Hugo, I just love this ! Not only the mannequin but the way you framed her cage - how strong and moving at the same time ! The focus on her wet (with light) eyes is gorgeous. A big Bravo*

Exquisite. I think it's interesting that a shop selling this traditional dress uses a blonde mannequin. But then again, all ladies look good in such garments. :-)

Here's a departure for you, Hugo. There is something so evocative and compelling in your image. Suggestive. A forbidden cage.

Lovely and forlorn. Is she caged in the store... or in her mannequineness? Evocative lighting.

It's a master photo, dear Hugo; I'm deeply moved by the beauty and sadness of this artwork.
I had the pleasure to be a witness to your artistic development; you'll arrive very far in your journey; continue and experiment, my friend.

A good traveller has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving.
