Hi Robbie,
Very good photos mate.
No1 is both my most a least favorite, theres something a little erie about it I think. its a little scary and moody.
I do like the light in the marble on the fourth version as well
Regards

Good set.
No.3 for me, has a really nice quality to it (and slightly sinister).

There is a lovely quality in these images, serene and timeless.
Best regards, John

No. 4 is my favorite...the light brings an almost translucent feeling to the statues features

No 4 is my favourite too, for the same reason as jospan states.
A gold star (or 2) to the gallery for letting you a) take photos and b) use a tripod.

Thanks for the comments folks .
1 and 4 are of ‘Puck’, the mischievous sprite of Shakespeare’s ‘A Midsummer Nights Dream’ by Harriet Hosmer (1859) - you can just see the wee devilish horns here.
This was so much a hit it brought her over $30000 - a fortune in the mid nineteenth century.
I'm always blown away at how they can reproduce the human form from inside their head into a block of marble so magnificently.
What I really like about the Walker gallery is everything is within reach, you can touch and feel the art, you feel so much closer to the artist - well I do anyway .

Lovely pictures indeed. The Walker is one of my favourite galleries but it must be one of the darkest galleries in the country! I dont know if you were lucky or I've just been incredibly unlucky when I've been there.

Cheers Ken.
The windows in the sculpture gallery are ESEasterlie facing, so I went early morning. I actually thought about this the day before and planned the trip. This is something I wouldn't have done a few months back, I'd have just turned up but thanks to the advice on this forum and reading up a bit I'm thinking that bit more and (hopefully) making better pictures.
Took me a long, long time but finally realised like most things in life it pays to give it some thought.
