There was another image from “The best of …” series last week that really caught my attention.  It is by Andy Rain of the EPA and shows an auctioneer for Christie’s posing with the “adamantium” claws worn by Hugh Jackman’s in his role as the Wolverine in the X-Men: The Last Stand film. The image is both amusing and just a bit creepy.  In my mind, I think that its power comes from the dichotomy between the demure look of the pretty auctioneer and her delicate necklace set against the viciousness of the claws themselves.  Then too there is the gesture of peaceful submission of supplication (so too the downward almost eyes closed glance), the arms crossed and held to the chest, which again contrasts with the metallic aggressiveness.
