Very strong and very well seen , Maciej
Its all most a anti man image “Crushed by women”
Amazing picture quality and well positioned of the man
I like it

Great shot, nothing to add to Ishai's critique. Except that I thought "eeeek, a man" instead of "crushing".

Image forte de notre société de consommation.
Cela me plaît beaucoup.
L'homme semble bien petit face à la feminité.
Merci pour le partage
Amitiés

Jest OK, nie za bardzo wprost, są przynajmniej dwa znaczenia, o ile nie trzy. Czystość formy w kształcie i kolorze ;-) Delikatna równowaga w kompozycji bez tej przesady i nachalnego hołdowania najprostszym zasadom, które się tutaj spotyka ;-)

Man in front of a big poster is a bit of a classic but this one has a nice twist with the possible crushing of the poor man under the giant womans heel. Everything works excellent together here, hardly any room for my usual "good advises".

Davids (1034) 2005-10-10 15:57

this man better starts running . . ..
Maciej, what a great photo.
The lack of interest on the man's face, but for us the story is different.
Beautiful red, great theme and indeed a decisive moment.

Bonsoir Maciej,
Excellente cette vue !!!!! J'adore le contraste entre ces superbes jambes et cet homme a l'air un peu stressé!
Il fallait avoir le reflexe de shooter a cet instant, tout simplment Bravo !!!
Amicalement Thierry

Just when I thought I had seen one too many shots of people walking past advertising boards! :)

designsoul (21394) 2005-10-10 16:26

Stunning!
I love this shot, marvellous how you cropped his feet and included the sexy women's ;-)
Absolutely first rate, filled with humour, you are dealing us a delicious punch--quickly travels to my Favourites...
Made my day!

Fantastic one.
reminds me of Henry Ho's.
Beware, you 're gonna turn into a professional advertisment photograph !

fiedziu (1762) 2005-10-10 17:00

yep, I told you when I saw it on your LCD it was the best of the serie. Nothing to say, very good, what can you ask more?

In fact it's really working because of the look of the guy who appears to be very sure of himself, a little bit on the arrogant side. It's almost a pleasure to imagine he's going to have a surprise coming from miss Liz Hurley (this is an ad for Lancel, starring Hugh Grant's fiancée)... Perhaps for people who have seen that quite pleasant comedy "bedazzled" ("endiablé") with Liz Hurley, it makes even more sense...

Porteplume (3255) 2005-10-10 17:15

Bonjour Maciej!

I was almost sure it was yours, your first Paris'pictures had the same "Joie de Vivre"...
I like the moment, it looks like the lady will smah him! :o)

And of course it seems technically perfect in my eyes, with especially a tremendous framing. A picture that can make everybody jaleous... ;o)))

eleparc (24059) 2005-10-10 18:05

fortunately she lifted her left foot... haha! nice shot!

toni_al (15430) 2005-10-10 18:22

Hi Maciej
Excellent monstre belle, elle deborde de graphisme.
Very nice shot, Well donne.
@+ Toni

joshack (455) 2005-10-10 21:33

Just wanted to add my two points. Fantastic perspective given in this shot! Too bad the man is not facing the legs though.

vapours (7913) 2005-10-10 21:47

Fantastic shot, the colours and boldness of this image are just perfect, you've done pretty well here.

pilpel-adom (3016) 2005-10-11 0:10

Maciej, great moment! Very comic compo with a very tight framing!
Chen

Cpamoi (10317) 2005-10-11 1:41

Superbe composition! réalisée au bon timing.
La jambe levée, le doigt, et les jambes coupée de l'homme vraiment excellent!

Very well done!

Raphaël

tjanze (5674) 2005-10-11 3:18

WOOOW!
Fantastic shot.Great point of view.This is art of photography.Bravo!

Luan (15935) 2005-10-11 4:09

Hello Maciej,
the legs you have cutted, we find them on the top, a man with woman legs haha, very well seen and excellent juxtaposition.
Regards
Luan

recepyuksel (17786) 2005-10-11 4:24

faubry (32197) 2005-10-11 5:28

AmiBe (6042) 2005-10-11 7:21

excellent shot Maciej...
The man seems not interested by theses beautiful legs.
Good crop, well comopsed.
I like it !

rowanb (864) 2005-10-11 7:54

hi maciek
well seen, timed this one to perfection, is the man about to be crushed under the woman's giant heel?
nice graphic compo, well done =)

jcandeli (40) 2005-10-11 9:38

Look out!!! That guy is about to get stomped! :) Very cool. I always love bilbaord photos with people in them. Limitless possibilities with them. Nice job. JP

Furachan (0) 2005-10-11 10:47

Brilliant impression of weightlessness, the mdel's legs more real than the man, or is it the other way around. Gulliver women and one sole liliput in asuit with a reen briefcase. War of the sexes, one can read so much into this extremely wity and well-judged pic.
Bravo!
Francis

Great capture! Right moment. Cool, Nino

dolin (15647) 2005-10-11 15:46

Hi Maciej.
That's fantastic !
Excellent eye for this capture (for other too;) )
I like this man in mouvment and the red tones on the girls.
Really good framing.
Very original and excellent idea.

This is one of your best shots Maciek, you had a great eye on this..Composition is just a masterpiece..
very creative, great work..
Best wishes.

dsidwell (9745) 2005-10-12 18:15

This is very delightful, Maciej! I love how the man is walking amidst the landscape of urban signage--and he doesn't even know he is interacting with it! Very fun.

partha (13655) 2005-10-17 14:28

U captured in right moment.Congrates for your God gifted eye.

Bonjour,

J'adore, Vraiment ce style me plait beaucoup. Très bon cadrage et un très bon ton. On pourrait presque croire que le messieur va se faire écrasser.... :-)

Merci

Meloe (99) 2005-11-13 11:12

Great...it like an Almodovar's film scene! Very surealistic!

pawelen (92) 2005-12-04 10:49

Pas mal!
Ce qui veut dire très bien!
Ca c'est de l'instantanée taillée sur mesure!
Vraiment du bon travail, comme d'habitude.
Christian

dsolarov (422) 2006-03-13 8:54

Amazing photo Maciej!!! You positioned the man on the photo so well, and it looks like any minute he will be crushed by the high heel. I like the dominance of red an black in the photo.
