window for dummies

i have to confess that i didn't actually notice the dummies until i looked at this on the computer... ;p

processed from RAW in LR5, converted to b&w in nik silver efex using the push process (+3) preset, blue filter and coffee toner... plus the various tweaks playing with sliders and control points...

[summerfield]

is this the simpson's building? this is a great shot. gives a sense of mystery yet you know there's none. or is there really?

[☠northy]

@summerfield possibly? probably? now i'm trying to remember which way i was facing when i took this... i was on top of the parkade in the eaton centre

Cool shot...love the 'dummies'.

[SquamLoon]

Very cool. Worth the process, and makes me consider Silver Efex anew.

[Carly]

interesting shot and the dummies are a nice find :)

[thirtysevenways]

Love it when you find something in the photo you didn't see when taking it. I think it is a bit mean that the dummies have had their heads though. They might like to look out at the view.

[Michelle]

I love this.. those deep moody tones are lush x

[Mary Downing Hahn]

I love the dark tones and texture, as well as dummies glimpsed in the window. It's amazing the things you see after you take the picture.

[Kate Goring]

Fabulous shot, love the textures and lines.

[Frida]

Cool cool shot! Love your processing northy!

[Alison Tomlin]

My kind of place. Love your processing. Very relieved to see some competition entries since I wasn't here to remind everyone!

[Humphrey Hippo]

Love the brickwork & all the patterns. Cool processing!

[Arefin]

fabulous contrast and love the composition!

[Lisa Pouncy]

Brilliant. Fav xx

[Katie]

Very cool and evocative. And dummies. So random!

[MaryBeth Dailey]

OMG! This shot is so great and the title was icing on the cake! haha! I like to peek in all the windows ...not just the dummy ones. Fav!

[Taffy]

Oh, so funny! The shot itself is a brilliant composition -- the textures, grittiness especially. Then, the bonus of those funny little figures. And your title is a great play on the series of books.

[☯ Sarah ☁]

Cool shot, great textures & love the dummies :)

[Abhijit]

Love this shot. What is EOTB challenge?

[☠northy]

@abhijit tx! EOTB is "eye of the behder". Basically taking a picture of something the non-photography world wouldn't look twice at and making it look purty :)

[Caroline]

The dummies are wonderful.

[Talea]

Ha! A window full of bosoms! They certainly add a punch!

[Kitti Nelson]

Such a cool composition without the dummies and then finding the awesome bonus and a truly witty double pun! Kudos - you rock!!!
