@quietpurplehaze Thank you Hazel I had to move him to one side of the shop window to avoid the reflection of street furniture in the window he didn't mind, I also asked him to make the famous victory sign and he was only to happy to do so, I thought it would help the shot:)

He really looks the part. I remember a very famous photo of Winston taken by Yousuf Karsh. Yousuf snatched the cigar out of Winston's mouth and captured the scowl perfectly. I think the photo was called The Roaring Lion.

@onewing Thank you Babs I know the one you mean, funnily enough the better one taken by Yousuf Karsh and the one Yousuf prefered was the next shot he took of Winston, same pose but with him smiling, wtb my shot of this Churchill has a flaw, Winston Churchill was left handed and always held his cigar in his left hand and did the sign with his right, lol:)
