hstelljes 41 Posted June 9, 2015 Hmm, maybe he has placed a bet on the fight and his cock is not doing well, but seriously there is more to this than meets the eye PD. I'm curious to see other posters views.Best Regards, Holger Link to comment

maria 7 Posted June 10, 2015 would have called it only "the fight" maybe more suitable with the Roman statue ... Link to comment
hyde 0 Posted June 10, 2015 A masterly presentation of elements for our pondering. Best regards. Link to comment
Pierre Dumas 315 Posted June 10, 2015 Welcome and thank you, Colin! The observer is maybe confused, why you? Ha! Cheers PDE Link to comment
Pierre Dumas 315 Posted June 10, 2015 Thank you, Maria! Taking in consideration that the Roman statue is a fake one and more that it doesn't look like some kind of warrior I think the caption should stay! Cheers PDE Link to comment
Pierre Dumas 315 Posted June 10, 2015 Welcome and thank you, Jon! The observer also looks like pondering, ha! Therefore no need of pondering for the viewers! Cheers PDE Link to comment

tamaramar 0 Posted June 10, 2015 I am always amazed by your skills in photoshop and your creativity! Interesting to know how your thoughts flow ...:) Warm regards, Tamara Link to comment
Pierre Dumas 315 Posted June 11, 2015 Thank you miladies! I really enjoy your support! To tell you the truth, Tamara, my skills in Photoshop are only routine and don't know much about Photoshop in theory! And about my thoughts, nothing much to tell...maybe no much of thoughts, maybe I'm only being led by my aesthetic feelings and some logic! PDE Link to comment
Pierre Dumas 315 Posted June 11, 2015 No, sir, no cadavers here! Non e questo naturalezza morta, ma surreale! Ciao PDE P.S. Naturalezza morta = Still life Link to comment
FranzWeber 368 Posted June 11, 2015 He doesn't know which of the two cocks he should eat first. You can read that in his face. Link to comment
Pierre Dumas 315 Posted June 11, 2015 Judging by the suit and the facial expression SHE doesn't know which of the two cocks she should eat first! But, who knows, Romans were weird people at the time! For example every Emperor had an Empress behind him! They were the real masters and sometimes even killed their husbands (and vice versa)! Cheers to that, Herr Weber! PDE P.S. Example: Clavdivs was killed (poisoned) by his wife! Link to comment
Pierre Dumas 315 Posted June 11, 2015 Ha, davvero, non c'e niente! Mi scusi signore!CiaoPietro di Domani! Link to comment
michaellinder 16,613 Posted June 11, 2015 I see that you may have intended this image initially to serve as an homage to the ancient Greek philosophers. To me, this chap is the personification of Aristotle - clean shaven, of course. He is not just pondering the outcome of a potential cockfight. (If I remember Aristotle's work correctly, he would not describe this as an actual cockfight.) More importantly, he is wondering why the tree casts such a light shadow over the combatants. Lest you think this to be a trivial philosophical issue, like how many angels can sit on the head of a pin, think again. He really is trying to make sense out of the world. In that respect, you and he are much alike. My best always,michael Link to comment
FranzWeber 368 Posted June 11, 2015 Na gut, weil ich Dich mag PierrePeterPietroPjotrPietPitt. Link to comment
Pierre Dumas 315 Posted June 12, 2015 Welcome and thank you, Michael! You see, when I studied there was only one good philosophy, the Marxist! Other philosophers were only mentioned to point where they were wrong, so that I had no chance for acquaintance with Greek philosophers more closely! Now, when we overcame the socialism there is only one good philosophy, the Macedonian! IE, the authorities think that Aristotle was Macedonian educated in Greece! That's why his statue might be positioned in the center of the town!As far as I'm now acquainted with Aristotle I prefer the scientifically more justified approach of Democritus! PDE Link to comment
Pierre Dumas 315 Posted June 12, 2015 Happy to hear that, Herr Weber! I also mag you! You forgot Pedro, Petar, Petre, Petro...and maybe perro, ha! The last suits me most! Golem pozdrav Ppppppppppppppp... Link to comment
