Where where you Kal??? Is this triple X stuff about to unfold??
Just kidding. But such neon pink glow works were not the kind we are used to relate to Kal Khogali :) And you know what?? I think this is a really good one.

The girl with the cup (tea, coffee, soup, a nosh during a break?) shows that life goes on, much like ordinary people's, and despite the manufactured come-hither look of the others, this is nothing more than business as usual. And that, I think, is the sad message of this eerily ironic, seductive picture.

Groovy street feel. Well done.

Probably your most successful photograph of the "Shanghai Working Girls" to date. The metaphorical closed yet also but open door, the studied come-hither pose, the gaudy pinkish coloration, and the layering of four hostesses moving as a zig and a zag through the image, add up to an incisive and memorable portrait.

My comment was for Duncan, I did not see his comment was private! Sorry for the misunderstanding Guilliom. K

Natisunber,
Please excuse my poor French: Il me me référait. J'ai posté un commentaire et Kal privés lui ont répondu. J'ai pensé du pouce qu'ils étaient des danseurs exotiques.

It wan't the meaning of my comment, Kal!:)) I agree I probably choose the wrong word... in french fantaisie mean too : wonderful, fantastic and it was what I feel in front of this scene... Notice that if you read my comment like that it could come from your choice which is not innocent with this ambiguous situation (and title) you show (from my side I just saw the person and didn't bother me with the fonction!:)...

This is a Shanghai "hairdresser's" shop....that is not what they are selling....K

The main character's expression, the position of her body, give me a feeling of fantasy, accentuated by the pink&purple light... and the others are very well composed. A great capture.

Love the neon glow and expressions. Great atmosphere.
