679th Show & Tell Competition: Alive... Not - WINNER

[jarekm]

Congratulations to the participants and the winners. As usual, it was a hard choice.

HMs:

Walter: I've noticed that mannequins often have an enigmatic smile, the ring of reflected light only adds to the mystery.


Robin: This is so unsettling to me, is this a doll or a real baby, if it is a baby, is it dead or alive?


Jola: A powerful symbol of oppression well captured.


Third place
Ken: It is a statue, but it has such a human-like soft gaze.


Second Place
Walter: To me, it looks like a symbol of our heads messed up by technology.


The Winner
Margaret: Like a scene from a movie from the 60' Who are the girls with the look of resignation on their faces? What is the man in the chair doing there, is he guarding the girls or keeping them in some sort of captivity? One could easily imagine a story based on this picture.

Thanks Jarek for the HM. Congratulations to Margaret and other winners. The baby was a doll. However, quite a few people had to have a second look, including me.

An amusing topic that brought out some good ones! Congratulations to the HM's and winners. Thanks for first place, I like your reaction to the photo but have to say that the captive in this scene is surely that sleeping man in the dress shop.

Will be a puzzle to come up with some good topic to follow this; hope to be back with one shortly!
