Another one I'm not sure about. This person was so engrossed in her phone call she didn't notice me. I kind of like the angles of the railings and floor going against each other. Or is it too busy? Taken with an 85/1.9 which compresses the scene a little and adds to the effect.

Hello Gerry,

First of all, I would rotate the picture to get the column straight. I also think that the image would take advantage of a shallower dof. That being said, I like the grain and the light. It is an interesting grab.

Her casual pose is reminiscent of Odalisque paintings of yore:

There is another that is even closer, but it's been awhile since art history and I've forgotten the painter.

I think it's kind of funny that your subject's pose reminds Megan of master painters, while I right away noticed her foot up on public furniture and thought how rude it was!

OK, about the angles. This is completely personal, but being an orderly, everything in it's place type person, it bugs me that the shot seems tilted, nothing seems on the level. So if tension is good, your shot is a success.

I noticed that too - thought she was oh-so-comfortable at the mall. It's like a modern version of the Odalisque I guess! They were always painted as full-figured lusty women of leisure/pleasure, and she's kind of a modern public version, if only in my own little weird brain.

One of these, Megan? Renoir?

I think the pose evokes Adam on the Sistine ceiling.
