Not only is plastic an imitation of the real thing, but it is also easily molded to suit whatever the beholder might wish - as if we can create the woman or man of our desires merely by forcing someone to fit them! So we get what we pay for, in that sense, and it might not be quite what we expect after all. Lots of potential for metaphor here - which I truly enjoy. I like the way the shot opens itself to levels of interpretation.

Haha you unmasked me, Miro! This is actually taken with a Rebel, noise filter set to "low". endika

Plastic look. Is this picture made by Canon? Sorry couldn't resist. Like the idea and a tittle and they fit each other well.

Thank you for your comments!
Unfortunatelly, the translation of the lyrics of this song overcomes my skills in english, and I haven't been able to find a translation on the web. I can say Kleivis nailed it. endika

My spanish is limited to ordering beer and then only one at a time but I think plastic is pretty international so I can get the general picture of the lyris and this image goes really well.

I think a get an idea of the meaning of that song, based on my few spanish words, speaking of falsness, empty values and artificial love.
(If that's true..) you give it a really good and original interpretation.

I looked at this for quite some time before even seeing the camouflaged hombre plástica. Very cool.
