Caressed

Snapped this one day on Mont-Royal. It's the base of a huge monument and this man climbed into the arms of the statue.

Où c'est à Montreal ???

Daniel SÃ©guin Salut Ivan, merci pour ta note! C'est la statue au bas du Mont-Royal, celle au tam-tam. ;)

Ivan Bui Merci pour l'info ! J'y vais dans 2 semaines donc j'y ferai un tour :) Encore bravo =)

Great photo,
you don't notice the statue first, and you don't think it plays much of a part in the whole picture, but really its awesome!

Daniel SÃ©guin Thanks Atrociouss One!

You are very enthusiastic about this, and not without reason, the photo is wonderful. I swear I fisrt thought that the man was posing for you, that you put him there. The fact that you didn't makes this even better - natural and inspiring in some way. Congratulations, an amazing work. :)

Daniel SÃ©guin Thanks Romanas. Ya, I was happy to have the quick trigger finger when he stepped into the statue's arms. I was almost like a media scrum - people whipping out their cameras to freeze the moment in time....

So glad you were there to see and capture this. Even without seeing the statues' faces, I can guess that his expression doesn't differ much from theirs.

Daniel SÃ©guin True about the expressions! It was quite a powerful scene.

fabulous contrast in color and "material" ;-) Love it.

Daniel SÃ©guin Heya Frank, Thanks for your note. Glad this one worked for you. Cheers,
Dan

very interesting.

Daniel SÃ©guin Cheers! An interesting choice by this young man to climb into the statue as well! I'd never seen it before and haven't seen it since...

J'aime beaucoup l'interaction entre le personnage et la sculpture : ça donne un autre sens à l'Å“uvre original et crée tout l'impact de cette photo. Bien vue!

Daniel SÃ©guin Salut Claude,
Fortement en accord!
Merci

Really edgy cool....love the drama and moodiness of the image! All the patina contrast beautifully with his skin. An image to remember ;)

Daniel Seguin Thanks Emily and THANKS for teaching a new word: "patina: a coating of various chemical compounds such as oxides or carbonates formed on the surface of metal during exposure to weathering." Sweet!

Emily Bem Ha ha!!! :))))))

Daniel SÃ©guin ;)

Stunning! Perhaps your defining image? Congrats on 3/3.

Daniel Seguin Cheers, mate! Ya, love this one... but recently gave my framed print to a friend. Had it up on my wall, he loved, so I happily handed it to him. Felt fabulous! ;)
