Contest 239: Poster power

This innovative poster hoarding on London's Oxford Street doesn't seem to be doing its job very well - everyone's ignoring it. What can we do to make it more impressive? Surely there must be some way of capturing the attention of passers by?

High res is here.

I call this one Photoshoot At The Pillar. It seems that people are starting to notice it.

Detail on the film poster wasn't good enough as it's so small so here is the real thing.

I love how you did the smoke at the bottom right hand corner of the pic! You mind telling how you did that? If it's too much to go in to I understand.

I do a lot of photoshop fog for a friends band that I do promo stuff for and thought that I did it fairly well... until I saw your smoke..very realistic.

Les, nothing clever on my side with PS here, just image sampling messing around and trying to get them to fit in!

Cheers Trevor.

(watch out for copy**cht of course)
