Day 20~ Manneken Pis
Today's subject is a golf ball that my daughter and son-in-law sent to my husband last year. The logo on the ball is somewhat of a legend and national mascot for Brussels, his name is Manneken Pis. Manneken Pis is the focal point of much folklore and he is the center of attention in the Grande Place in Brussels, so much so that there are an entire array of costumes an souvenirs dedicated to this little man. If you want to learn more about this little man see the attached link http://www.trabel.com/brussel/brussel-manneken.htm.
Rick and I actually had the opportunity to visit the home of the Manneken Pis last summer when we went to Europe, I was amazed at the amount of conversation, merchandise and general story telling this little guy generates.

Good focus, bad flash. Don't get me wrong I am not saying to never use the flash but sometimes it's better not to, see how it hits the golf ball and the bottle right at the center. Using a slow shutter speed here would have given you more ambient light.
