 It seems nobody saw what I did in this image. I loved the fact that there is that gorgeous woman in the advert and the guy on the stairs only has eyes for the 'real' girl.

Great composition .. well seen and captured. I like the slightly grungy look to this as well, it really works for the scene.

Who's in Thailand?

Actually, I would have preferred to see this with more natural colour.

Well done on this slice of real life.

Lovely graphic image. The real people become part of the graphic advert. Quite an interesting way of seeing. I find yours to be an inspiring and well executed photo.

I was just in Thailand for three weeks! I guess I like this shot because it really does show the character of Thailand. The grit adds to it as well, but it seems that the color balance is a tad too bit... redish. Otherwise awsome, hope it does well.

The juxtaposition really makes this such an interesting photograph. The muted saturation also serves this photo very well. Good luck!
