The title of this blog comes from a Gaelic expression -"putting on the poor mouth"-which means to exaggerate the direness of one's situation in order to gain time or favour from creditors.
I like the statue though I have to admit that the pupil-less eyes that are reminiscent of Roman art creeps me out a bit. Don't you think that better defined eyes would have made the statue more appealing and added some soul?
I love the lighting on these two pictures.

ReplyDeleteI have photographed it a few times and I've found it a great subject - easy to get a good pic

ReplyDeleteUt certainly would have humanised it a bit but still it is a statue a really do like. I'm going to miss it when it goes later on this month
