Nice work!

Redsun · 25th February 2008

pretty nice concept
like it!

nice exposure and setting. But Geisha would be a better title?

Hot? Lusty? Geylang Lorong 18? Really? Where....

A gentle pose and mesmerizing stockings, but a better, interesting background and supporting prop(s) would serve your point better. This is simply a woman (fair guess) in stockings. A fairly forgettable picture mainly due to a lack of motive/story.

Nice but it doesnt show any hint that this is geylang.
Just curious, why the empty space on the right? Why not a verticle frame?

Sometimes, deliberate off-set of subject/space like in this picture can be beneficial esp for adding a headline etc...

With a layout like that, it could be a front top half_-page of LIFE! headlined:

China Invasion at Geylang

What are the odds of survival?

But I agree, replacing the BG with a road-textured one would have added a lot of realism to the shot.

Love the photo - very nicely composed and great lighting. Thanks for sharing.

very graphic, i like

frankly, titling is up to the artist

i'm sure if van gogh had titled his sunflowers BIG YELLOW SUNRISES

no one would be complaining, all of them would be calling it BIG YELLOW SUNRISES, if you catch my drift

Nice and clean..

It could be just me and my twisted mind, first thing I thought of..Ladyboys

thanks guys for both the feedback and compliments. this shot came about during a studio shoot in geylang last week. it was getting pretty boring, with everybody taking the usual facial shots and I didnt want to do more of the same

but the vibrant color mix continued to fascinate me. i tried to capture the vibrance without having to show a face and yet get some strong message across ..... thus this shot.

do take note of the seam of the "dress"
and the lighting on the dress as well

some copy on the right side would do the trick

Love the pic. Very neat and the colours are sharp.

The photo got my attention although a matching background would be better.

How about an outing to Geylang?
