Unusual angle making an excellent shot. I hope you are planning an exhibition of your statues series at some point.
Best wishes, Kris.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

What a successful image, Paul. Wouldn't have worked half an hour earlier or later.
I had great fun at the weekend photographing the statues and memorials in and around Coventry Cathedral. It could become addictive!

Exhibition? Chance would be a fine thing, Kris.
At the moment i'm just trying to amass a lot of images for the project, once i'm happy with the amount of images i've produced then i'll sit down and sort out the best. After that i'll have a go at using BlurbBooks to publish 'em.
There are some photos i'd like to re-take and do again, 'St Paul's' is one.
Cheers anyway, Kris.

It is a nice thing to do, not only do you get a picture but you end up a little wiser about things.
Laurence happened to be my thousandth posting on here!

I think this is a great shot. Without knowing who the memorial is for it still stands on merit as a well captured shadow - the sword lends an air of menace which appeals to me. Nice one Pauly!

Very nice Pauly! The sword is great, and perfect timing to get a recognisable shadow.

One thing I really like about your images Paul is you try and look outside of the box and look for a different shot rather than go for the cliche head on aproach

Thanks again Gareth, for that recognition.
