seeing red

the girl's been standing there waiting... knitted brows, clenched fists, pursed lips... her stance said 'patience wearing thin'. she held a phone to her ear once, muttered 'well, i'm here!' then put it away.

i liked the artwork inside the shop behind her. i thought the red would be good for the artistic segment of the 52-week challenge this week which is red. so i think we can say that the lady must be seeing red from waiting. well, she needed only to turn around and she would see it. red.

thank you for your kind visits and comments; know that they are greatly appreciated.

update on the apartment situation: i have found a new apartment for march 1st. i will be signing the lease next weekend before i leave for my visit to manila. all my stuff are in storage now, including those stuff i've been hoarding with the aim of bringing them with me to manila. so now i will be travelling light going to san francisco then to manila. it won't be the case when i come back.

She positioned herself perfectly! Great candid capture. Glad you have found an apartment. At least that worry is now sorted.

She looks cold and fed up! Someone's going to be in trouble when they arrive. Good capture.

[Loopy-Lou]

Great candid and sounds like me... People who know me are always on time :-)

[Rita]

Great spot and shot Vikki, bet there was some ear bashing after this!

[alia_801]

Nicely captured and described. I love the red artwork too. Good news about finding a flat too!

[Francoise]

wish I could say I had never worked myself up into that state. Oy. terrific for the theme(s)

[Jann]

I like your composition choice. Normally having the subject so close to the edge that their sight is facing would be frustrating but in this case it is perfect.

Great scene!

[Leslie]

love the red window artwork and your model .lol
so glad you found another place before you leave and things seem to be looking up. wonderfully composed

[katy]

You chose a terrific composition to highlight the art AND the girl!

Good to know you have a place to return to so it doesn't mar your visit!

[Bill Fenske]

I like the composition here, babe; and as usual, the narrative too.
Hey, we spent some time together on the PP!

[Ron]

Masterful street shot Vikki! I'm guessing she was at the wrong meeting point.

[alta]

ohh perfection.

[Helge Erik Storheim]

She does look slightly miffed ;-) Nicely seen and great shot

[Susan Berman]

There is a color story, and a graphic story in this shot and they work together beautifully. The red moves into orange, and goes back into the scene. The black/white graphic parts (window frame, bag, name of the store in a box) counter the color, and the shape of the red art brings it all together. Really well done.

[Chris Johnson]

The artistic red lines work so well with the composistion! Really neat shot!

[Vera]

This is so striking and is a great shot for the red theme.

Nicely spotted - excellentstreet shot! Where's the new apartment?

[Sylvia du Toit]

Nice and red.

[summerfield]

@northy - sheppard and don mills - a different spot of the city and a huge change for me, but will make for an excellent discipline in waking up early and commuting. thanks, kiddo. lots of big parks around so lots of photo opps and not to mention panning practice on the 401!

[☠northy]

And not too far (as these things go) from downs view park,,, a place worth exploring!
