A photograph of someone else’s artwork (in the case, the mannequins in the display window) isn’t a good photograph.
If I took a photo of the Mona Lisa, does that mean I took a great photo?
Potentially, yes. Here’s a shot from a friend of mine – the cute couple in front of the Mona Lisa makes the shot.

Are you saying he shouldn’t have submitted the photo, thus denying me with the joy of it?
Are store displays art in that sense?
Except there’s more to that photo than just “two mannequins in a window.” I mean, I still agree it isn’t amazing, but the reflections and colors make it at least interesting to me.
The line of mannequin butts, though. That is high art. (Really, though, I admire whoever got jeans that tight on that many mannequins. I’ve dressed them before and they are a bitch to dress.)
The trick is to put cheap pantyhose on them first. The jeans slide right on. Then you cut the pantyhose just above the hem of the pants.
I want that pile of toys. Also the kid with the car is hilarious.
#8 has made me hungry for bacon
