Comment by SaraR:
I like this. I think I would like it even more if the ghostly figure was against the plain brick wall, but his placement in the composition is necessary, so wouldn't have worked, and I suspect that removing the sign from the wall might have been a step too far.

Comment by gimp:
this is great but i would have liked more motion from the 'shopper'. him being less transparent and more blurry would have been morei nteresting for me.

Originally posted by Mephisto: I don't know any swedish but since german is a rather close language, I do get the first word because it's literally the same in german. "misshandeln" in general means maltreat or abuse, but it is often used in the sense of "sexual or physical abuse", which is probably the reason why whatever translater you used, it translated "beating" into "physical abuse" aka misshandeln. Beating in the sense of "heartbeat" is most likely a completely different term so you might want to think about changing that term in order to avoid wrong interpretations from people who actually speak or understand swedish...not that there are many here but you know...;-) Nice portrait btw!

presto change-o (well actually sc did it)

Great dof and sense of humor (do those two things go together?) for an untitled photograph.
