The Kiss

My tribute to the 70th anniversary of V. J. Day
25 ft sculptures by Seward Johnson resembling a photograph "The Kiss" by Alfred Eisenstaedt, V–J day in Times Square in New York City, on August 14, 1945.
The Sculpture stands in Tuna Harbor Park, San Diego CA with the USS Midway in the background, look at the little girl playing on the plinth to get an idea of its size, the shot was taken whilst on a holiday trip to the west coast.

That is so amazing! First, I love the capture and having the little girl there does give you the perspective of the size of the statue and ship. Second, this same statue is on the harbor in Sarasota, FL. I'll have to travel up there one day and get it in my project. Well captured, Peter.

A neat tribute and good to have the little girl in the image to give it perspective.

What a fantastic sculpture. And it sure gives you a sense of the size with the little girl in the shot.

@susanalena Thanks Susan for your lovely comments, the sculpture was erected in San Diego in 2007 I understand there are a number of them dotted about in America:)

@dide Thank you so much for your comments Dianne, it was only by chance the little girl came to play on the plinth:)

@julzmaioro Thank you Julia, I was amazed at its size, had to take the shot when I saw the little girl:)
