Red Army

Critiques and comments most welcome. Thank you

A classic street portrait! Very fine work. Regards...

Good street capture, I like the large poster on the right. It's almost as though she is making eyes at the young soldier.

Just to be accurate...

Admiring this shot I would like to note that the young man pictured is probably a naval cadet of modern time Russian Navy. The Red Army, on another hand is a historical name for a some military formations which exist in period of time about years 1917 - 1927 in Russia. Regards. Ilia.

Joe and Sondra I am always happy to hear from you. Thank you for following what I do.

 

Ilia and Robert, thank you for your sharp and thoughtful remarks. The idea behind the title was playing with words around the combined images of the navy cadet and the poster.

 

 

Just perfect! I love this image - very creatively done!

Excellent street shot! I like the color and even the soft focus on the soldier.

Great street shot! The girl in the add is just looking at the boy!.I like the b/W tones. Regards

I echo all comments above João -- this is indeed a perfectly balanced street shot with a sepia tone that fits the mood just right and complements the scene beautifully!
