Like Gordon Gekko Said, Green Is Good by

Reflections are always guaranteed to get my attention. So when I caught sight of the unusually contoured reflections in the shoulders, neck and “face” of this store mannequin, I had to drop anchor immediately and take a shot.

I was striding through a shopping centre at Darling Harbour, Sydney and was intrigued by this sight. The colours draped around the shoulders added to the value of what I saw, and I knew that the depth of field would produce some interesting tones on the metal hangars in the top-left background.

I do not crop, enhance of post-edit my images in any way. Shot with a Pentax K100D, using a Sigma 18-125mm lens. F5.6, 1/60 sec, ISO 800, focal length 125mm.

Featured in STATUES AND SUCH, June 2010.

  • The REAL fun, Cee, was screeching to a halt to take the shot, like the Road Runner cartoons!
