I'll do my best.

;-)

Btw, someone earlier in the thread (the email is now gone so I don't remember 
who) asked exactly what is was I photographed.

It was a backlit advertisement on a bus shelter for a lingerie company, maybe 
La Senza. The whole panel featured a young lady in bikini panties and bra with 
body position and facial expression that left no doubt they were selling sex, 
not undies. I'm no prude and I certainly am not offended by depictions of 
sexuality. In this case I found it rather distasteful that they used a model 
who looked in her early teens and I thought the whole thing objectified women 
in an unacceptable way.

In fact about a week before I took this one I took one of the whole image but 
couldn't figure out how to present it in a way I felt comfortable with.

Then I saw the moustache and got the idea of what I was going to do. I don't 
know if the moustache was a political statement or just vandalism, but I liked 
it. And my photograph is intended as a political statement (but how you as 
viewer take it is obviously up to you).

So there it is. In all it's glory.

;-)

Thanks to all who looked and commented.

Cheers,
frank
