Wonderful capture, I particularly like the distorted reflection of the man in the window, and the, er, interesting choice of subject behind the glass!

Nothing confuses a member of the masculine gender more than a naked female behind glass. The animal brain at work. Obviously she wants nothing to do with him. Well, of course, she's just a reflection of his own desire anyway. What's a typical Narcissus of the neighborhood to do to assuage his frustrations? Maybe take it out on some innocent creature. Maybe hunt down a bird. . . . Best, -Hugh

Hello Sasa,
I am amazed from the scene you captured here.A piece of art to a daily life scene.
Love the thin reflections of the thoughtful man...

wishes for the weekend,
Thomas

And the moment is right...And the place is right...
And the way you've edited your picture is right...
And that 'something ' right is there...

Anything was 'left' in there to mention ?

Sasa's perfection hurts...

Beautifully thought out and executed - moer complex than what one might think at first: it could have been simply the man, the mnnequin, you know but there is this reflection of the man so well captured that adds anotehr dimension to the whole.
Very nicely done, Sasa.
Best wishes,
Francis

Hi Sarolta,
Wonderful street photography.Placement of the person along with his shadow and the model at the right gives nice effect.
Regards.

Hi Sarolta,
Very nice compo, good pov. Specially in captures (like this) where the spectator has to create his own interpretation, it's allways good to use b&w. And that's what you have done here. Peferct job !
TFS and have a nice weekend
Best regards

Classic designsoul work, exquisite B&W tones - need I say more.

Darren (6817) 2007-10-13 7:49

This is another nice shot from you Sasa. You most certainly have a graphic artist's eye for photos (reminds me of Ollie from when TE was brand new) and your b&w conversions are always really good. My only slight nitpick is that I find it a little tight on the left, but I really like the guy, his reflection and the mannequin as elements. Nice one.

eleparc (24059) 2007-10-13 10:33

do you think he is wondering: would I wear this? i mean the adam's costume...;-) something lighter than your previous shots, with a nice twist of humor;-)

have a nice we

i cant believe that you even managed to catch a flying bird up there right where it should be... and it is amazing to see that the mannequin is not the only female body form as there is another one on the wall behind to balance the compo as together with the man and his reflection they all become a great "quartet"...

cheers master...

Hi Sasa,

A very recognizable moment for sure... I had it today when dragging along my tripod for 2 hours, then when I needed it, I forgot the locking plate for the camera. Left it on the battery pack that was at home. Yeah... A moment of reflection was needed at that point.

Greetings and have a good weekend!

A nice moment for sure, this rolled reflection is very clear, and this man seems to be embarassed by the naked model.
Nice one.

Great street moment, makes me wonder what on earth hes so confused about in front of a photographer and a naked mannequin. Top stuff.

Great work, again.

A classic humor on the street, Sasa...well seen/anticipated!

coco (27864) 2007-10-21 12:33

Hi Sasa.

The lens, the black and white and your own eye give us a wonderful picture.

Again, thanks for sharing.

alimo3 (6826) 2007-10-22 16:15

Hello Sasa,
i was already amazed by the composition of that "Reflection" attitude and the elegant feeling,
when i suddenly saw the bird :-o
i know that it is just a little bird but that was too much on the same picture for me ( i think i'll try pottery instead of photography )
You win > i go to sleep ;-)

Hi Sarolta,

This is an excellent double reflection. Not only the windowpane, but also in the mind of the man must be some reflection if I interpret his expression well. And I can imagine that he had his own thoughts after seeing this nude model in the windowpane.
Great moment you captured here for us.
