I'm just a poor boy

And finally from my photowalk with Junko @jyokota (Junko, please note the tag, it says Rome 2018... which means waiting for the next!), a photo of the famous Boxer sung by Simon and Garfunkel... LOL, jokes apart, I love this statue, it is bronze, a Roman copy of an original Greek, and the amount of details, the profound attention of the sculptor to the subject (the scars, the broken nose, the apparel...) never cease to amaze me. Not easy to make it justice.
Nice shot

Wow, what a shot, it stopped me in my tracks. The image is dramatic, thought-provoking and artistic. The contrast is amazing, I really like the way you've darkened the peripery to highlight the sculpture even more.

@domenicododaro I love Silver Efex and am looking forward to DxO refreshing the Nik Suite after Google abandoned it. But I understand that DxO's in a bit of financial bother so have my fingers crossed they come through.

Great capture. I too love this statue, it has emotional impact.

@golftragic insofar they don’t discontinue it and Adobe continue to support it as a plug-in, I’m happy!
@stiggle thank you! It’s oke of my favorite Roman works of art!

I finally found some time to review all the photos of yours that I have missed. This sculpture is so very striking.

@blueberry1222 I appreciate so much you find time to brows my posts. I have been so discontinuous lately and I am mass-uploading taking advantage of this part-business part-leisure travel and the long not sleeping nights due to the jet lag... Thank you very much!
