When it ISN'T Halloween

When it ISN'T Halloween

Encountered these captive creatures last April in Center City, Philadelphia on one of the main streets, probably Walnut. Posted it at the time, as a black and white image.

Now I've used Topaz ReStyle to breathe some new death into it.
-----
Don't they look hopelessly forlorn?

  Terrific job with this, Michelle - and I agree with Gord. Kind of reminds me of me BC (before coffee).

  A very powerful image, Michelle.

The girl in front seems very sad about being trapped. But is she trapped in her body or behing the steel gate?
And is she a sweet girl waiting to be freed or will we all regret if she is turned loose? And will she free her friends too?

HAHA! I think my imagination is running amok here!
There is so much to look at and so many thougts provoked.

REALLY GREAT WORK!!!

  I agree about the book cover, or it would serve as a great promo for a number of TV offerings this season.
