Photographer’s Note
What the hell is this? Well, it's a sculpture by Francisco Leiro, a Galician artist who has several works in my city. Today, instead of giving details about the sculpture, I'll propose a game: guess who/what it is, why he's there, what's he's doing... and I'll tell you the answer tomorrow. There'll be prizes for all those who give a (more or less) correct answer, but no googling is allowed, just your imagination!
I can add just one more thing about this: I find it really difficult to find a good angle to shoot the whole sculpture without a tree or a staircase poking out of his head or his arm or whatever. I don't know who decided the exact location, but it's really bad!
PP: Light and contrast adjusted with Camera Raw. I didn't add any saturation, just clarity and vibrance.
And now your turn to tell us what you think of the photo and of the sculpture. Cheers!

Hola Inés,
Pues allá voy yo. Hemos consensuado en familia que es un hombre nadando. Tiene la boca abierta y la cabeza ladeada en el momento de coger aire y por la derecha asoma el brazo con el que está dando la brazada. Está en Vigo y quizás cerca del Museo del Mar?.
Espero que mañana se resuelva el acertijo.
Un abrazo,
Mirari
