    This is a killer shot. In regard to the "nostrils" comment by Todd, I also noticed it but in the end decided that the sort of staircase effect of the three heads/noses as presented looks even better.

    That's a very generous comment. These school kids were swarming like bees around me - once they realized they could have their photo taken and see the outcome on the spot. I tried to be inconspicuous, to no avail. Thanks again.

    Nothing has been added or removed. I underexposed the background and added fill flash. The window is actually an opening in an exterior wall, hence you don't see a window per se.

    I used a polarizer to darken the sky and enhance the contrast in the clouds. Unfortunately, lot of detail got lost because I stupidly forgot to compensate the exposure for the polarizer, which absorbs almost 2 stops. Luckily I bracketed the exposures so I could rescue this image. I like the enhanced contrast due to the underexposure so not harm was done in the end. Thanks all.

    Philipp has a good point about the highlight at the very left. I hadn't realized how distracting it is until I tried fix it in photoshop. I have then uploaded a corrected version. Thanks all.

    The typical case of the drunken Subaru. I wonder when the Japanese are going to fix that. They are pretty reliable otherwise, you know? (I mean Subaru's)
