It's kind of witty, esepcially with the jacket highlight looking slightly like a cigar(ette) in the statue's mouth, and where IS the statue's hand?!!

Not sure whether I like it or not, or whether I think it's good or not, but it's witty.

If the statue is of Oscar Wilde - then the hand is entirely appropriate!

Seamus, your 'statues' are becoming my cars; be careful!

I like the shot, Seamus, but I'm not thrilled about the way the statue's lower lip intersects the guy's hood. A very small clone job would fix that.

Thanks for that, guys.

Russ: y'know, something was bothering me about this and I couldn't put my finger on it exactly until you obliged with your usual eagle eye for the detail. It's like being in the forest -  sometimes you can't see the trees.

Rob: Be afraid - I have an even worse thing about bikes.

Good clone job, Seamus. I like it even better now. The disconnect between the guy leaning away to take a deep drag on his cigarette, and the "I don't give a damn" expression on the statue gives the shot some serious ambiguity. Good street.
