Nice shot Stefano, had to look twice to work out which one was the real person. Great contrast in black and white.

Very artistic and with great thought to timing and presentation. Love the shadow and the B&W format that fits this perfectly. Excellent light management and great clarity. Wonderful job Stefano!!

Good realization Stefano. The most important here is the publicity which is sharp and more 'real' than the walker dark and blurred.
As well a good management in black and white to play with the shadows and the silhouettes.
At first look I was thinking about a more square frame, but finally it seems it is your final choice which fits the best.

Yves.

Hello Stefano
It looks as if they're about to collide! And the expression on the model's face suggests that he knows it! Good grab shot. I'm guessing you set up and waited for a passer-by to walk through the frame. B/W treatment is appropriate.
Regards
Will

Ciao Stefano,

splendido lavoro! A prima vista sembra più reale il ragazzo sul poster... ma l'ombra è in movimento e quindi più dinamica... ottima contrapposizione!

Buona giornata
Günther

Stefano!

A stunning and thought provoking shot, definitely a perfect caption for this one! The conversion to B&W format is genius as the drama overflows within this minimalist scene. I really loved this one! TFS!

best regards,
Matt
