I return to this intermittently. As a composition, I am satisfied with it. As a photograph, it is dreadful. The exposure was never good, and the shadows and highlights are having a fight. I have deployed all the post processing tricks I know to get it to this, and still I am frustrated. It was only ever a JPG; maybe I could have done better had it been captured in RAW.

Lens: Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 AF-D.

Thank you. It irritates me because there is a decent picture trying to get out, and I regret the failure.

It works for me, too. And I like the comparison of the real woman with the dreamland one. The real woman seems much more interesting.

Thank you. I am comforted by your observation. Emphatically I agree with you concerning the juxtaposition of the glamourous advertising in the street which is eclipsed by the woman smiling beyond.
