tall/long
Comments:
There are lots of elements of this that I like (the tree; the three sets of leg shapes; the human triangle), but it doesn't gel into a whole for me.
I feel the same way as Colin John but I can't put my finger on why. Perhaps there's just too much in the image. I try imagining it with certain elements removed in the hope of coming up with something constructve to say but I'm not having much luck there either.
The triangle of people echos the triangles in the concrete, which are in turn echoed by the shape of the trees. But all that geometry doesn't seem to add up. Perhaps it's the too busy background getting in the way?
This does look better in a larger format. The intent was to have the trees echo the legs of the woman in the foreground; hence the portrait format. Personally I like pictures with a lot of information so I'll have to remain at odds over this one.
I think the juxtaposition of the long legs with the trees is a too weak for me to see (Without the text).
They are nice long legs though!
There is certainly a lot of information in the picture - a little too much for my taste though. I'm not seeing a strong relationship between the trees and the lady's legs - the trees are straight whereas the lady's legs are slightly turning in towards the knee.
What is of more interest to me is what is happening to pique the interest of the man on the left hand side. This plays stronger as it contrasts well with the dis-interested gaze of the lady in front.
