Fat wax man at museum k

This is a wax statue in a museum in Washington DC. Because of low

lighting, and the fact that the museum has a guard protecting this

statue I wasn't allowed to use a tripod, so I layed on the floor,

with the camera on the floor and took the shot. I was for a bit as

much a spectacle as the wax man, but I like the shot I got from it.

Hi Jennifer. I'm really glad you posted this. I was in Cyprus last year and I saw a documentary that included this statue but it was in Italian, translated to Greek and I couldn't understand any of it:) It's a striking statue and I've wondered about its location as recently as yesterday! I think you took the shot from a good angle with a nice crop. Did you take any others that show the scale of the statue?

Thanks,

but none with any reference, I had seen tons of pictures using flash, and they just didn't do this fella any good at all, so this was what I came up with.

Dia dhuit Jennifer, You're a very wicked lady to be posting shots like this...but

I just love it....it appeals to my quirky Irish sense of humour!!! His name is probably Morgan, spelled with a large M and a small ORGAN (geddit). (Apologies to any others with this monicker).

Slan....FRANK.

It is very brave to post a picture of your naked husband on the net, but that's cool. Great picture.

i like the perspective here. those feet are amazing, so much detail in the skin.

 

alternately, if you were into photoshop wizardry, when i first saw this shot my first thought was that it would make a great portrait of a cyclops. there is something 'epic' about this shot.

Like it very, very much!!!

This shot has real impact. The angle and framing is perfect for this subject.

LOL....you've made my day, thanks so much for sharing this funny pic, really great!!! regards bianka

the angle is superb.

EXCELLENT IMAGE

perfect composition. You were probably lucky the model wouldn;t move too much ;-)

 

Wow , wonderful , good idea , congratulations

Veramente speciale,complimenti !! ciao Paul

Great perspective.
