 This is a statue that I saw through the window of a deserted (out of business?) antique store in a nearly ghost town in central AZ. The statue is almost 5 feet tall, and, although you can not see it in this photo, his hat is also filled with French fries. I believe he originally belonged in a fast food restaurant.

I had never seen anything like this before in my life and I took a quick shot of him. I wish I could have moved to different angles and stuff. He shared the window with a life sized Elvis statue.

He is even funnier in a photo than he was in real life.

Love the colors and point of view here.
Wish I had something in the image to compare it to for scale though.

I don't quite get it, but it is a well executed picture.

Good color but the composure confuses at first glance. I wonder how a little less crop on the right might have helped.
