I Do Love Watching Her Sketch

Six word story...spotted this unusual couple in the gardens of the Art Institute. She concentrated on her drawing, no matter how long and intently he stared at her. He seemed to be content with simply watching her.
There are others of his kind (his and hers) 'hanging out' in this garden as part of a sculpture exhibition -- I don't know if it's a permanent one or not...it wasn't there earlier this year.

He sits very well on the seat - wonder if he would shift along if asked nicely!

[Richard Hickey]

Awesome picture.

[bkb in the city]

Very cool

[Lisa Villella]

Great find! Nice B&W

[Sue Wilde]

I wonder how she feels about having a naked man looking over her shoulder. Great processing here

[sally agnew]

Wow, that is lovely and wonderful as a B&W image :)

[Mary Siegle]

I'm having a deja vu moment. Have you ever posted any other photo of this bench/art piece? In any case, nice shot!

[Kerri]

Awesome b&w

[julia]

I can think of 7 word story.... Life is like a box of chocolates ....

[Sally Ings]

Wonderful candid capture. I don't believe I could sit still for that length of time! I can barely manage 5 minutes.

[Kathleen Hickey]

Very well-told story! Most effective in b&w. It makes the differences in the characters more subtle.

[Taffy]

@mcsiegle I haven't, but I know that someone who has visited Chicago has posted one.

[KWind]

Wonderful! Love the composition and title.

[☯ Sarah ☁]

Fabulous shot and I love the title and story that goes along with it.

[Kane Arlow]

Lovely shot. The statue almost looks real.

[Eric di Bosco]

Great candid, Taffy. Excellent composition and processing. Looks like a scene where you could really take your time to get in the right viewpoint, compose properly etc. - seldom that one can do it in street photography!

[Richard Hickey]

Congratulations on making the Trending Page. Well deserved.

[Kristen]

Really great find!

[virtualbrownie]

Great find - I had to do a double take on this shot

[Tom]

Brilliant

[Jessica]

I think I saw someone else post a similar sculpture, where is this. I absolutely love it!

[Taffy]

@jess1204 It's in Chicago. I don't know if it's a permanent exhibit or not, as it hasn't been there a long time.

[M.C.Satin]

Fantastic capture. Your title gives the sculpture life. Like that there is no one else in frame. Their private moment

[Boxplayer]

Excellent find.

[Keri]

Great capture.

[Nina Ganci]

awesome capture/ Love this
