You've GOT to be Kidding!, a photo from Alaska, West

Photographer's Note

Another example of Tlingit totemic artistry, found at Saxman Totem Pole Park. It's the best example I have found on the subject of "tongue-in-cheek," art, or perhaps I should say "fist-in-mouth" art. I'm sorry I don't know more about the story behind this piece, but I do love the humor portrayed.

Dear Judy,

Your picture shows true art which is BTW very impressive. I like it a lot. It's something you do not see often. Thanks for sharing it. Your colors and contrast are vibrant, it's very sharp & crisp and DOF is excellent. Congrats.

Best regards
Urs

An amusing photo of Tlingit art. A good composition, excellent control of light, beautiful and crisp colours and good contrast. The oerfect sharpness allows one to admire all the textures of the woodwork. Congratulations!
