My theme it's OPPOSITE/CONTRAST (in general) so this is similar
Great shot!

Excellent! I think it's right on target with your intended themes; you've got the bikes contrasting with the cars, and the Asian delivery guy opposite the Loreal model. I really like it ^^

nice concept, great shot lars cheers up 4 u

PS: Love the color/tones!

great idea!!

not sure what occidentalism is.............hangon.....(looks in dictionary)

Oh yeah...should have known that as a bit of an anti-capitalist (gasp)

YOUR IMAGE:
Wow.........love the tones and monochrome and the main foreground subject

BUT not sure about very centralised composition, the trike, the advert, and the curved facade all compete for the same vetical line. So for me that is a little to literal.

but on reflection maybe that could be resolved by a much narrower d.o.f. with the foreground or background only in sharp focus. (preferably the foreground in focus cos that's your main subject). That could all be done in photoshop anyhow.
So on the whole I like the image, it has a powerful and easily accessible message and could actually be used for either argument, pro or anti occidentalization.

Thanks for asking.

Loving how well you achieved the contrast, and it's just a beautiful bit of work in general!
