talk about an uncommonly good image of a common subject. Well done!
I love the lighitng; your exposure is spot on, and DoF is perfect.
Did you also try this in landscape (with eye of foremost mannequin at upper left "rule of thirds" point & a little neg. space at right)?
Very cool, and meets the challenge. I love how the heads are all turned a little differently, and the strong directional lighting and resulting shadows add interest. Nice tonal range, b&w is a good choice. I'd like to see a little less black space at the top and maybe just a little more at the bottom (assuming there's nothing in the way). Gotta see it to be sure though.
It's cool but should have shot it so there's less of the black on top and more of the clothes on the bottom showing. Great light and contrast, really good.
