Woodstock Vintage Shop

A playful moment at the entrance of a popular and quirky vintage shop
that opens into a back lane, with a skeleton dressed in a white T-shirt
scrawled with the cheeky message, “BUSINESS OPEN AS USUAL!!!”
The young girl's gentle smile and curious gaze soften the edginess
of the skeleton, creating a delightful contrast between the
macabre prop and human presence...

I hope that is not a waiting customer. If so, it would appear to be very long wait times at this business. Love the humor in this eye catching capture and definitely a "must" photograph subject. Her expression is priceless and I like the play of vibrant colors bordering the stark "near" white areas. VVV

The skeleton is a new version—friendly rather than frightening. He is delighted to spot the young, pretty girl, after having stood all day, smiling tirelessly to welcome every customer. The young girl casts a furtive glance from the doorframe; it looks as though she is playing hide-and-seek with the skeleton. The skeleton was all smiles. "I know you're there. You're checking to see if I have a new cavity." They share a secret joke—one of those jokes that only two accomplices can share. If only they had known that this entire scene was being immortalized by a silent, skillful photographer.

Her mischievous smile is a wonderful contrast to the gritty scene. V

What a delightful find, Fong. The colors of the entrance and the contrasting white wall, the cheerfully smiling girl, and the image is complete—beautiful. BIG V

The presence of the young girl with a gentle smile and a curious look is once again your great trademark Fong. For me, the interaction works in both directions on this remarkable image as the face of the skeleton seems hilarious too.. Excellent ! V.
