 I was hanging around here for about 30 minutes waiting for the right person to walk by this display. I knew I wanted to use this for the "Framing" challenge, but what I was really looking for was something like a man in a bowler hat and suit, however as that was pretty much never going to happen, I settled on this scruffy looking guy as a contrast to the lingerie mannequins.

I was going to keep some detail in the guy at first, but I settled for the silhouette in the end as I thought it looked better.

I don't expect to score well here, but I think it's quite amusing and I hope a few people appreciate it!

Seriously underrated! This one was such fun and the framing totally made the shot ... which I think is a very good thing in a Framing challenge ;-)

Mannequins never age and never complain. Just have a look at what Nikonjeb does to his poor loyal mannequin and she never says a cross word about him. What a gal!

Brilliant framing! Conjures all sorts of stories :-) And this would be a completely different image with different mannequins, or if there were just columns there.

good idea, however I lack a clear focus point, either pedestrian or models
