    Recession In Ireland - Everything Must Go

    One from my visit to the auld sod over the weekend. The country is close to bankruptcy and the pubs are heaving.
    Critique welcomed.

    Tom - I would bet that shop is not alone. Even so, the naked mannequins give it a certain piquancy. Nicely done.

    The whites look a bit blown out, but nice capture in any case. Ireland is such a great place. S

    Nice composition and capture.

    I do find the white line/reflection above the mannequins distracting (but not overly so).
    No, I DON'T need that.

    Clever visual joke. I like this. Black and white might work too.

    Tom, your sense of humour is always clever and enjoyable and when it comes to your photography it too sometimes finds it's way in and makes a photo much more than it is on the surface. It would be a good photograph on its own but with the title it is quite good.

    Seeing these scenes is one thing; doing them justice is another. Yet again, you've managed both.

    Great work as always.
