Now this is a great composition. You had to have had the title in mind before you put this all together. When I Americanized the title as "Bonnie and Clyde" I saw the gun moll with the red beret. Simple enough. But "Kleid"? Where did that come from? So I googled Kleid and found fashion and dress references. Very clever play on both language and words. There it is plain as day. Bonnie und βherβ Klein. Nice color but I think a distressed black and white might have added some vintage character to it. The background setting doesnβt really tie in to the image so without a lot of cost Iβd have gone with a shot down a country road for the background. Others have commented on the gun and I have to say a pump shotgun resting on her hip would have done the trick.

Overall I think the review is fair and that the shotgun is a good idea. However, I like the background. It isn't exciting per se, but it's not the focus either.

There is a well known photo of Bonnie Parker with a Thompson or shotgun which is where I got the idea for that.

If you don't I might steal the idea someday.

hmm you are right about the country road and the pump shotgun, but there was a time pressure and limited means... maybe I will re-shoot it one day...
thanks a lot!

Andras,
This is striking. I know this because if it jumps out at me from a bunch of photos it's striking. This jumped out at me.
My only criticism, to get it out of the way to start, is the gun. I know this image is perhaps tongue-in-cheek, but a better prop would improve this, I feel. May be I'll change my mind the longer I look.
The idea is totally engaging and it has the magic ingredient - mystery. All I do, apart from get an eye-full of the gorgeous model, is ask questions. Why? Why? Why? The questions are obvious, but the outfit, hung up, the model, nearly nude, the gun, the look in her eyes, the red beret, the background, the shoes - I think that about covers everything in this. There is a question about everything, and I love that. It adds to my pleasure because there are no answers. Like I said - mystery! And that keeps me, keeps us, looking.
Technically, why would I comment? It's great! A bit of vingetting, but maybe that's intentional, or not there at all. I love the strong contrast and colours.
Then there is the pièce de résistance - the model. I can only say the usual - WOW! What a body and what an unusual and provocative stance. She has a very interesting body and I can see why you want to photograph her. Tall, slender, but not thin, with incredible legs and hips. As ever, the body is not enough, the face is more important, and she comes through with a great look that, despite her wonderful body, you have to look at. I find myself continually returning to her face, those brilliant eyes and that hair.
Altogether wonderful, Andras. I shall watch for more and return to search for more soon.

thank you very much for this elaborate and eloquent comment. I forwarded your blog link to Petra, she will probably be happy about your words as well.
otherwise I even agree with you on the gun issue, but finally I thought that it might add to the ironic side of it.
thanks again, I am honoured that you took your time to write down everything that you think abut the image.
[as for your question marks: I hope you speak a bit of german and you got the pun...]

Thanks for the tip. I realised it was spelled differently but I omitted to check it out. OMG! What a burke!
If Petra has a home page, or something, I would be happy to add that, if you agree. She deserves it, I think. If she doesn't, have you thought about suggesting modelmayhem.com to her. [link] I only suggest it because *olpluvr is on it. I have no idea how worthy it is, but it looks OK to me.
It's strange about the gun, thing. I had a feeling the more I viewed this the less it would matter and the more it would add. That seems to be true. I think the gun is fine as it is.

what a witty way to express contempt.

The last laugh is with you, my friend. I will keep in mind your example on negative criticism such as this.
Of course, they are completely wrong. This is way up above 5.
I saw this image featured here: [link] She is an inspiration and a great photographer.
I'll comment on this properly later. First I have to fav it.
