This statue was in front of the ARTCURIAL (Centre D'Art Contemporain) Library, and I have to admit I forgot to make a note of the artist. If anyone reading this knows this work please drop me a line (contacts@sci.fi). Anyway, this colorful and crazy guy standing there was begging to be photographed. I took the photo handheld in a very odd position on my knees. I tried to get the face captured in a right light and show some french balconies in the background. The spots pointing to the statue were very bright, so I had to tolerate with some overblown highlights in order to get a good exposure and still show the background as well.
