statuesque

[Scurra]

Hey folks, I have something to post again... finally.

I was out taking photos of the chinese new year celebrations in London yesterday... (the 230 photos i still have to sort through) and I took a snap of a statue in a fountain in trafalgar square..

I showed it to Arty and he suggested I made it balck and white, so here we have both versions so that you can give me your thoughts.

black and white is much moe striking ... I like it! :mrgreen:

Thanks Jen, It seems arty was right....:thumbup:

I also like the b/w version more, more emphasis on the statue itself.

A "colour fan" speaking here, saying: Black and white is ever so much better for this photo!
Who is he?
Why's he fighting to hard against the fish?

the statue depicts power and imo the b&w conveys it more adequately! nice pic! :thumbup:

 

[sarakay]

my vote goes to B&W

I think the cntours on the statues back show more in the B&W and I think they look great... but what initially caught my attention was that the statue was so blue... argh I'm torn

Scurra, I would still like to know who the figure represents? Is it a fairy tale character, or why is he fighting so hard against all those fish?

Sorry LaFoto i'm not sure what it represents, I can't seem to find anything on the web either... It seems people rather focus on nelson's column and the other more well known statues in the area.

That is in LONDON?
I would never have expected a statue like this there!
Well, thanks for looking.
And again: thanks for sharing.
