P J W Miller from Chase Terrace, United Kingdom
Hope no one saw you composing this one, I like the closeness of this and the POV is excellent, sort of juxtaposed and super in mono, the shadow detail is super too

Paco Díaz from Palma de Mallorca, Spain
The words of Warhol drive us to see the deep sense of this image, and the fact that the mannequins wear sexy lingery adds mystery to the whole.

I like the composition in this shot with the one way in the back and the lighting and color toning are perfect, but I hope Warhol is wrong ... don't want to spend the rest of my life in a department store! Hope you found something you like?! ;)

Howard F. from South Pasadena, Calif., United States
How did you get that deep line around your waist & cool Photoshopping your head out :))) Haha. I really like Warhol's quote, I wouldn't mind end up in a department store/mall. As long as they restock the place regularly so I don't get bored. Nice shot.
11 May 2009 6:30pm
@Howard F.: You made me giggle, thanks Howard. Winding up in a department store sounds like a bit of a nightmare to me!
Phototherapy from Switzerland
Department store, hum... why not...
I much prefer the store you gave us, the lingerie seem lost on the mannequins, cold vs warm, this is a bit sad.
