Photographer's Note
Last night in Mong Kok, Kowloon, Hong Kong...
Nathan Road is a special street, it like the core of Kowloon, its goes through the whole city, it is incredibly busy and noisy. The guy on the poster surely enjoys the lively environment around. An ambitous guy naked on Nathan Road...? not very real, even in Hong Kong.
Original shot, ISO200, auto adjustments in PS.

A lots of photograpic scene on Hongkong corner. Like this one, playing with poster and tight-carzy street, ... its original Hongkong-shot hehehe :-)

After the massive display of female nakedness in commercials and magazines, it surely tends to become a trend to use naked men instead. Almost a parody with various paradoxes as a motive. For instance, men's clumsiness vs. women's elegance, the boyish and fragile exposure vs. the sensual and mature appearance... I very much like the way you captured such ethical matter in this picture. An excellent documentary shot, very time specific since in perhaps a few years a complete other trend might lead the commercial world...

Very colorful and well presented shot. Writings on the bus are echoing the ones on the poster. You performed showing a lively street shot, with noboby alive around, except sitting in the bus. Very well seen, Maciej.

The composition and colours work very well. The image of the poster is rather interesting. There appears to be a second head hanging beneath the magazine with which he shelters his 'shame' as one would say in the biblical sense. Advertisements around Hong Kong are filled with a curious sense of humour. Well captured, happy and colourful, and yes, quite timely.

Excellent composition of the naked poster and the colorful bus. Well seen.
Nathan street, just around the corner, is the center of electronics gadgets and photography equipment. I bought one of my cameras there. a great fun even just to look and touch.

This is a very interesting shot - something humorously factual and something that we should be more of. This sends a lot of message - being carefree, cool and energetic. I look at the poster as the main subject of this picture and you balanced it out with the equally lively color of the bus. Great shot!

That's a well seen and amusing street shot, always a pleasure for a photographer to wander in big cities and photo the interaction of people with their environment, ads make it even easier and more enjoyable...
So that's a nice shot but there's the lower right part that I find distracting : I cannot say whether it is coming from your compo (in this case it def.needs a crop) or simply the light contrast (should be addressed with Pshop...).
Good but IMO not up to some of your other shots which I enjoy a lot.
Anyways, i'm going to HKG next week for a few days and your pictures -as well as some others- give me ideas about what i could shoot there : Keep uploading HKG shots!

Hi !
Exactly the kind of things I saw in Kowloon these last days ...
Very succesful shot with bright colours and excellent composition !
And the title is excellent too : a naked ambition ... you're right, it is not very realistic, in Hong Kong and elsewhere.
Congrats
Sylvie
