Plastic Dreams, a photo from Barcelona, Catalonia

Photographer's Note

In the "Passeo de Gracia", The Grace Avenue, you are able to walk throught the most exquisite shops and restaurants of Barcelona. One can find there plenty of modernism buildings, and quite a large amount of style shops.

This one belongs to a fashion one, I observed the sytle of their expositure to the public, and I took a few shots, I really loved this one, seems the woman is really alive, like dreaming or thinking.

Artistic composition. The subject is very good, the framing perfect. I like the texture and the right exposure of this shot, aiming to give us a pleasant and good feeling. We can see typical buildings (Eixample?) of Barcelona (by reflection). I like it very much, congratulations.

That is one cold lady! I like this window shot, it is a clean and simple composition. Maybe you should crop harder on the left to lose the sky. The reflection is just enough to give a little of the Bacelona feeling.

I really like your idea of capturing this scenery. It contains various interesting objects. Personally I favourite the material/fabric in the background and the design of the lamps, and the doll completing that design style. Well done David!

Very well seen, David, and perfectly put in scene with your composition and frame.
The round form of the lamps in accordance with colour to the background, opposite to the straight line and black.
Big point to you, and to that unknown who arranged it.

For some reason I keep moving to the left trying to catch her eyes. Yeah, its that effective. Lovely shot.

Remarkable compositional choices here. The reflections in the window let us know that this is indeed a window, and I'm grateful for the context. Very engaging and intriquing image!

Great composition. The dark black color on the manequin against the brown background also looks good.
Unfortunately the windows reflections brings down the photograph.

Hola David

Una foto exquisita, muy elegante y con una composición soberbia... Los maniquís siempre dan juego para interesantes fotos.

Un saludo!!
