The perspective isn't clear due to the narrow DOF. First, is looks like some odd dominatrix thing, with foreground model imperiously looking down at a (kneeling? prone?) submissive green-wigged woman. Then you see it's a dummy, and then you note the baby/cradling relationship. That's my 2 cents on a viewer phenomenology anyway. It's creepy on a few different levels - I like it :-) Scott Richard wrote: > Thanks! You may be right. I am "too close" to the image, so I know > exactly what it is.
