Thinking of Roses

This thoughtful fellow sits in front of the Norton Simon Museum, and is directly across the street from yesterday's shot.
Not sure if he's pondering the problems of the world, or simply anticipating the HUGE crowds that will soon converge on our town.

Heheh awesome shot! I love the title as well :) Great lighting shining off his burley muscles :) Super job my dear!

Composed beautifully with the branch behind him and the sun shining nicely on him.

@kbalychev
Thank you. I've had this guy on my list of subjects for a while and after yesterday's shot, I thought he would make a perfect companion piece, hence the title. ;-)
He is pretty muscley, isn't he?


@grammyn
Thank you, I shot him from several angles and this one won out, with a little cropping.

@pasadenarose A little more to the rear (no pun intended.........well, maybe) might have been a GREAT shot!

[PasadenaRose]

@grammyn
I would have LOVED to get a rear view, but he's behind a fence. I was standing on the sidewalk. :-(

Rodin would be proud of him! Well caught

@pasadenarose darn!

[Meredith Jones]

Guess he will have a good seat for the parade. Great shot.

[KAL]

Nice perspective and lighting. He may be thinking about getting up and joining the crowds.

[michelle mcintyre]

Haha Nice shot - am enjoying the comments!!

[Paul Myers]

He's probably thinking, "Neener, neener, neener. I have the best seat in the house for the parade."

[Janelle]

Probably thinking both haha. Great shot!!
