Yeah…but mannequins scare me. LOL. But your right. It is a very good composition.
Haha, yeah, it's called Uncanny Valley.
Basically Uncanny Valley is a hypothesis concerning the emotional response of humans to non-human entities. The more human like in the items appearance and motion, the emotional response from a human being to the item will become increasingly positive and empathic, until a point is reached beyond which the response quickly becomes that of strong repulsion. However, as the appearance and motion continue to become less distinguishable from a human being, the emotional response becomes positive once more and approaches human-to-human empathy levels.
This area of repulsive response aroused by a robot or other non-human entity with appearance and motion between a “barely-human” and “fully human” entity is called the uncanny valley. The name captures the idea that a robot or non-human entity which is “almost human” will seem overly “strange” to a human being and thus will fail to evoke the empathetic response required for productive human-robot interaction.
Personally, I'm not as affected by this theory, as I can separate the two. Old dolls used to scare the piss out of me, but now only specific ones do and there's usually some really bad/paranormal mojo associated with it.
