Description
This image is nothing special, but it was interesting to find this very explicit ad for an exhibition at the Leopold Museum.
Background
This photo was taken 20121217 by Magnus L Andersson in Leopold Museum (Neubau/Vienna, Austria) using a Leica M Monochrom (M9) with a Leica Summilux-M 35 mm f/1.4 ASPH.
Comments
I would most probably not have taken this photo if it was not for the people in the background that in a way became a contrast to the nudity.

Comments
As with many shots this day, I had by mistake adjusted the exposure compensation. However, in this case, it did not really have any impact on the rest of the settings.

Comments
To adjust for the unintended exposure compensation, I added an Exposure of +0.5. The Polaroid 665 Negative HC (Affinity) emulation is a bit of favorite by its increased exposure of the mid-tones that works very well for this type of image.
