 I saw a man puzzling about this sculpture of King Lear and snapped it fast. It worked better in B&W than in the original color. I enhanced light and contrast and sharpened the picture in Photoshop. One has to hope that this man has a better relationship with his (hypothetical) daughters than the old king.
But then why did he linger so long with this piece of sculpture?

Not sure if this is posed or candid, however the lean of the gentlemen really sets off this picture in my eyes. It reminds me of a dog when you talk to him/her and their ears perk up and the head tilts. Good shot (6)

I'm not sure whether I got this one right. Here's my interpretation: That figure's an oracle, and the situation is funny because the guy asked who can tell him who he is instead of asking the oracle about his identity right away.
I have a feeling I got it completely wrong, though.

I love this shot. The posture and positioning of the man and the creature do make it look like they are in deep conversation. Great range of values. The subject's white hair acts as an excellent contrast to the darkness of the creature. That white hair, for some reason, makes the shot transcend for me.

This is definitely one of the weird entries of the bunch! Nice sharpness and tonal range.
