Great composition Alfredo I like the idea of your using the crystal ball for him to sit on.Well done

You will no doubt get a chuckles out of this. In North America this type of figurine is used by a pharmaceutical product called Robaxacet and it is for muscular aches and pains.

Clever and unique:) Great copycat pose, with a contemporary twist. Good POV/angle, and I like the shadow, too. Well done!

Alfredo,

Auguste Rodin is absolutely my favorite!! I love all of his works. His museum in Paris is wonderful with "the Thinker" in the garden. This photo made me smile! I like the angle of the thinker as well as the paperweight (?). Sharp image too.

Keep shooting those creative shots. Lisa

Hi Alfredo,
Nice recap of the thinker! Although he's supposed to be thinking seriously and all, he looks a bit funny to me just because he's the wooden man.
I like it, well done :)
