    A classic in Philly, well captured....When I took the same pic it was funny because the wind through away the water of the fontaine in the direction of this sculpture, so everybody was wet after take a picture-)
    At least it made laugh everybody....

    Interesting framing... like it's holding back the buildings.

  12. Slightlynorth (51 months ago | reply)

    Wow, this shot looks WAY wider than the 40mm focal length you actually used. I really love (ok, pun intended) the treatment as well. Well done!

    It always makes me think of the postage stamp that was made from the sculpture's image. Nicely done! I'm enjoying your trip!

    Girl, you take one of the most photographed structures in Philly, then add your touch, and WOW ----- new perspective . . . excellent shot and treatment . . . I love how it seems to be nestled/is being held by, the buildings . . . cool perspective.
