Walking along the streets of Manhattan, I spotted these mannequins in a store window. Since I did not have a nude model I wanted nor the place to shoot,I decided this might make an interesting shot.

This is another of my top five picks (all b/w btw). On my monitor it looks a little washed out on the chest of the gentleman in the rear but otherwise it is superb.
Interesting lighting and I like the somewhat jumbled composition - works well for the subject. I like the inclusion of the single face and eyes and would like it to be just a touch further into the frame.
i think this is a cool composition, but I would not have included the face of the one manniquin, as well, the whole image seems soft without purpose. Otherwise, very cool shot. :)
I've seen worse queues! I really like the ambience of this - with a sense of what is real and what isn't. It's a bit of a dilemma really - can mannequins be sexy? I think they can (in the same way that Jessica Rabbit is a babe!). ; )
