Now this is quite fascinating and Mongo does not mean that for reason of the mannequins (which are in themselves, fascinating enough) but by the combination of evening light (on top of image) and the shadowy light and effects (at the bottom half of image). For some reason, this combination is compelling to Mongo's eye. The fact that you throw in the mannequins on top of this is just an added bonus to the visual experience.

Mongo knows this has been said before but it really must be said again........Tristin, you have a strange neighbourhood !.........never a dull moment.

A very intriguing image, Tristin.  At first, I thought you posted two images of compensating color tones, but realized that this is one frame.  The image includes many different elements to decode: a mannequin flying, two Rodin-esque mannequins, a couple of ornaments of birds, the out-focused cityscape in the distance, the overall colors...

Fascinating photo, were a lot of things come together. That top background is super and finishing the story.

That's what caught my eye as well. Beautiful composition Tristin.

Thanks for the compliments.  I was concerned by the strong and different lightings and almost went b/w, but decided to simply desaturate the image.  Which relly helped. 

My neighborhood is interesting indeed.  :)
