    Bored with Erotica (mildly adult)

    Hi all

    A scene from a London museum .. the staff member seemed so bored, which struck me as amusing in view of the displays in that particular room.

    Cheers
    Mike

    The entire shot looks very surreal. The composition and lighting are bang on. Although it looks a bit flat, I think it works this way also. Perspective lines draw me nicely in the photo montage. The guy's red pants keep him relevant. I guess my only critique would be those two dirt spots on the sensor over and to the left of his head. other than that, a very strong surreal image.

    LeeIs .. I somehow missed the sensor spots! Lord knows why - I am usually pretty observant on things like that. I've cleaned them up on the original. Thanks. Mike

    I think it works. The only thing I think that might improve it a bit is to shoot from a lower angle.

    I love it! What a statement.

    As much as I hate to throw the "have you tried black and white" line at ya, I really do think this would look great as a monochromatic shot. It reminds me of something Tuna would shoot, which I guess is why black and white came to mind.

    I was going to mention the sensor dust/dirt, but Liban beat me to it.
