total knock out (just about safe for work)

saw the poster and the doors adjacent so wanted to get something with someone very different to the girl in the poster for some contrast. managed to get just that, but as I was sat on the bench waiting, the old lady above came and sat behind me so moved and managed to get this. friends and family find it very funny, but I was wondering what more experienced eyes would feel about it. I really like the contrast between age and youth, and two different extremes of dress. like the pose the lady is making too, almost as though she is running her fingers through her hair as a model would.

thanks for looking.

Great shot and great idea, it's worked perfectly! I would maybe add a little more contrast to the shot but apart from that it's great.

Thanks for the reply mate. Wasn't sure whether to post it in this forum or not but it is urban I guess. Glad you like it. Was thinking of tinkering with it but left it a bit more real in the end.

I like the relationship of the crutch and walking stick

Had to read that twice. . . Thanks for the reply and glad you like it.

might be improved if you were kneeling down so that they were more in line with each other, saying that you never know if you would of been a bit more conspicuous when you were setting up the shot and she may have moved away

thanks for the replies guys. I know what you mean about getting lower Dave, but didn't for the reasons you mention. would have probably blown the shot altogether.
glad you like the shot, john.

Extremely poor PP there - the left hand looks like something that doesn't belong to her......oh hang on a mo', we're talking about the model sat on the bench, not the pale skinned one with the red underwear?

The term "like a painter's radio" springs to mind, but not for the right reasons!
Maybe she was doing a spot of DIY earlier, with grey paint by the looks of it.
Any battleships nearby, half done?

:bonk:

Thanks for the reply.

Your edit is in the wrong thread. It should be in your triangles thread.

haha! oops. I really must stop this late night posting. BTW, how's the OMD. Switched to a G3 recently, and love the portability, but the OMD looks a step above...

Thanks
