I love the drawing manniquins and I am very partial to them when I see them. This one is no exception to that. I love the whole concept here and think it meets the challenge nicely. It is a bit to soft but still has a very good composition going for it.
Keep up good efforts and I look forward to seeing more of your wooden pal in the future.
I like the overall feeling of this photograph, especially the soft luminous tonal quality and the simple and playful approach to what could be a 'trivial' challenge topic. The juxtaposition of the 'rounded' figure with the surrounding rectangularities, emphasized by both light and shadows, creates a dynamic sufficient to make this photo worthwhile beyond the challenge itself.
The two somewhat crudely cut (exactaknife/cardboard?) rectangles on the right are a little distracting, perhaps, from a capture which is otherwise quite meticulously executed. Compositionally, I could imagine the figure (left) a little higher too, covering perhaps two thirds of the height of the picture...
Cute scene, and setup. It's rather blurry, however - you may want to check what resolutions your camera is capable of, the focus (and if it's autofocus, whether a different angle causes it to do better), and/or a bit of photoshop or the appropriate similar program to sharpen things up.
At first, I thought this would be a better setup if you could do it with a real person. BUT, the more I look at it, the more I like it with the little model man thing. Great lighting.
excellent shot... I love the softness and the glow of the light in this photo. I also have this little soft spot in my heart for these wooden mannequins. I have seen quite a few really great photos using these as props. I have to make a trip to the art supply store after work today and I may just pick up a couple of these for myself :) I have been wanting to try some of this.... good work :) = 9
