Many types of mannequins make intriguing if not artistic pictures. Sometimes the mannequins are lit beautifully in store front windows and without photo manipulation they can make great shots. Sometimes they lend themselves to abstract images. I found this particular mannequin in Fez, Morocco and I liked the facial features plus the head attire, and I used Topaz Simplify to abstract it. I also desatured the colors and eliminated background elements because they were distracting. I didn't use a tripod for this, and my slow shutter gave me a picture that wasn't tack sharp. That's why I abstracted this to make it more like a painting than a photo. Canon 5D Mark III, 70-200mm f/2.8 lens, 1/40th, f/4, 800 ISO.
