California Style, Mission Beach, San Diego, California, 2010

Beachwear billboards echo the local lifestyle as they beckon to shoppers along Mission Boulevard. I layer the image with the bark and branches of a Eucalyptus tree, shadowing the billboard, and adding a sense of place to the image.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1
1/1600s f/7.1 at 200.0mm iso100 full exif

Glad you see here what I felt as I made this image, Rose. The contrasts between bark and skin, and the shadowy leafy "hats" made the scene an incongruous one.

I love the contrast between the rough tree bark and the smooth (retouched?) skin of the models. Their "hats" are fabulous, made of leaves and shadows of leaves.
