Hello Marija

You`re so right.I don`t like Monday`s :-D.
A white BMW,a tired lady going home from work and the glamourous girl...a nice combination.I like her...I mean the glamourous girl :-D.
A fine daily life scene in black&white,very attractive.Glad you didn`t frame it straight(tiltness is working great here).I think you could cover few things with clone tool,but I can`t be sure that will work better.Anyway,a very nice photograph.

My kind regards

Great work! There is really a story in the shot and I agree with BitterMoon concerning the quality of the composition.

"Of feti schisms" was a quality example no doubt, but I confess this is a much more creative attempt to improve the terribly cliche theme of 'women & cars' :)

hello Marija,
very powerful photo, I like a lot that you used B&W here, it certainly focuses attention on the contrasts between the two of them. I also like how there's almost no detail in the silhouette of the person in the foreground, while the girl in the poster is perfectly lit, I find it emphasises the contrasts even more and fits perfectly with your note - seems that the person in the foregound actually wants to disappear in the shadows, while the girl is demanding attention. technically impeccable photo, excellent work!

with kind regards,
Kristine

Bonjour, Marija.
C'est pas mal saisi au vol, j'aime bien cette ambiance un peu cinématographique malgré le tilt.
Beau noir et blanc, beaux effets de la lumière.
Amitiés, Grazyna.

zdravo marija

as someone already noticed - a cinematographic capture... i love the juxtaposition of the glamour over the conerned man's silhouette. by the way, his silhouette for me seems so... serbian. i guess, i've watched too many yugoslavian movies in my day ;) on a differnt note, i guess, i would try to bring ot the highlights more: make them shine... :)

warm regards,
kristaps

Bonsoir,
Belle photo de ces deux personnes qui se croise, une qui part a gauche, l' autre qui donne l'impression qu' elle va sortir de l' affiche et prendre vie.
Beau NB plaisant a regarder.

Amitiés Thomas

Hello Marija, great b&w work, i like the contrast between the man figure and the glamorous model in the picture. Beautiful light and shadows. Very well seen and executed. Thanks for sharing.
Best regards,
Kostas.

Don't get me wrong, but I would capture only the girl here. hehe :)
Interesting B/W shot, the sweet vignetting really helps the atmosphere

Hi Marija!

Great title for this excellent and meaningful photo! Great subject, great framing and composition, perfect choice of b&w and a "dark" light managment that enhances the atmosphere. Congratulations!

H(ercules)asta la victoria siempre!

I like the way both act the same way. Both heads are looking down, both noses are "bleeding" with a strong attitude. I also like how the woman in the ad is the one in the light. The way you silhouetted the passing woman was a very clever move. Finally, I do like that white car. Not only it matches the color in the ad background but it also gives a mundane/daily life feel to the scene. Cinematographic? Yes! Very good.
