life standing next to unreal life.

[Simply Amanda]

Great street shot and contrast!

[Sean]

[joey d.Muli]

A+ for the concept--- & love the super cool contrast !!:)

[bardejov]

Great shot. Nice motion captured in the background.

[Rafa Seno]

So classy. Like an ad in Vogue Italia or something! Verry niiice!

[☯ Sarah ☁]

Great shot, man she looks boorrred!

[Taffy]

Really great example -- the contrasting expressions are priceless.

[Jani M]

Very cool contrasting looks. The truck in the back provided a nice clean background for the lady, love that!

[Johanna]

The lady's expression speaks volumes.

[Jocasta]

Love everything about this candid street photo - there's something about the juxtaposition of the woman waiting and the super large model. Definite big FAV

[Dandolo]

Lovely street shot. The poster seems to looking straight at you.

[Breigh]

Nice shot! It could almost be one of those "This is who I used to be" type of photos...

[Tamzin]

Agree - does look like the poster's looking at you - almost like she's asking you to comment on the woman in front

[Bankmann]

Very well observed. Fascinating contrasts.

[Caroline]

Ooh nice contrasts. Fave.

[Humphrey Hippo]

Cool contrast - real life vs advertising fantasy. Like the motion blur in the background.

[The Mysterious Mr Biscuit]

When I first glanced at this I thought "Yeah, okay.. Black & white. Contrast. So what?" Then I looked, and saw what you meant. Fav.

Tag it with may-contrast for http://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/17675/composition-theme-contrast-for-may :-)

[The Mysterious Mr Biscuit]

By the way, it really adds something when you say where it is and I know where you mean :)

[Gloria]

This is fabulous. Well spotted, as they say ;-)

[Sue Rose]

Great shot and I love both their expressions!

[Al Bailey]

Fab contrast!! lovely shot :)

[Rachel Mackenzie]

Fantastic street capture. Really wonderful contrast.

[emily tull]

LOVE that the advert is looking right at us and joe public seems unaware

[Lisa Pouncy]

:o) Smiling at your tags. Don't worry (although I'm always apologising about it too!) Love the comp here. She looks a joy to be with doesn't she ;o) xx

[Lisa]

Great shot - love the contrast between the bored lady at the bus stop and the glam one in the movie poster! Commenting - I'm sinking not swimming! : )) fav

[Gail]

I love street shots.... this one has a whole unspoken story, which I really like. Well done. Fav.

[Andreas]

I completely agree with @breigh , they could be the same person in different stages of life. I think they have a rather similar expression.

[Deni]

Love this, it just looks like she's packed up and gone from the hoarding, well spotted. Fav.

[☠northy]

@janim so glad you appreciated my efforts with the background... i had to hang out for several minutes for one that wasn't too intrusive AND where she was actually facing more or less towards me ;p

[Kate Klinck]

LOVE this one!

[Nicole]

beautiful shot! love the motion of the truck and the contrast between the woman standing and the woman in the poster!

[Janelle]

Great shot. A true contrast. She (the real lady) looks very down in the mouth.

[Katia]

perfection my dear! :)

[Michael Elliott]

great compositoin and image

[Betsie's Pinto Pony]

BRAVA Sister North!! Favorite of mine. La-la-LOVE it!

[Bernadette]

Wonderful street shot.

[Adam]

Excellent B&W and isolation, on the less than enthused woman with the glamorous photo looking on.

[Corinne]

Nice B&W

[Dominique]

Fantastic photo - very striking.

[Juliette Packham]

Great street shot - nice composition

[Paul Myers]

Quite a contrast all right.

[Sue]

Fabulous ... she looks so sad.

[David]

I just love this kind of shot: the stark contrast between how the adverts portray us and the reality. What an impact this one has . Marvellous. Fav!

[jenny tucker]

nice one.....did you wait for just the "right" person to stand there, or did you get lucky..? to me, that is always part of the fun of it.....just waiting for the right one to walk into "my" scene...i always giggle to myself.

[☠northy]

@sticksandstones tx Jenny... often i do wait for someone to walk into a scene... but in this particular case, she was just there... :)
