(Main) contests->b/w challenge
The late painter Salvador Dalí (May 11, 1904 - January 23, 1989) was not only famous by his artwork but for his his eccentric manner and attention-grabbing public actions as well.
This can even be seen in this ornamental garden sculpture, lol. Therefore I've selected this capture both as an early 'Wacky Wednesday' entry and an entry for Lyn's B&W challenge.
To know where I have captured this image, please check-out this link or this one.

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?
He does look like he could be a real zany character. Excellent capture, and a good one for the challenge, Mr. C. Top notch detail in the shot.

Salvador Dali has been my beloved artist for ever... As to his being crazy, this must come together with exceptional sensitivity and freedom in perception & expression. Thanks, dear SEAS, for this portrait of my love ...[Boris, be quiet, the man was dead before you were born!]
Excuse Boris for this interruption, please :)

With your above comment, you've brought me into a 'continuous chuckling or grin mode', SAM. Hope that this will be stopped before I go to bed. If so, thanks for the smile! If not, I'll blame you for that my dear.

PS: give your CIC SAAB aka Boris an extra bone, and he will be quiet, lol.

Very nice subject for the contest and nice to have the history behind this famous person that for my age is well known by me lol.The detail is lovely and sharp and this picture as a 3D effect to it with the frame work and very nicely presented too.

Mr. C. thanks for the links, I did check them out, beside being a good whacky Wednesday post, and a challenge entry, the details are so good it would be a good one for the current eyes contest. I'm so glad you are entering in the challenge, and I hope to see more.

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
That's an excellent sculpture of Salvador Dali - he was a character but also a genius in the world of art - a great Wacky Wednesday post and entry for Lynn's challenge - Great capture Cornelius!!!

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
Visiting a Dali exhibit is quite an event with his eccentric and unusual style of art. I have a photo of his likeness in wax from Madame Tussaud's in Amsterdam. I hope to share it with you one day. I do like this in B/W and as Sandi pointed out, it's perfect for the challenge and the "eyes" contest. Bravo Cornelius.

Smile, without a reason why. Love, as if you were a child, Smile, no matter what they tell you Don't listen to a word they say Cause life is beautiful that way. (From the film "Life Is Beautiful")
A funny one and ideal for wacky Wednesday Cornelius. Clear details here and it makes a great entry for the B/W challenge.

Mr C, I think it also looks like Vincent Price...lol. Good luck in the contest with it.

I might be tempted to say he looks just a wee bit crazy but, if you look through a collection of his works, many of his self portraits look just like this. Crazy but talented with a mind right out of Hieronymous Bosch's subconscious.

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.
Salvador Dali, een geweldige kunstenaar, maar zijn ogen staan hier op steeltjes.
Geef je niet veel kans in de 'Eye'contest, Cornelius, maar
wens je toch heel veel succes !
