I think this photo really shows how I improved as a photographer cause it uses many techniques of a good photograph. Compositionally, the photograph follows rule of thirds creating a focus on the mannequin. The background is interesting as well because it isn't distracting but not completely black, you can still see black shapes and a sort of backlighting is created which also creates a leading line towards the mannequin. Its interesting how the light reflects a little off the head of the mannequin. I think one of the really important things I've learned as a photographer is seeing everything as through a lens because you know a good photo when you see one. Also, I think its important that you know what you're shooting not a general area, but focusing on something specific.
