Thanks for the PH bling and comments. To jjbeguin, it was not staged. It was rush hour with quite a few people out on the streets. I was out looking for images for the Flare and jjbeguin themes (my Flare entry was taken about 30 feet from this spot). This gentleman stopped to admire the sculpture for a few moments. His crossed legs caught my eye. Looks like I should have cropped some of the bottom -- thanks for the suggestion.

Superb image, Mark (8 from me). I love the old fashioned and leisurely appearance of your time traveler. I'm with Don thinking that this centered composition adds to the impact.
I beg to differ. Tilting the camera differently, which is what jj suggested, might have worked or might not. Cropping out the bottom will only diminish this photo.
A grand classic revisited, fun and fetching. the dead center character is perfect there. A slight tilt up to get a little less pavement and a little more of this chicagoan massacre on top would not change much but would fit everything a little more neatly in the frame.
A great shot in any case. Was this staged?
