Alyssa was standing there - as i walked by I could not resist this serendipitous color match - I did happen to have my camera with me so I just asked - she didn't mind at all, and resumed listening to her iPod while posing. Barely had time for a few shots before the train pulled in. In restrospect I like how the tattoos add a focus of interest - it all happened so fast, had I thought about it I would have tried to get a close up of these. The passers by were quite amused, some were shocked - too bad I couldn't document them too. View On Black

Alyssa etait la. En la passant je n'ai pas pu resister cette harmonie
accidentelle des couleurs - et comme j'avais mon appareil, je lui ai
simplement demande si je pouvais prendre cette photo - c'etait tout a
fait OK, elle m'a assure, et elle s'est remise a ecouter son iPod tout
en posant.

Ah, I've found this shot again. Wonderful work here Andre so much to like but of course the red and whites capture the eyes but it's so nicely composed and framed... and unusual. Great job!

Nice colours, good catch.
I think I'd prefer a square crop without the green metallic post. Chance she's couple inches from that, enough to crop it out I guess.
Otherwise, very nice !

Thanks all for stopping by - had forgotten about this image till recently -
@framemaker - re" You seem to have a penchant for shooting from the rear. ..and serendipity."
yes - as i_see_everyday noticed too .. can't tell where this comes from - for a psy explanation .. who knows indeed.. for a logical explanation.. the esthetics maybe - when walking I tend to look at people's faces if coming straight at me and at anything "noteworthy" if walking ahead of me..

8,000 have looked at this shot? Why?
NYCandre 25 months ago | reply
@NRG - thanks! the sad part is I didn't have time to give her my card at the time as the train pulled in just moments later, and she wasn't going to skip it.
@Eugene - yeah ..I wonder why - tho it's been around for a couple years already - this is my 5th most viewed photo - the other leggy ones only rate less than half as many views, and the more voyeuristic ones even less.
First with 31,500 views is that one
@I _see_everyday I may well start a series indeed - putting together those leggy ones in my current flickr stream: www.flickr.com/photos/nycandre/sets/72157626690509084/
