Love how the different elements come together. The colours, the light and the non-interacting people and yet somehow connected at some abstract level. Good snap-shot freezing a moment in time.

What a nice street shot Johan. It is interesting to view, has pleasant colors and tells a bit of a story. On my monitor, it has a hint of a cool color cast but that doesn't bother me on this one. Worked out well for you - nice placement of the people (or characteration of a woman) in the frame. Regards.

The colors really work here. It's a good capture. The pedestrian's green and red match the wall well. But it would be tempting to try to improve the toning on the store window. The gold hue is a bit too strong.

Great catch Johan, I like the expression on his face, really made me laugh. This may seem a strange thing, but I wish he was was wearing scruffy clothes to add to the irony. This fellow does seem quite smartly dressed! I still like it though, you have a good 'eye' Thanks Rob

I like the warm rich colors inside the shop contrasting with the cool pinks and greys outside. The man's casual attire and attitude also contrast nicely with the high fashion mannequin. I agree about cloning out "74". Nice capture.

You have created a humorous concept Johan. The expression and posture of the gentelmen and the ad fit it perfectly. A good humor. The colors are attractive as well. I would clone the number on the upper left and think again if the part of the door on the (edited) left should stay. I like the photo. Thanks for sharing.

I like the way there are three different characters in the shot and also that they seem to be ignoring each other. I would have preferred it if you clicked the shutter when he was in the middle of the pink area and clear of the white pillar. I would also prefer it without the '74' in the top left corner because that takes my eye out of the shot.
