Nicely composed shot with such great textures of the sand and sea.

I never knew there was one like this here. Is it connected to the one in Copenhagen? As Sally says an evocative image. @hermann

Nice composition. She looks freezing but thoughtful. I have never seen this statue. Must check it out sometime.

[Tina]

Composition is great, but where is she looking at 🙄

[FBailey]

@Cherrill I don't think she's connected. she was one of the artworks for a previous Folkestone Triennial and the sculptor used one of the local ladies as the model. She's made of bronze and has a beautiful coat of verdigris. @gijsje

[FBailey]

@ivan I must say I've never seen her from the front! On 18 January I posted one of her sideways on whuch will give you some idea. She's positioned on a layer of rocks and I guess by the time I get down to the beach the lure of the sea distracts me! Must try to get one of her, thanks for the idea:)

[FBailey]

@tstb13 It's not too clear from this picture but She's gazing out to sea beyond the harbour arm. Looking east where the sun has just come up!

[Ivan]

@fbailey She looks likely to lure some male...bit like the Lorelei statue!

[Ivan]

@fbailey Just looked at 18/1 image...nice detail. :) Don't get wet, trying to get full frontal. :)

[tony gig]

Wonderful capture...Fav

[FBailey]

@ivan You do make me smile!!

[Mud]

Reminds me of some old Greek painting. Fav

[Islandgirl]

Great composition............I had to look twice...........thought it was a person!

[Pyrrhula]

Great beach and beautiful statue.
(@fbailey I guest you can but it`s not allowed.)

[diane b]

Love the sunlit outline of the sillouette

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Such a wistful gaze- this is so well-suited for black and white. Beautiful shot.

[Dione Giorgio]

Fabulous shot and composition. Fav.

[Richard Sayer]

Your composition is unconventional... but perfect for this image - well done Felicity.
