Artist's Comments

I got a shot of this from ground level... then had this crazy thought that if I climbed on top of this 4m high lion that I'd get an amazing angle. Well... I wasn't wrong... but I couldn't actually see what I was taking a photo of, and unfortunately couldn't select a point of focus and a wide aperture, so I've gaussian blurred the background a little to compensate for my inability to scale the head of the lion and take the shot as it should have been taken.
Not bad, considering I only took 1 shot and this is what I got.

I saved it till last, out of chronological order, because I bloody love it.

Taken on the way somewhere, St. Petersburg, Russia.

Thanks. I just wish I'd scaled to the lions head so I could have taken it and not had to do any post processing.

Maybe next time I'm in St Petersburg with Vincent? :P

Yeah... it makes me wish I'd moved to a position where I could actually see through the lens, but I'm happy I got this... my one shot wonder.
