Guildhall Statue by phil_howcroft

Guildhall Statue

This is a statue that sits above the entrance to the Nottingham Guildhall

Not a lot to say about it really, the lady is a bit dirty and grubby. It must be years of pollution from the traffic lanes that she overlooks.

Post processed in GIMP : Autolevels, straightened the horizontals, added a G'MIC film emulation of a Fuji Astia 100F (whatever one of them was !)


Very cool shot

@happypat i did think about my words when I wrote them Pat and the 'grubby and dirty' did seem a bit harsh, but I don't doubt she has been called far worse things than that and she can't see my 365 :)

@butterfingers1960 ahh louise, I am very PC and I do think she doesn't really mind because it is , well it is an accurate description of her. I will be the first to take her pic again if she gets a clean up :)

@swilde thank you very much sue :)

@megmills i never thought about her being hand carved Meg, you are probably correct :)

@kerristephens cheers kerri
