Minotaur

I can't deny how much I enjoy going out sometimes to shoot on the street with no other plan that catching a trophy. Patience usually pays off. This time the prey was a Minotaur.

Impressive catch Ruben. However, a bit unclear how it fits together. I keep on looking at it in the hoop that I'll eventually get it, lol.

Can't see it? It's there, really, not emperor's clothes here LOL! Look close into the bull's silhouette, right above its front legs there's a person passing by. The left leg of the person matches the leg of the bull.

Ruben,

The Minotaur I saw immediately, just didn't know how you caught him! Was this a reflection in a window?

Oh, now I think that's what Cem meant. The bull figure is in a shop window, behind there are two large glasses (framed prints) reflecting the bright sunlight coming from the windows in the building across the street. The dark tone of the bull reveals the reflections on the front glass of the shop window: the sidewalk, the street and the sidewalk across the street. This was taken with a 50mm macro, the lens is almost touching the glass (the bull is just a few inches away) and the focus was placed more or less on the reflections inside the bull.
