    see http://images.google.com/images?um=1&hl=en&rls=com.microsoft%3Aen-ie%3AIE-SearchBox&rlz=1I7ADBR&q=melodramatic&btnG=Search+Images

    This has some interesting results.

    Not sure a guy in a hi-vis jacket is all that melodramatic......

    MY idea would be a pic of someone over reacting, overacting. Some women are particularly good at that so maybe a female subject would be best........:pac::pac::pac:

    Yeah, melodrama is when everything is exaggerated to the point of being funny but serious. The guy above looks like an AA engineer looking into the engine of a car trying to figure out where that ****ing wire goes.........

    Yeah maybe go for a girl with tousled hair and runny/ smudged mascara. Is it meant to be something captured or can it be a photoshoot style?

    Some of these might be interesting too...

    this indeed sounds like a plan, the picture included in your post is not the way to go imho

    cheers for the input back to drawing board, (or is that photo board) and have another look through the pics or go all out and just get her to take new ones!

    He has no emotion on his face, he looks like he's about to fall asleep
