Excellent perspective and rhythm should be the backdrop to the "Virt" generation figure...though yours turned out almost identical...the figure lacks sufficient emphasis. Otherwise, it's not bad at all.

Alexander, thank you for your visit and opinion.
You're right. I failed to highlight the figure properly.
What do you think? If I positioned the girl one finger to the left, would the emphasis be stronger?

Stanislav Stanislavsky, I think so...emphasis is either color, or in the case of black and white, the contrast difference between figure and background.
The task of emphasizing the frame must be decided during shooting, determining what is figure and what is background for you.
In this shot, I repeat, despite the "tasty" geometry, the plot and content are still more important...for they captured the breath of time...people "live with one foot in virtual reality."

Try making the girl lighter and the background darker. Or keep the girl in color. Right now, she blends into the background.
Alexandr Popov, The thing is, the photo was originally taken in black and white. And I completely understand what you're saying. Thanks for your opinion! =)

Alexander Zeonoff, Thank you very much for the detailed answer!!!

Accepted. Too bad I don't use Photoshop. But otherwise, yes. Coloring the girl would be perfect. But in black and white, you also need to highlight the figure to increase its contrast.

Accepted. Too bad I don't use Photoshop. But yeah, yeah. Coloring the girl would be perfect. But in black and white, you also need to highlight the figure to make it more contrasty.
Stanislav Stanislavsky, No need to colorize it)), if you shot in black and white. Of course, you could play with local contrast in post-processing, but I'll say it again: you need to learn to address the issue of emphasis while shooting.
