She's saying to him "...if all I need is a sausage in cling film I'll go to that fridge over there.... so talk to me first and then we'll go back upstairs"

Astounding contrast between their nudity and the fridge. Gives really the idea of a consumeristic morgue ;-)) Oh, and LOL at Kimberly's comment...

Guest		16-Mar-2006 06:52
Fantastic capture. Well seen, well executed.

Jude Marion		16-Mar-2006 05:13
Exceptional image, Ray! I love it! GMV!

Guest		16-Mar-2006 04:52
There is a naked good looking girl in the stairs. Great capture!

Karen Leaf		16-Mar-2006 02:30
Hmmm I wonder what naturalists shop for at a mall? What a great find Ray.

Ray Rebortira		16-Mar-2006 02:30
Even frozen images have a life of their own. This is brilliant!!!

Guest		16-Mar-2006 01:59
Cool shot Ray

Faye White		16-Mar-2006 01:42

'Nude(s) descending a staircase'....hmmmm...

Carole Stevens		16-Mar-2006 00:28

wernere01		15-Mar-2006 23:05
I knew plastic people would be bored staying around in shopping windows one day. Stunning b&w composition. gmv

They look like they're going down the escalator, too.. lol

Guest		15-Mar-2006 22:22
LOL! well seen and well composed. I love the light and the diagonals in the composition. Also, the juxtaposition of mannequins and fridge is really funny. And LOL! at your caption ;-)))) — l'Un.

Guest		15-Mar-2006 22:15
I didn't know mannequins used esculators... makes sense though as they can't walk up the stairs ;-) Great lighting, and different!

KimKong		15-Mar-2006 22:03
Harvey Nichols shops must be running out of space that they store their mannequins in the kitchen. Poor them! Great light and very surrealist image.

Guest		15-Mar-2006 21:58
You don't need cheap hits Ray! Love this composition, voted

Bob Floyd		15-Mar-2006 21:56
This composition rocks. I really like the diagonals against the straight up mannequins and the vertical lines of the fridge and walls. Great job. V.

Cold as ice Ray! Beautiful tones!
