Already a few years back, but an interesting image, I think

Really super, but the illusion is spoilt by the puppeteer using a coat-hanger.
-
Nice one, well seen... :-) (coat hanger or not) !
-
Better box without the saw. Keep the Jennifer (=virgin)!
-
So cool how the 'puppet' is looking at you directly. Nice capture!
-
The puppets eye contact is mesmerising ....well done!
Personal taste but the image screams Black and White to me.

I like this. The image tells a good story. But, (the big but), I see some technical 'nits', the image isn't square, per the doorposts, which is a bit distracting. And ... I like to see a tighter crop, the air above the puppetplayers head adds nothing to the image and I think matching the right side of the trunk to the photo's edge - with a measurement similar to the left side of trunk to the edge would make a slightly better photograph. But I do like the image, the timing on the 'puppet' is very good.

I have the same issues as Gary...

Yep, also that ;)
-
Hilarious!

Wonderful moment !
I'm curious , the puppet is a real woman ? eyes seem to real to be just a puppet, but the position seems a bit impossible to hold for a real person

I think she is not a puppet.

Hello Anthony,
Yes I was relating to the artists persona, she was very alluring.

Is it OK to drink too much wine when your credit is all right?
-
I think she is a woman actor. As expressed in my first post concerning the box and the saw.
-
Thank you All for your comments and reactions ;)
Gary, Erik, Frank. ( I agree. I just took the orignal and only deleted an unwanted blurred head on the left side of the image) - Reframed version.

Thanks Bez, initially I hadn't taught about that, as I adore red ;) But during framing and cropping the image, Black and White seemed more evident indeed.
B & W version

Wine makes my bad credit right ... wine makes everything right .. lol

The new framing really makes you zero in on the puppet.
-
I like the BW. All in there.
-
Now it works!
-
Love the cropped color version. To me, the red/pink gloves, hat and hair are essential accent of the image.
-
I like it, great shot.
I agree regarding the cropping, and if there is a RAW file, pulling highlights would greatly improve it as well. The white puppet looks slightly overexposed.
But the shot is great, usually photographs of street performers tend to be dull, but the eye contact here changes everything. Colours are good, the man is charismatic, and even the hanger adds some fun to it.
-
Black and white for me!
But I would ease up on the contrast or blackness or something...
The man's face is nicely seen in the color version, but in the BW it disappears.
Blown highlights of her dress are OK to my eye, but now her face is blown I think.
-
I like the tonality of the man's face in the B+W. It makes him seem like an evil creature manipulating an innocent young woman. Scary.
-
the last B&W is really great!
