Hello Wolfgang,
A very nice capture, you had a brilliant idea.
I like the vblack and white choice, which make the scene more urban-life.

Hello Wolfgang,
Makes an interesting composition well suited to the black and white treatment. The man walking slightly hunched up and deep in thought, completely oblivious to the chicly dressed model posing provocatively on the hoarding. Very well seen and presented.

I like this series...
The heigt of the man shows how big and screaming the ad is.
Perfectly chosen BW version. I also like the meeting of the generations here:)

Hello Wlfgang,
A good observation and a clever composition. Interesting contrasts of generations and attitudes. The choice of black and white gives the picture a more documentary feeling.

Hi Wolfgang,
I see a very good line here, from the man and up along the hair of the model. This line unifies the two of them into one picture! This is very well seen and performed here by you!
Kind regards

Hi Wolfgang!
What a moment you captured here:)! The old man and the model make a really great composition. Seems he's really lost in his thoughts. Great in b&w!

Hello Wolfgang,
An amusing and striking urban graphic. Is the man deliberately avoiding the poster? Excellent use of black and white. Super work.
Best regards,

Guten morgen, Wolfgang,
Launiges und betrübter Lichtbild gleichzeitig. Als man sagt, falls Jugend wußte, und Alter konnte.
Ausgezeichnete schwarzweiß Komposition. Du bist Anrechte, die Farben sind nicht kardinaler da.
Viele Greusse!
Mit besseren Wünschen,
Serghei

Hallo Wolfgang,
perfektes Timing für dieses klasse schwarz-weiss Foto. Die überdimensionale Grösse und die jugendliche Schönheit auf dem Plakat im Hintergrund lässt den älteren Herren rechts im Vordergrund klein und unbedeutend wirken. Auch seine Kopfhaltung könnte man dahingehend interpretieren, aber wie du schon in der Überschrift andeutest ist hier sehr vieles Illusion. Ein klasse Foto vom täglichen Leben und der Begegnung zwischen Schein und Realität. Gefällt mir sehr gut.
Viele Grüsse aus dem Donautal,
Helmut

Wolfgang,
Your instinct to put through a strong story line in your frame amazes me....
Your subjects are always in some way telling your story in strong way with their body language.

Hi Wolfgang
You get a nice advertissement, focussed and waited for a person. He is going in the right direction, and by its look, contrasts really with the woman.
Good job mate
