Back-Alley Madonna by

Best viewed large…..

A well-known alley way in Melbourne (to photographers especially). I thought the mannequin in the window looked so incongruous amid the rubbish and graffiti and general grunginess of the scene. There were even a few interesting characters just out of frame when I took this – I think they were indulging in some ‘chemical entertainment’!
HDR created with tonal adjustment. Added texture layers.
Nikon D700 with 24 – 70 mm lens.

    OMG! This is super fine. Love it all, the textures, the colors and the lady all clean and pretty (in her plastic perfection) in white. Great work.
