Jimmi 2/3 [Monochrome]

As most folks know, Jimmi Hendrix is strongly associated with Seattle. Outside of the building on Capitol Hill that housed his studio there's a statue of him shredding on a guitar.

 

Today, that building houses an art supply store my wife frequents and I tried many times to capture a photo of the statue that I liked. But bad or poor light or heavy pedestrian or road traffic or both always interfered. While we were there back in the spring, I was standing outside pondering the statue and chatting with a friend when a cloud drifted over the sun and there was a break in traffic... I quickly stepped over and squeezed a series of shots. Looking at my cameras preview screen I was practically dancing right there because I was certain I'd finally nailed it. I was even more pleased when I got home and found that I had.

 

A slightly tighter crop in monochrome, I think this is my favorite version.
