Hejo,
Witam na TE.
Niesamowite ujęcie niesamowitej rzeźby. WB chyba troszkę za zimny ale mnie tam nie było, więc nie wiem na 100%...
Tak czy owak - zdjęcie robi wrażenie.
Pozdrawiam!

Hello Karen,
What an astonishing piece of work. Although magnificently sculpted and possessing dynamic balance, I cannot believe that it is just the balance!?! If I were creating this work (I wish I could), I would make the right leg, below the thigh, out of lead, and everything above it, hollow fiberglass. That way, even if the wind or another sudden jolt knocked it over, the bottom heavy feature would immediately right it. In any event, it is a fabulous statue, and I am glad you shared it with us. It is an excellent photograph, and note. The subdued light suppresses the high contrast resulting from direct sunlight.
Welcome to Trekearth.
