While wandering the very nice, new, upscale mall this weekend, I came upon this woman. To be honest, I did a double take as at first I wasn't entirely sure it was a woman. As I walked by, I turned, and saw the ad imagery behind her and voila - had to take the shot. This is the one and only shot I dared to take. If you look closely, you'll notice she has curlers in her hair.

Curlers in the hair. That cannot be beat! Love how her shirt kind of blends in with the natural flora. Must be California camo :D (eta... haha i see this may not be californa lol)
Every once in a while, I dream about this image. Oh, how I wish it was mine. I'm gonna have to put it in my favorites, so I don't lose it.
Keep up the good work.
Dear me, you entered this! Unfortunately, I didn't get this far in my voting, or you'd have gotten very high marks, or very low marks, depending on whether I could see straight after viewing it.
;-)
PS to add the techicals are just super on this. Good advertisement for RAW
I didn't know this was yours! I thought it was a man, too....which is why aside from the garish fashion sense, it reminded me of my shot
What a great moment to catch.
too crowded in your composition if you want to just make an opposition between pretty and ugly, stick to simple.l alll the plants, too many chairs, objects in the background, its all clumping your photo taking the viewer away from what you wish to depict, which in turn, makes this photo uninteresting.
5 for meeting the challenge.
Not sure I'm getting the point here. Why the background print? Is the girl in the print pretty and the person (guy/girl?) at the table is ugly? Or, is it the hat/shirt combo you're refering to? Well, at least you're getting the viewers to stop and ponder it some. :D As for the image itself, I think a polarizer would have helped with the glare on the chair and table - overall the image feels slightly overexposed in the highlights.
