Oh, yeah I remember this. The replica in Piazza Della Signoria. I envy you for being there. Combination of the silhouette and a part of the statue is very clever. Beautiful presentation Mick!! #937015Christina N. Seuser June 08, 2008
I love your composition here! A wonderful B&W shot. #6036181Lonnie M. Scott June 09, 2008
Wow...tones and texture..this one has it all!! I like the way you got the shadow in relationship to the subject. Luck or composition??? (tell the truth).......Well done Mick!! #6039317Mick Burkey June 09, 2008
Thank you all for your kind words. Lonnie, composition, and a crop. But needed the luck of a bight enough day to make the shadow. We were staying right on the edge of the Piazza Della Signoria, so that helped :) #6039673Conrad L. Conero June 09, 2008
Clever idea and strong contrast here, Mick. #6040550Joan E. Hoffman June 09, 2008
