Whilst waiting for a bus (I think we've heard that one somewhere before) in Blackburn, I found myself a shady seat under the cathedral trees, looking across the boulevard, this well known statue was placed against the wall of one of the slot arcades across the way, now most people get their shots from close too the sculpture, and I've often wondered if their was another take to be had, something a little different, well it presented itself this afternoon, and no I wasn't looking for it, I just saw it, a composition that made use of the street furniture around it.

Had to use the long end of the zoom lens, the full 18x zoom, the trick was whilst holding the camera steady, I had to shoot between passing cars and pedestrians which were abundant, took five shots and missed the passing traffic on every one of the pictures, this is the best.

There is quite a story in that statue.  Well done getting the longer look at it.  Good picture.

Very nice. That picture has a lot of depth.

Great picture.  So lifelike, too.  How often I have been in the same situation with one of my children.  :)
