****This is a remarkable environmental portrait. It is very expressive because of how the subject relates to her context. There is a strong scale, gender, and attitude incongruity, not to mention the incongruity of a flesh and blood subject posing with a huge poster as context. Both exude confidence, and you have her leaning into the poster while he nods his head toward her. It is as if they are a couple -- they seem very compatible. Of course any additional context you can give us will add meaning as well -- for example, who is the man? And who is the woman? As of now, this picture asks a lot of questions, and leaves the answers to the viewer.
