Title inspired by trying to figure out Layers in PSE.

It is a 'found' image and not a Photoshop creation.  Well, I did clone out a couple of little distractions....

I've got to be honest and tell you I find this one just a little disturbing. My first guess is that you were walking past a sex toy store! Not sure what you're trying to convey here!

Actually is a commonly seen style of mannequin seen in Thailand.  I've been collecting pictures of them for the last few years and am working up a gallery of some of the best.

I find them wonderful.  Whoever makes these things has a great sense of humor.  I'm really out of the 'shopping mall' loop here in the US.  I don't know if they've been used here yet.  One of the things that I find interesting is that they are all western/European.  I've yet to see an Asian featured face.

So what am I trying to convey?  I'm not sure that I often try to convey anything.  I mostly take pictures that interest me and remind me of what I've seen on my travels.  For me, this shot says 'urban Thailand' - the face that one sees in so many stores, the overhanging wires, the vehicles, ....  And I had just crossed the street and saw this reflection in the glass, wondered if it would turn out in a picture.

I suppose I like it largely because it's a type of image I've seldom tried.
