 This is a large advertising image tensioned over the scaffolding on the old Post Office building in Edinburgh. The vertical lines provide physical strengthening to the material but they also provide visual strengthening as they accentuate the repeated patterns of the models in the image.

I decided not to crop the image tightly to the artwork for fear of maybe breakign the rules on 'works of art' and also so as people could make sense of what the photo is portraying (though whether everyone gets the parallel business is doubtful as it's a bit subtle!)

that's a very nice subject although I think a little more contrast wouldn't hurt
