This was one of those impulsive shots that my lens was drawn to like a water-divining rod to moisture :) Passing Westpac on the Terrace the differences between the two with-drawers were evident. She slim, assured, confident that her request for money would not be refused (nice legs too) he in his baggy track-pants looking a little perplexed.. they say you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover, it's possible she was drawing out her last $5 and he was an under-dressed millionaire :) the bright red Westpac logo against the red and white background was the clincher, what do you think, would this scenario have caught your eye? Happy Tuesday, take care and stay safe..
He's wearing a hoodie--he could be Mark Zuckerberg. the Facebook tyrant!
ReplyDeleteI'm always drawn to color--the red was the first thing I noticed.
Nice shot!
ReplyDeleteprachtig gedaan,
ReplyDeleteAh, what a great shot, Grace!! And they furnished the perfect composition for you!! I love it!! Hope you have a wonderful new week! Take care and enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThat is a smashing shot!

Brilliant shot, Grace! Interesting things going on in your politics down there!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, this is my kind of shot. Serendipity. You did good! BTW, I forgot to mention that I was happy to hear that you guys got rid of the Aussie version of G. W. Bush, Tony Abbott. Again, I say, good job!
ReplyDeleteA fun street candid.
ReplyDeleteWhere's the money...?
ReplyDeletenice image, it has all the elements for a "click"
ReplyDeleteQuite a contrast between these two, Grace!
ReplyDeleteOf course I noticed the splash of red. :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat shot and how fun that you shared it with us so we can imagine our own story too!
ReplyDeleteLovely shot Grace, very well observed...
ReplyDeleteYes, this would also have attracted my lens. From your title I thought you would commenting on his legs until I read your comment. It is a strong image.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! Good eye with this one. I love the different stances and apparel of the two people. I also really like the symmetry. I doubt the woman is withdrawing her last $5…unless those are Jimmy Choo's on her feet. :) Hope all's well Down Under!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, this would have caught my eye for sure. I love that red wall. It's perfect for photos. Great street photography Grace.
ReplyDeleteA perfect street photograph!!
ReplyDeleteGreat shot! One for Ruby Tuesday?
ReplyDeleteWonderful strong graphics. And you may be right - maybe she's blown all her money on those clothes and accessories.
ReplyDeleteWondeful shot.
ReplyDeleteNobody knows anything about them... it's nice to think something, and maybe you are in right..:)
Great shot! The left part of this scene would have caught my eye first, but also the guy is in a funny pose...
ReplyDeleteGood eye and timing to catch this situation !
ReplyDeleteI like this! So simple and so nice style with the black/silver , white and red!
ReplyDeleteYour shot would translate into a fantastic painting. It's the chap that really makes me smile. You can read all sorts of things into that photograph. Well done!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely Grace .. It would have caught my eye. The symmetry in the colour palette is delightfully coincidental. She is wearing a dar top and light skirt and he is wearing a light top ant dark trakkies. She is a power dresser and he is a la casual. Nice one Grace.
ReplyDeleteGreat !
ReplyDeleteBest regards,
Pierre
I've never used one of these, so old school.
ReplyDeleteIt is a great photo, picture perfect, the synchronism, the red, the man and the woman!
ReplyDeleteYou know...I love this kind of picture, street scenery! You have clever eyes! I think that girl is so elegant!
ReplyDeleteLéia
I think this was very observant of you! It makes a super photo!
ReplyDeleteA perfect photo opportunity, I wouldn't have thought of it! But I would have been drawn to the red too!
ReplyDeleteGreat shot Grace!
ReplyDeletePerfect, Grace. My kind of photo. (My kind of girl, too, now that you mention it.)
ReplyDeleteI'll go with the 'legs'.
ReplyDeleteCute shot Grace and yes it definitely would have caught my eye too!
ReplyDeletegreat eye grace! we learned when we left san diego and moved to missouri that you absolutely cannot judge a book by it's cover...the farmer in his overalls was almost always worth more than the white collar man in his nice suit!
ReplyDeleteLove the symmetry and the way it looks like he is wearing a crown!

You presented a mundane everyday activity in a creative way!
ReplyDeleteThe red beautifully connects these two wonderful story-inspiring poses. Love it.
ReplyDeleteLove this ! Perfection combined with a great eye makes all the difference.
