António Pires from Lisbon, Portugal
Good image, well processed. With the photographer's phobia of present time it's a luck that someone hadn't forbidden the statue from taking photos.

vu@granby - Wolfgang from Granby, Québec, Canada
Who is the victim? Nice shot...
PS: You are not only a good photographer and writer, but also a real language sleuth. You understood what I wanted to say yesterday even though I made terrible spelling mistakes. I don't know what happened...

@vu@granby - Wolfgang: I think here the victim is imaginary. I didn't notice any spelling mistakes. Thanks for the great comment, Wolfgang.

Very good Michael, unusual theme for a statue, having said that, in the UK we have cameras on EVERY street corner. Not as nice as your of course.

Paparazzi... Do they take there pictures to post everywhere and slap in magazines? Or is for their love of photography? Love the statue and the picture, great shot!
