Premium Photo Competition 2013 Q1 : Entry Number 737

This image captures our interest. Apart from the striking colors it makes you trying to figure out which parts of the image are where and what is reflections.

This photo was taken in Oslo, Norway (my home town) in 2002 with my first digital camera, a Canon Powershot G2. The photo is taken into the window of a wig-shop, but on this day there were no wigs on the model-heads. I visited the site about a week later but then there were wigs on the heads, creating a very different and not so interesting look. The window also reflected some buildings at a higher ground, and by working with the angle I managed to place the heads at a position where it seems like they are looking out from above/inside the buildings. The original title I gave it was "Wiches of Enerhaugen" (Enerhaugen beeing the site where the buildings are situated). I don´t remember that much about the post-processing but other than the usual stuff like levels, contrast and saturation there is probably a bit of "Diffuse glow" in there which I think works quite well for it. Thanks for the "Mark of excellence". Very inspiring! :-) Regards Ragnar Westad
