Shiny Stockings, a photo from Alessandria, Piedmont

Photographer's Note

The photo was taken from the inside a boutique, where we were shopping for gifts to our daughters.

The lady was standing outside, probably making a decision about some new stockings.

This is in Acqui Terme, a very pleasant town in Piedmont.

Hello Gunnar,
Une photo originale, on d閖� vu pas mal de photo de vitrine vu de l'ext閞ieur, mais ici c'est l'inverse et c'est fort bien r閡ssi.
Il y a un brin d'humour et c'est bien venu.

Hi Gunnar,
Good idea and well done. Original. I like the street life present as background, the mannequins without head and their youthful posture contrasting with the woman of a certain age, the colors. The only little glitch is perhaps the reflection in the window. Anyway, I don't think you could use a polarizing filter with this camera. Could you? Have a nice day, Claude.

Hello Gunnar,
An interesting and amusing daily life composition very much in the style of Wolfgang Schanze (wolf38). I like it a lot. Very well observed, technical presentation is excellent.

Hallo Gunnar!
An intriguing and eye-catching picture from an unusual point of view! In German I would call it a "Hingucker" ;-) I like how you placed the main character between the two headless ladies here.
Have a nice weekend!
Greetings from rather cool and wet Germany!

Hej Gunnar,
A fine observation. I could just imagine the thoughts going through that woman's mind. And a fine piece of red in the foreground too.
