    Strange Figures

    I am always looking at different things. Spotted these guys today. This is my take on 'shapes and sizes.' C&C most welcome.

    Nice and simple Ole...I like it. Now I am left wondering whether they are looking out or wanting out of there...

    Fabulous eye! Such an enjoyable image with its lines that so nicely frame and support the subjects and with its use of cool and warm colors that make the subjects pop.

    I agree with the positive comments made.

    My very first reaction was to wonder about the very string liners of the perspex barrier that we see at the bottom of the image. But having returned a couple of times to the image and let it just soak into me, I see and feel the strength of the image as it is.

    A superb, contemporary, urban picture.

    I agree, great shot!

    Full of interesting geometric lines and shapes which is nicely contrast with the human form of the mannequins.

    I had the exact same initial reaction and came to the exact same conclusion. There's quite a lot to be said of any image that makes me think and this image certainly did that.
