Woman in Window

I like this image not only for its subject and its compostion, but for what it is not. The photograph is actually a sales poster in the window of a shop at Sea Port Village, a high end retail center on the shore of San Diego Bay, which is a popular venue for visitors. I had taken some time to set up the shot, positioning myself so that the outcome looked as real as possible, giving the impression of both exotica and mystique.
