I love that final tin man shot – a combination of sci-fi and tradition captured with intrigue.
I think sculptures are one of the hardest things to capture with real feeling – not quite the word I mean, but hard to make them different. You’ve done that well Cee

Lovely fairy statue with good details. It is difficult to bring a statue to life in just black and white and really depends on the quality of the photos in the first place.

What a great shot of the tinman. I would have went further away and it would have been a boring picture. You went close up and looked up and it’s a great shot. I have so much to learn but at least now I can see it. 🙂
