Photographer's Note
Lot has been said about "Bodies" exhibition, about its aesthetical value, its scientific importance, let's not mention the ethical issues. I wouldn't like to tell my opinion before visiting the exhibition.
If you want to learn more about the exhibition, Check here
If you want to see some "inside" photos, check Stelli's gallery.
ABOUT THE PHOTO
On the way to my office, close to Doukissis Plakentias Metro station, at Doukissis Plakentias Str, I saw these two advertisments. The contrast and the contradiction of an exposed dead bodie, and the beautiful lady of the fashion advertisment, the two slogans "A journey to human body" and "everyday people" impressed me and I pushed the button.
WORKSHOP 1- diferent POV, tight frame

Hello Hercules,
This fantastic shot caught my attention because it remembered me at once some scene from the film "Brazil".
Good processing idea and good composition. Thanks!
Bye

That is an interesting coincidence, well captured.
Different kinds of BODIES on the posters.
By the way I have seen this exhibition and I think something was missing. They were focused a lot on the interior but they left out the skin and exterior. That would put the internal parts in a context.
In that way the posters are complementing each other.

Hi Hercules,
such an experience we have had here in Germany several years ago, called "Body-World" ("Kφrperwelten" von Gunther von Hagen)..has been a great discussion all about the news and every broadcasting tv-station..
So i think one should have seen it or be still..
have a fine day, Jassu Bernd
PS.: a fine picture....

I think its very attractive colours and contradiction subjects, really like the combination colours and the grey sky on bg just make it more special. Very good shot Hercules...tfs

Kalispera Hercules.
En cierto modo, ambos cuerpos estαn muertos.
Uno por estarlo fνsicamente y el otro porque no deja de ser un maniquν de carne y hueso... pero vacνo.
Toma frase.
Pero en cualquier caso, no solo me gusta la foto, me gusta en especial como has potenciado el efecto visual por el postprocesado.
Un saludo.

Hola Hercules, en Nueva York tienen una exposicion permanente. En lo personal, fue una experiencia muy interesante y educativa. Lleve conmigo a mi suegra quien es una persona extremadamente religiosa, al pricipio fue un poco chocante para ella, hasta que se dio cuenta que los estudiantes de medicina usan cadaveres para sus practicas y que esto no era algo morboso.
Un saludo,
enrique

Πολύ όμορφο το κόκκινο των διαφημίσεων στο ασπρόμαυρο σκηνικό, μια όμορφη σύνθεση.

Have a nice evening,

Hola seρor.
Pues yo cuando vi la exposiciσn me dejσ maravillado aquν en Barcelona. Fue impactante. Al menos para mi.
El postprocesado, tremendo, hace que la foto sea especial.

Hola amigo Hercules:
Independiente de tu tιcnica profesional, tienes talento en el post procesado. El contraste de ambientes ha sido lo mαs adecuado para esta excelente toma, con un acertado αngulo de tiro en diagonal.
Felicitaciones. Saludos desde Colombia,

Καλημέρα Ηρακλή!
Εντυπωσιακή παρουσιάζεται να είναι αυτή η έκθεση!
Σπουδαία την παρουσιάζεις κάνοντας και τον παραλληλισμό!
Διαφωνούσα με την παρουσία γιγαντοαφισσών αλλά εδώ εχεις καταφέρει να τις παρουσιάσεις συμπαθητικές!
Νάσαι καλά

Hello Hercules,
this is a really fantastic art shot,
well taking and well realized with a great POV. I like so much the contrast between the two types of advertment and the contrast between the red color of the frames and the dramatic sky.
Well done dear friend.
Best regards.

Excellent composition and a great "eye" as always! Thank you for the citation! :) I went to the exhibition once more with my students and I discovered that I was lucky the first time because it was the opening and photos were allowed which is not true right now. You must use your "journalistic" identity! Thank you for sharing! ΦΙΛΙΚΑ Στέλλα

Γεια σου Ηρακλή!
Πολύ ωραία ιδέα και πολύ ωραία η εκτέλεση. Είναι φανταστικό το contrast του α/μ φόντου με τα έντονα χρώματα των αφισών.
Καλό βραδύ
