I especially enjoy the 2nd two in your set - the array of mannequins with the brick background is well composed and interesting - and makes a fine juxtaposition with the next image of a mannequin in the nude (so to speak). I also like the Getty image of the man and sculpture. Someday I'd like to see this array of work. It's really speaking to me - so many different views of the Southland!
