The Trophy Namesake

Uploaded: February 03, 2008

Description


What better posting on this SUPERBOWL SUNDAY than an image of Vince Lombardi, the guy they named the trophy after. This lifelike statue stands on the grounds outside Lambeau Field. I thought this photo opportunity in the snow with the icicles offered a bit of "Ice Bowl" flavor to the image.

The only edits I did here were to crop & bump the saturation a bit in PS.

Congrats to the NY Giants on an awesome upset win!

Is it possible to have "eye contact" with a statue?

It is possible to have eye contact and you got just the right angle to capture it. -Fellow Cheesehead, Packer fan, and Grandfather of a little guy named Brett, Paul #846175

He is the GOD of Wisconsin with Brett Favre running a close second.
Wonderful detail and POV on Vince.
Here is hoping we go all the way next year.
