Marilyn Monroe in the Windy City

this is my version of the newest attraction in the city of Chicago, the Marilyn Monroe statue with a little bit of a twist...i have noticed that this statue is always packed with tourists so i went to the city this morning a little early to shoot this scene and hoped to avoid the crowds...i was pretty glad to see that there was still no big crowds milling about Big Marilyn...in this shot, i was so happy with my granite bench reflection shot of the skyline from the other day that i decided to apply the same technique in this instance as well...there were numerous granite benches/planters around the courtyard so i looked for a good spot, comped the frame and placed my camera on the surface and clicked hoping for the best...happy to say that i was really elated with the result that i almost did the dance of joy in public....hope you guys enjoy this one as much as i do...pls.
