The GOMA Man

I loved this Gormley statue at the entrance to the National Gallery of Modern Art at Belford Road in Edinburgh.

I'm going to have difficulty going back to colour after a fun month in black and white!

A wonderful composition and capture. I am so looking forward to see more colour this month :-)

[Maggiemae]

Black and white tends to put things into the past. Colour makes them real.

[Kathy A]

Wow, that’s an interesting statue

[Wylie]

Its a very sombre statue. Good choice of POV

[Islandgirl]

Wow very cool statue and great pov!

[LManning (Laura)]

An impressive work. Great shot.

[Margo Sayer]

Splendid affirmation!

[Sally Ings]

What a powerful sculpture. The b&w enhances the mood. Super capture Issi

[Pat Knowles]

Well I never knew there was a Gormly statue in Edinburgh! The top half of the men on the beach in Crosby! Suits black& white as all your Edinburgh shots have been.

[Margaret Brown]

Weird to say the least but unusual

[Judith Johnson]

Interesting, he looks a bit stuck! I like some of Gormley's work

[Sarah Bremner]

Fascinating...is he a permanent feature I'm wondering. I think I need a trip to Edinburgh. It's been too long

[Shutterbug]

Interesting statue. I love your calendar. I can really see the themes in each column.

[Nova]

What an interesting statue, I'm sure he gets a lot of attention. :)

Great statue

[Maggiemae]

That strong fence so suits B&W and makes this poor man without legs even more uncomfortable!

[Issi Bannerman]

@happypat There are quite a few in Edinburgh. Six, I believe. Several in the Water of Leith and another down at the harbour. I didn't know about the one at the Modern Art Gallery though, so he was a new one on me, and is my favourite!

It's interesting to me that this one looks like it's emerging from water even though there is no water there! Good shot.
