nice

Well captured, a lady who likes to be noticed I think, it took me ages to find the graffiti that Greg mentioned!

One has to wonder what the song is...?

Great shot. With or without the lamp, it is great.

Doug,

Thanks for the comments.

Nice one, John. Good balance, nice conversion. It works. what more can one say?

Now that I look at it a second time, I wonder what it would have looked like if the subject were facing mirror image to the way she is; heading into, rather than out of the frame. That would have turned a good shot into an exceptional shot; but with street photography we have to live with what our subject do for us...

I love the woman and the PP of the overall image. My eye however keeps being drawn to the lamp shade as it doesn't seem straight?

[Mike Buckley]

The lamp isn't straight but the building is. The strong lines in the building are much more prominent, so I think the current framing is the way to go.

If the woman was walking into the frame rather than out of it, the image would be less spontaneous and, thus, less interesting to me. This is a great example of an image that works better because one of the standard guidelines (rules) is broken.

Absolutely sexy in a "girl-next-door" way. Come to think of it, I never had a girl like that next door to me!

I wouldn't mind seeing that lamp eliminated...
