The Big Guy

Apotheosis of St Louis 2015-08-23 1

This odd little event I've drawn from the last two days was right by the art museum and the grand statue of Louis IX. Haven't shot the big guy in a while. The light wasn't great but that's why we have Photomatix, Photoshop and all those other toys.

You know, it's a wonder the king doesn't have saddle sores by now. Or does he?

    He's looking dramatic in black and white!

    He tests his cutting-free gloves, of course.

    Saddle sores? He probably WAS a pain in the ass to many.

    I've spent most of my life in St. Louis and have seen the Big Guy maybe half a dozen times.

    Great job in photo editing. The shot is as sharp and dramatic as it should be!
