Thanks John! You've gotta smile - she even looks as though she has been "decorated" by one of the artists who painted the bears!

This is great AJ. I think it would be perfect if her hand wasn't on her back nor did she have the bag around her torso but nonetheless a very creative/colorful shot.
Best,
Julie.

Many thanks for your comment, Julie. Yes, of course you are right about the hand and bag on her back, but as she did not know she was posing for me I had to take whatever she offered! And actually, the hand covers up the worst of the bag strap. I did shoot quite a few and picked out those where she most resembled the pose of the bears - I have another where she has her arm raised above her head, just like them. I will probably upload it here eventually...

A special photo for me...
Very effective the composition and the crop, but the winning effect is caused from the curves and from the colors in perfect and harmonious contrast.
Congratulations AJ!!

Bottoms up or down, we all look about the same after all, after some years;)) I am wondering how I would look between all those bears! Thats really great about it you took her by surprise, just in case she could have slapped you cathing her like this..lolll Maybe we should have some like thes Buddy's here too promoting tolerance, would be great!
Sleep well, Jenxx

Many thanks, Jen. It did occur to me - wouldn't it be funny if she was a UFer and spotted this shot?! And you never know, the Buddy Bears may be coming to your town next...

The coloring/lighting are both just about perfect AJ, and as there is more than enough detail and pattern it also works in the sense of adding change and multitude in the repeating pattern of S-like curves. I don't know if the girl is OK there, as it does break that sequence of curves a little bit. It could be the "pleasant exception from the rule", but this way it is a bit of vague exception to me. Still a good one somewhere between abstract and documentary.
Cheers!
Nick
