10.01 Bernini's elephant

Since I got some film processed, I guess you will need to scroll a selection of frames freshly scanned!
This is a little elephant sculpted by Bernini to decorate the square in front of Santa Maria della Minerva, close to the Pantheon. What's fun is that the elephant is showing his b-side to the Art Academy, whose office were on the same square at Bernini's times.
cool composition and POV

I like your composition here - it adds lots of dynamic tension to the image.

What a cool sculpture! I really like how you captured the full tower at the very corner of the frame.

Mr. Bernini's commentary on the Art Academy? Do truly like the pov.

@lynnz thank you!
@vignouse not to say that with a 50 mm, it was the only way to get the obelisk I n the frame! Thank you!
@overalvandaan I think he’s laughing about those he’s showing his butt... and oh yes the sky was pure blue!
@cjphoto thank you, Chris! It was a balancing act...
@kwind thank you, unique indeed!
@888rachel lots of tourists were laughing at my contortions... thank you!
@joysabin exactly so! Thank you!
@blueberry1222 believe me, “la grande bellezza” is a big cheat, it’s as beautiful as difficult...

I first thought how unfair to let the elephant carry such a weight. But look at the face, he is smiling.
