Lots of interesting small details in the photo when viewed large. One of those shots that would not work as well in colour.
I agree with Jhon for the B&W. Morris and Jones, the two preraphaelit english artists? I love their work!With the perspective and lines, the statue (and the man) seem impressive!
Such wonderful geometry in this shot. And I agree with the others, b&w is the right choice here.
A very interesting post: thanks for the image and the valuable information.
He may have earned a place in heaven just because of that then. ;)
Oh wow, that's a beautiful statue, I enlarged it to see the details, love the expressions.
