   Clever title! The block colours and the slight gradation of the three women (the street looks somewhat sloped, I am hopefully correctly deducing?) make the three words and their matching objects all the more fitting. 👏🏻

      The street is pretty flat but the woman on our left if off the pavement, and that may account for the impression you are getting.

            Cartier Bresson also arranges his points of interest so that they describe an S shape from distance to foreground – not in all of his shots, but in quite a few.

   Interesting how you noticed and took advantage of that “hook”.
