Description
John Cain (born 26 April 1931), Australian Labor Party politician, was the 41st Premier of Victoria, holding office from 1982 to 1990. What caught my eye with this statue was that someone had put a cigarette butt in between his fingers! I used a wide aperture (f2) to emphasis it. As a non-smoker, this kind of turned my stomach a little! LOL
If you zoom in you can even make out a spider's web in between his fingers.
Here is a pic (not mine) of the real guy for a base of reference.

Great capture! that would have stopped me as well!
Lol and he cannot even remove the ciggarette. I wonder if he was a smoker?
Yeah I wondered that too!
He probably 'kissed' ALOT o' BUTTS to GET elected so someone figured he may as well SMOKE one, too? WINK. GREAT shot!
Very cool shot, and well seen
He looks like a typical Labour Man. Fine photo!! 11+
cool!! i love this image!! :)
As an ex-smoker it turns my tum too! What a super bit of modelling, I love it when you can still see the clay in the casting.
The F2 really puts the emphasis on the hand.
Great use of DOF - I see a fly on the butt too! Clive
lol
Lol, great find!!
A cool shot indeed. Superb!
hey this is a beauty
The artist did a superb likeness. Tell him no smoking on public grounds:)
That is very cool.
Yes, but does this mean he'll get a ticket for smoking in a public park? Very funny and a nice catch.
Funny catch Andrew! I gave them up - March 1964. Dana
