Artsy Window

This caught my eye while out doing the Grey Cup sightseeing. I was going to remove the refection but after I pp'd it I quite liked how it turned out and I think the refection makes the photo...Some of you might say it makes it to busy...I thought I would put it in the Critique for thoughts....

I also removed the 2 lights in the first post as they were kinda buggin me the more i looked at them so does that make a difference?

Thanks Greg...:)

They look fantastic to me. I like the second one a little more. They look like holograms. Cool colours.

Great capture Cas! I think you're right - it's a nicely artistic shot!

I like 'em both... not sure which one I prefer. I like the 'darker' feel and the 'red' of the first one, but like Antz I like the holographic/futurist look of the 2nd.

Guess it depends on what one 'sees' in the image. I'm sort of 'seeing' both mannequins with a futuristic look (wonder what it would look like if they were both red?), on a dark gritty store background, as sort of a conceptual commentary on the futuristic commercialization of the sex industry... or with a bit more post as sort of a 'Blade Runner-esc' Red Light district. But that could just be because I forgot to take my meds today :)

Thanks AntZ and MO...I think you hit the nail on the head as to what I was seeing there. I was thinking along the lines of perfect plastic bodies for all the grimy world to see or something like that...a statement on today's materialistic body-obsessed society,

Okay time to go back on my meds...lol! :o

I like the 2nd also ... the lighting looks so much better on the red mannikin.

A cool series. I like the second as well. :)
