This one's great! Did you have the person hold that pose in front of the 'A', or was it a 'happy accident?

"A diptych pairs two images to create a single visual idea. The photographs can be connected by subject, color, mood, motion, or contrast. They might show similarity or difference, before and after, near and far, quiet and loud. The power of a diptych comes from the relationship between the two images, and the conversation they create when viewed together." -- From a photo club assignment/friendly competition.

Traditionally (historically), diptych photos were framed from side to side (i.e., left and right), but they can also be displayed vertically (top and bottom) as I have done here. It's fine.

All photos shown below were taken by myself within the last 3 months.
