An interesting image/subject, indeed. The way the cut-off "feet" and the diagonal thru the main figure of the subject are placed takes something away from this, for me. The diagonal seems to confuse the subject and this pic could be more powerful with a different placement/crop, IMhO. Cheers, -mikey

Wierd wide angle and precise framing transform the Greek letter into a surreal animation standing on the edge of the frame. Very eye catching. -tv

Thanks Rod, Lydia, Penny and Sue.
Here goes the justification... PI is a real number wih infinitely long decimals... the keywords here are infinity and real. To me the irony here is that something thats real cannot be infinite... we are getting into gods country when we talk about infinity (endless).

Interesting and where in Doylestown is this taken at?

Pi is an irrational number, but why is that, in itself, ironic. I'm sure I must be missing something here. Please explain. Penny Street
