Hmmm, I find the post a little feminine! But you took a fine shot!

Hi JM,
Thanks for the visit of my pose of langsat fruits.Uttaradit province in Thailand is known as largest producer of langsat fruits.The langsat festival is celebrated once a year in Uttaradit and is the biggest celebration.

A perfect shadow and I agree with Virginia, great pose too!

Unknown said...

Yes, the pose may look feminine (lol), but you have to remember that was the 18th century. Men had as much make-up as women did, used to have laces, cetins, brocades and velvets all over their bodies, high heels shoes and wigs too, so... :-)

Indeed ... . the pose is pure 18th century Dandy!
Love the double take of the shadow:
well done, as always ... JJJjj

The clarity of the shadow is wonderful. I like the moss(?) that is growing on one shoulder. Interestingly enough, it is the shoulder closest to the sun. I have bought a very small pottery shape of a woman that I want to scuff up a bit. I believe there is a garden chemical that will do that. Any idea what it might be called?

What a wonderful photograph, JM! A perfect composition only a pair of trained photographer's eyes could "see".

Wow! Perfect statue. Perfect shadow.

I love this one. He looks better sans lace, velvet and brocade (not to mention make-up).

I must say I know a few men who might like wigs to make a comeback, though.

Would have swore the statue was a female one if we had only seen the shadow!!
Nice statue.

Like the shadow shot!

I wonder what he's holding. We got lots of apples this fall but I'm not sure statues appreciate those.

Beautiful picture, I love the lights and the shadow, the pose... Such a fine shot!

Jill said...

Shadows are wonderful. Really adds to your photo.

"Oeiras Palace" made me curious and I went back to some of your previous posts. Something I obviously missed during my (too) short visits to Portugal! Maybe one day!

Love the light and shadow. I had an interesting depth of field as well.

This photo is really eye catching!
Both the color and the statue are great, but the... cubistic shadow is fantastic!
