Even though it's done with style and in a creative fashion, think about it: What you've penultimately done is walk up to a girl, tell her she's hot, and ask if you can take her picture. That's not unique and it immediately gives her the upper hand in the relationship. You're enforcing her self-sense of social dominance. Even though it may work on occasion, I'm not a fan yet. However, the vacation modification is much better.
First off how many HB10's do you think have men walking up to them asking to take a photo with them? This isn't something so common that it's normal for them. Second, it's an opener. The first words out of your mouth don't need to be the end all of perfection. It's meant to open a dialog with her and it does just that. It might not be the perfect opener but I have no doubt it will work.
And there is nothing wrong with making a woman feel good about herself, just ask long as she doesn't look down on you. Thats why I suggested using DHV in this to make sure she doesn't do it for pity.
But in the end I agree, it's not an opener I would use myself. I just wanted to point out that it wasn't completely junk and with a little adjustment it was usable.
