About the Image(s)
This image was taken one evening when I was out taking photos in the local shopping mall. I was intrigued by this young lady's fashion sense. Maybe I am just getting old! Post Processing: Image lightened and cropped. Tech stuff: Canon 5D Mark IV, 1/200, f/4.0. ISO 800. Lens: Canon EF 24 - 105mm f/4L IS USM @ 102mm.

Unusual lady with a very unusual outfit on a mission in her own world. She has an indifferent look on her face and could not care what the world thinks of her. A good depiction of what one can capture when watching people passing by.   Posted: 10/14/2025 11:44:55

Cool young lady and image Martin. I believe she is conscious of the camera, and her expression may reflect that. Her fashion is a strong statement against social conventions. That she prefers to show her legs is also part of her statement, detaching herself from social norms. I would like to photograph her. Good work.   Posted: 10/18/2025 05:50:40
Martin, what stands out to me isn't just the fashion element-it's the curiosity about how she managed to put on those stockings! You've captured the subject beautifully, and the red-orange bag provides a vibrant splash of color that contrasts nicely within the composition. The lines of the flooring complement the image and effectively guide the viewer's eye up to the man texting in the top right corner. Additionally, the black sphere on the right helps retain the viewer's attention within the frame. Overall, it's a well-executed shot! My only recommendation would be to consider allowing a bit more space at the top of the image to ease the tension created by the proximity-unless, of course, that was your intended effect.   Posted: 10/19/2025 17:19:24
