This is an image I had wanted to submit to the surrealism contest a while back. However, the mannequin images I used I was unable to get clearance for. :( So I have finally reworked the image with a couple of royalty free mannequin images because I really liked the idea.

Sky, mountains and ground were done in Bryce. The eye, both mannequins and their shadows were done and assembled in Photoshop. Hope you like this one. I thought about using it in the "Road Less Travelled" contest, but there's no road :D

Edit: After several of the comments I decided to throw this into the contest mix. Stiff though, there is some awesome work already entered.

First off, Mike, I have mentioned this to others...'the road less travelled' does not have to mean a literal road...it can also mean a way of life that few pursue or few have had to travel and therefore your image would fit the contest theme and make a unique entry...I am also impressed by your very fine work in bringing all the elements together in this very thought-provoking work...great job and if you enter it, best of luck.

Everyone has a photographic memory. Some just don't have any film.

I think this is exceptional! I don't think you really need the road, I think that can be interpreted in more than one way, I hope you will submit it into the contest. Tigs♥ =^..^=

I agree with Pat and the others; you don't need a road, Mike. It is a wonderful piece of art and you obviously put a great deal of effort into creating the surreal mood. You even have the mannequin shadows~! Fantastico!

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.

I'm pretty sure this place is not in the travel brochures and the locals warn you to stay away. Fantastic work and an outstanding image. Best of luck in the contest.
