This was an experiment to make something of a poorly lit and hence heavily contrasted shot. I think I got a lot of the way there, but there are still a few things to fix. I might even remove the background completely and work something from there.

The pink shoes were nice, but we did not buy them, but we did buy the dress. It was while we were on vacation in Krakow and, as you can see, I was in the fitting room with Ania. Other men wait outside for their partners, waiting to give an opinion which may or may not be taken kindly. Other men stay safely out of the shop, waiting on their own or with other men in a similar situation, each trying to avoid the other's gaze. Some men avoid the issue almost entirely be ensuring they do not shop with their wives - almost, because they must have some opinion, positive, about the clothes bought.
