Thanks for the perceptive comments so far. The contrasts are certainly a central part of the photo – feminine vs. masculine, bright colors vs muted, etc. Some my photos of Luna have similar contrasts. It is a theme I definitely want to use more deliberately in future photos.
Also, there was an error on the site with this post being shown twice. I corrected it, and consolidated all the comments under a single post.

This photo was taken near the entrance to a gallery at 50 Moganshan Road in Shanghai in June of last year.
50 Moganshan Road is a warren of contemporary art galleries in a formerly industrial section of Shanghai, along the Suzhou Creek.
An interesting array of artsy parts 🙂
Interesting. I wonder what it does?

It looks like it should do something important, like make doughnuts or something!
Wow, that is poor fantasy
Very nice capture. I love all the contrasts.
I love art made from discarded objects. It makes me look at junk with new eyes.
That looks like quite a contraption. It was nice to get the person in there. Her shirt adds a lot of nice olor to the picture.

The sculpture is noticing her, but she’s not noticing it!
Hmmmm. Kind of looks like a robot.
Pretty good contrast – robot & human.
Playing hard to get is a dangerous game.
It would take me awhile to really look at an intricate piece of artwork like that, but I wonder why the gal is looking elsewhere?
Thanks for your comment on my blog. You are right, I really do notice the claws & scales of the alligator better against a contrasting background.
Nice photo!!!
Interesting and cool composition with the statue and the Lady :)!
Thanks for explaining the photo. Very good shot too.
I’d love to visit something like this in another country!
