Found this wooden statuary encased in thick protective pexiglass at a gastronomic haven in Quebec City.
Shot close up at f4 to give the illusion of motion.

Thanks Helen for your kind comments! That border cost me a about an hour's sleep. :) I hope I get some commission from McDonald's for all this advertising...

MFC, you spotted that special smile! When I worked there after school we were told to work hard and smile at the same time. Definitely a good work ethic. Thanks for all your comments! I'm glad everyone seemed to have as much fun as I did.

kt, I like the way you cropped this...my eyes are drawn to that pleasant smile, the spatula, and the burger. In this case it's really a "vegetarian" burger though :) I like the woody tones in the subject and the pleasing color of the background. The border is well conceived and executed. Good find...nice shot thru glass. MFC

Fun capture, k t. I too like the blur, making it look like he's working hard turning out Big Macs. Helen

Hi Deb, there were no signs on the display so I don't know who's the model but I assume it's just dedicated to all the hard working folks at McD. I used to be one of these guys, working part time during high school. It was a fun learning experience.

Thanks Katherine! You have a good eye, it is a big mac. One of the wood variety.

Cool shot - I like the blur that makes it look like he's busy making big macs!

kt, good find! The first time I looked at this image it didn't hit me that the frame is filled will McDonald M's! Very creative! Should we assume this is representing Ray Kroc(sp?), founder of Mc Donald's?---Deb
