PJ, I like this alot (as in..gonna fave it...now). The perspective, composition, shadows,and lighting are superb. One slight detractor is the soft focus of the immediate foreground, but for me,it doesn't injure the shot as a whole. perhaps a slightly tighter aperture for future shots? ;-) nicely done.

I think I hear Zamfir type music coming from the flutes. Very nice, PJ. Great shadows with this also.

If you can't shoot it capture it.
I agree with the above, the soft lite and clean shadows makes this guy look real. Great shot, Thanks PJ!

Oh, for a minute I thought we were talking about Louis Armstrong. Great photo and perfect angle. It feels like it's looking right at me. Is it possessed? Nice posts today PJ.

Good one. Another lovely presentation on this one. The shadow play is excellent... but yes, I really MEAN that! I wish I had the know-how to do creative presentations like this... And lol about waiting! Had to give up entirely earlier today... (I can't imagine being a younger sibling and trying to go into the same artistic field... My older sister is very talented artistically but in completely different areas than me..)

I love the perspective you caught on this one PJ! The way it accentuates the length of the flutes gives such an artistic flare to this wonderful composition! Excellent! :)

Wonderful clarity on this one, PJ. I wonder if this is PAN. I will have to look this fellow up. I love the color tones in here.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.
- Hermes
Well done also Pat...gerry

Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.

I like the way you captured the statue somewhat in shadows, kind of like his life. Terrific capture.
