[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I have already posted a Picadilli shot to TE. This is one of the attempts I tried before the other one. I worked very hard on the angle, on adjustments, waited for the cloud to pass and give me some extra light, and when I clicked the camera, this double deck bus entered the frame. I tried more and more, but after loading this photo to my PC, I discovered this bikini girl in my composition, and I liked it very much.

A riot. It is a very interesting shot! Life is like this anyway. Great "snapshot" about daily life.

nice photo yitzhak,
I wonder me what you would to shot the woman or the goldenball =)

interesting shot with lots of details, especially your bikini girl! I like the reflection, makes me look hard to figure out what it is.

Hrrmmm - I think we hit the same target tonight Yitzhak, so human. And both in red too.

The best thing with your picture is the contrast between the fantasy girl on the poster and the tired look of the real one in the window. And for the brass thing, in this context one might wonder what those things are supposed to look like. There is a Freud in all of us, even city planners.

Now, what did you actually try to catch with your camera Yitzhak ;) The idea itself is origional. As an idea of getting the Picadilly in the shot, i think your first post was better. But, as a picture i think i like this version better. There are difrent things that caught my attention in this pic. Going from the most obvious, bikini girl, then down to...you (sorry i had to put you in second place ;))and finally the girl in the bus window. The girl and the comercial make a great contrast between real life and the not so real life (something tells me there was more pp on that girl then in your pic :))

Great job Yitzhak

Wow! This is a stunning composition with a very strong effect, Yitzhak! I like the way your reflection and the golden globe are at her feet...and the passing by bus is carring away another girl - thoughtful about the serious things life brings sometimes...Excellent composition! Just great!

Brilliant, Yitzhak. This is even better than your last Piccadilly shot. I really like the way the old red London bus is framed at an angle. Of course the bikini girl is good and you have also managed to include a simple advert for Daks of 'Old Bond Street'. You couldn't make a more 'London' shot even if you tried. Very well done.

personally, Yitzhak, I think the bus adds to the great composition of the photo, it's perfect. I read somewhere that the winning photo in a competition, is normally the shot that wasn't planned!
Yours is no exception, excellent work!

Very well spotted as usual - I would say theres several eye-catchers at this shot - wonder what the girl thinking at - have she spotted you ;-)

Great work Yitzhak - I like the colour combination very much.

I agree with zto, this is better than the te one, as its got more to look at, and has some nice contrasts in it. Great shot.

I agree with what some of the previous critics wrote - this one is better than the one on TE. Such a lot to look at - the reflections, the tilt, the girl on the poster vs. the one on the bus looking in your direction. Great shot, Yitzhak.

I love it Yitzhak. So many details to look at. I'll have to agree with Zandra on the most obvious (the bikini girl) :-), but all of the reflections, the girl on the bus, all wonderfully captured. Masterfully done, my congratulations to you.

very erotic
