Wild and free. There you are window shopping in the rain. Actually this is wonderful. Your perspective makes this seem like the frame in a movie.

Very cool! It seems almost as if the doll is more real than the man walking by.

Nataly from Santa Monica, United States
Great find! The lady seams to show some attitude . Well, she is allowed. To strike a pose 24/7 is not an easy job.
Happy New Year and all the best!!!

Anna.C from LA ROCHELLE, France
j'aime beaucoup ton titre et ta photo tout à fait symbolique pour la circonstance ! j'aime la silhouette du couple qui s'éloigne, le mouvement des gens en premier plan, la nana est tout simplement incroyable on dirait un mannequin de cire ! doux passage d'année à toi, see you soon K@, bises !
31 Dec 2008 9:22am
@Anna.C: C'EST un mannequin de cire (de la boutique de vêtements, en fait).... J'aimais bien les trois plans, le couple qui s'éloigne, la fille figée qui attend et l'homme qui la dépasse à vive allure - hier, auj, demain... Gros bisous, Anna, et merci*

@Lorraine: Merci beaucoup - je prends tes étoiles, ça réchauffe ;o) Et puis j'ose avouer que je suis vraiment contente de cette photo prise il y a quinze jours, après avoir déjeuné dans un sympathique bistrot parisien situé au bout de cette rue, sur la droite... A bientôt, Lorraine !

zahai from Berlin, Germany
A wonderful capture. I didn't realize that it was a doll at first, got irritated by her face, and... great stuff, as always, I love the contrast and composition. A happy new year to you :)

Veronelle from Lens, France
Bonne année a toi Karine, passe un bon reveillon et demain sera un autre jour comme tu le dis si bien !
Ce qui m'attire dans cette photo c'est l'aspect "mannequin" de la dame qui fait robot avec un regard au loin !
31 Dec 2008 11:24am
@Veronelle: C'EST un mannequin sorti de la vitrine d'à côté pour attirer le chaland ,o) Biz

grouser from Ludlow, United Kingdom
It's a relief to know she's not real
I was a trifle worried about her complexion and
she must be rather soggy
Lovely surreal shot
Happy New Year

NarB from Bruxelles, Belgium
Mais quelle ambiance :)
J'aime beaucoup tes traitements, tu me fais voir le bruit d'une autre façon.
Que l'an neuf soit plein de bonheur pour toi et tes proches.
31 Dec 2008 12:14pm
@NarB: Oh mais je prends volontiers ces bonnes vibes ! Le bruit et le silence, il n'y a bien qu'en photo qu'on peut à ce point les faire chanter ensemble ;o) Merci et du tout doux pour toi** aussi...
Alaukika from Pune, India
Extremely lovely composition of the modern world. I love the visual effect you've given here.

grapf from Göttingen, Germany
très belle image: j'aime le grain et l'athmosphère triste. Mais le clou est impression d'être entre des mondes divers, la vie reale sur une, une vie artificielle sur l'autre coté.
31 Dec 2008 12:17pm
@grapf: Exactly ! You got it perfectly - merci**
Robert from Kingsville, Canada
It took a minute ,but finally saw that she was a mannequin ! Third leg kind of helped ! nice capture k@ . Bonne année .
31 Dec 2008 12:30pm
@Robert: ,o) Yes, we should all have a third leg or arm or whatever unusual to let others know who we really are ! Thanx, Robert*

hugo poon from hong kong, Hong Kong
"To me, photography is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event, as well as of a precise organisation of forms which give that event its proper expression. I believe that through the act of living, the discovery of oneself is made concurrently with the discovery of the world around us which can mould us, but which can also be affected by us. A balance must be established between these two worlds - the one inside us and the one outside us. As the result of a constant reciprocal process, both these worlds come to form a single one. And it is this world that we must communicate. But this takes care only of the content of the picture. For me, content cannot be separated from form. By form, I mean the rigorous organisation of the interplay of surfaces, lines and values. It is in this organisation alone that our conceptions and emotions become concrete and communicable." Henri Cartier-Bresson
I start to understand what HCB meant after looking at your wonderful image! What a great one to wrap up 2008!:-)
All the best for 2009!!!
31 Dec 2008 12:48pm
@hugo poon: Hugo, this is such a gift ! A tremendous Thanks to YOU* whom I love the work so much too ! See you with great pleasure in 2009 - happiness and two worlds, at least, in one, yes -, generous & talented man....

Rabbit from Richmond, United States
Very strange woman. I think she looks like she is dead.
31 Dec 2008 2:05pm
@Rabbit: Just because she's a mannequin of the shop close-by and not a real woman, maybe ? ;o)
NADINE DERUYCK from KLUISBERGEN, Belgium

Line Lamarre from Montréal, Qc., Canada
Très symbolique cette image. Je suis jalouse, je voudrais l'avoir dans mon porte folio, mais combien heureuse qu'elle fasse partie du tien! Ce qui m'a frappé en l'ouvrant, ton titre, parce que sans savoir nos mots en pensées ce sont rejoints le même jour. Je te souhaite que du beau et puisses-tu profité de la vie autant que tes images et t'avoir connu me procure, bisouxx pour toi K.
31 Dec 2008 2:36pm
@Line Lamarre: The same for you my dear ! A demain avec du soleil au moins au coeur*
john4jack from Corvallis, United States
Beautiful street scene. So well composed. Do we walk alone as the woman coming toward us; or, do we share an umbrella? It can make all the difference in the world. Peace, love and joy to you, K, and to those you love.

patrick from Saint James, United States
Wow this is a great image, would love to know how you achieved that affect. :)
31 Dec 2008 3:17pm
@patrick: It was the end of day, 15 days ago, I just saw that mannequin on the pavement, and wait for some other people to enter my frame, and Clic, I took several shots ! I just desaturated very little since it was already dusk and only the shop light flashed... And that's it, my dear Patrick ! Thanks for asking and have sweet times with the ones you love*

la pluie qui déforme les images, la pluie qui adoucit les angles , la perspective de la rue qui allonge le chemin..une photo singulière empreinte de nostalgie avec les gouttes comme des larmes, bref ..une merveilleuse photo.
Meilleurs voeux ...bonne année emplie de lumière.

jim from sebastopol, United States
at first i thought she was a frightened young person who han ran away from a bad situation.. alone and afraid.. but then i realised she was a mannequin, not a person, but still invoking compassion in me.
may your new year be filled with joy and blessings abundant. jim

Damon Schreiber from Toronto, Canada
Haunting image with lots of texture. It's amazing how even with a rather grainy image, we see intuitively that one of these people is a mannequin. Keep it up in 2009, Karine!

Je commence cette année chez toi avec ce clic formidaaable, ce mannequin au regard troublant qui vient heurter notre curiosité visuelle. Sublime instant, ce couple qui s'éloigne, cette silhouette qui te frôle, quelle scène de vie !
J'en profite également pour te remercier de tes voeux et te dire à quel point je suis ravie de passer chez toi quotidiennement , c'est un régal , un moment fort sur la toile.
Je te souhaite de trouver l'energie necessaire pour supporter ce que tu traverses... je t'embrasse
