Workers UNITE by Jono Slack

this scarecrow, in it's heroic mode, reminded me rather of those old Soviet and Chinese posters.

Olympus E-10
1/500s f/4.0 at 9.0mm iso80 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Thanks for the comments - I've spent so much time working on this image (taken with my E10 as a jpg made the conversion really difficult). I also got very muddy getting low enough for the angle!
This guy reappeared for about 3 years, but was never in such a heroic mode again.
kind regards jono

Jono,
I am afraid this guy is about to take over the world. At least it would in my son's books. Great shot! The perspective, clouds, exposure and all is great. thanks, John

LOL Bryce, we've all got Jono adulation fatigue ;-) He's incapable of producing a bad shot. i agree this is stunning.
Flick.

How could no one have commented on this image yet? It's great! The pose is truly heroic, but it's as much the perspective you chose that does it as anything else. Thanks for sharing this great image. --Bryce
