Don't get the title, but the shot is great. Perhaps B&W to focus on the textures.

Very nicely done. Love the depth of field. Wish you were slightly lower when taking it so the head just peeking out behind was hidden and to be almost on eye level. Doesn't make a difference in score -- just thinking of what I want art-wise. :) -8-

Voted earlier coming back to comment.

There is just something quirky and captivating about these two wooden mannequins. The one that is the main subject in the forefront has this young look of boyish innocence. The one in the back appears more the full grown man. I can't help to equate this to Pinocchio. The young mannequin is the young Pinocchio - innocent in his outlook in life. Instead of his nose growing with each lie we have the tall shadow of the full grown 'man' he will become always shadowing him from behind. Or another way of looking at it symbolically it is the full grown Pinocchio looking at his younger, former self. The thoughts - could be sense of loss, regret or longing for days long past.
