 As if he was sinking, the boatman appears to be looking to the wreath as a lifesaver. Shot in downtown Knoxville, TN.

Thanks Craig. The area was surrounded by bldgs on 3 sides, and a parking lot on the other, so it was a little difficult to get a better angle. Here's the outake that showed just a little different composure:

Very cool sculpture, nice image. I don't really like the bottom of the boat being cut off, and the angle makes the doors look crooked which draws my attention away from the subject.
