One of those rare and fleeting opportunities for a genuinely clever street photograph, and you grabbed it. It certainly doesn't look like a set-up shot, and assuming that it was not - well done! The juxtaposition of the girl's jeans-clad derriere with those on the poster, and the fact that she has clearly paused to reflect for a moment on the sado-masochistic DIESEL image, lifts your photograph way above the crowd here. Her cross-legged, perhaps even protective stance hints at a certain revulsion-fascination for the subject, but maybe that's just my lurid imagination. I suppose it might be argued that there's nothing necessarily "city life" about the essence of this scene, but I'd reject that by saying that this encounter between this girl and this poster could happen only in a city. Plus there's pigeons; a sure sign of a city location. Congratulations on producing a thoughtful photograph that actually has something intelligent to say about city life.
Just one complaint: that's an awful title for such a cerebral image.
haha i like how their model looks kinda like ur model.... the pigeons are a nice touch. the picture seems very noisy though and not extremely visually appealing
