hi Axel.. they must be related? great capture and tone as well.. samme

This is somewhat humorous to me, because it is uncanny how much the man and the sculpture resemble each other.

the confrontation is as obvious as it is striking with humorous overtones. With the academic connotations in the background this man seems to fit perfectly in these surroundings. It's a funny confrontation but also an effective photo. However, without trying to change your photo I wonder if a crop and a conversion wouldn;t be as least as effective?

You nailed it - I have been sitting in front of it like a blind dug - I saw this image has a power - but was not able to see that a square crop would solve my problem with the right 'light'-box! 

In that case I'm glad that I asked for critique and you opened my view. Sometimes obvious things can not be seen...

Second, the BW conversion - this is also so obvious, that I wonder that I did not even think on it - why? I don't know, but lately I did a lot in color, this may switched off my thoughts on BW.

Thank you a lot. I'll rework it now. I will leave this here as reminder to myself, but upload the version you suggested in the BW folder.

Regards Axel
