Response to Churrita

from John Kantor (jkantor@mindspring.com)
Actually, given this composition, the sign is the most important element! (Try taking it out in Photoshop and see what you have left.) Here you have a frame within a frame consisting of the girl, the pedestal and the sign. The subject of this photo is actually her view of the street (or as Wayne points out, her consciousness of the street) including the faceless blur of people that pass by without stopping.

The problem with the bra strap isn't that it's mundane - the whole shot is mundane - that's the point. But the buckle does stop your eye and should be fixed in Photoshop. Similarly, I'd tone down the hue of the red sign on the upper right to keep it from attracting the eye unduly out of the rest of the composition.

And, rather obviously, the title of this should be Qui-Moda.
