I saw this manequin's head peering out of a shop window overlooking a busy street in a busy street in Mahebourg on the island of Mauritius, where I live. She seemed to be like the rest of us,oblivious and so distant to the hustle and bustle of the town life.

Can't believe it scored so low. Definitely deserved better than #98 on the list. This was one of my favorites.

Interesting shot. Think it could have been a little better if the head had been placed a little lower and toward the left of the frame (rule of thirds). Saying that, I don't know what's out of the frame to the right, so it might not have been possible. I just think it would have had a little more impact with a smaller margin of yellow on the left and a lsightly smaller one on the right with the rest of the background made up of the draperies/blinds.

I guess I don't understand it. Doesn't seem very city-ish to me.

Interesting. I like the colors.

A good shot that would be better if your subject weren't centered.

Technical looks pretty good. Composition and WOW factor need some work in my opinion.

using the rule of thirds would have made for a more appealing shot.

This is really cool. Great sense of texture, kitsch, slight surrealism. The colours and lighting are nice.

Nice composition; like how you've framed the "city girl" with the blue on the bottom and yellow on the left. Has a real Twilight Zone feel to it.....nice.

Those doll heads are spooky.

interesting... it would have been nice to saturate the color a bit...
