WOW - my first thought was 'How did he get Megan Gale to pose for him' ... and then I saw the whole picture - SO COOL!

PostLuminous Award Nominee!
The fact that the real woman is almost b/w herself (clothing, handbag) really adds to this terrific image

I'm very surprised to find this as low as it placed. Although it's not anything to be ashamed of, of course... 16th!

I really like this one!

These are always fun shots. A fashion ad being walked by, by someone who clearly has an interest in fashion is a nice touch.

I like this shot but I think it's mostly becuase of the great image in the background. Interesting juxtoposition of size.

She (being the real one) seems totally unphased by the Giant Shopping Woman. Nice choice of person to walk by, given that her clothing and bag suit the poster (ie B&W). Only the hint of color on her skin gives her away.

Im scoring this very high - great concept but the title is just waaaay too long and unnecessary. let the image tell the story. just "women shopping" would do it, or "women love bags". whatever. great concept. gl
