Aileron NT

"Aileron, north of Alice Springs in Anmatjere Country, is more than just a rest stop.

It is the home of the striking giant figure of the ‘Anmatjere Man’ - a sculpture by Mark Egan that stands at 17 metres high and weighs a massive 8 tonnes! "
However, this is not he, but a woman and child (and goanna) at the foot of the hill on which he stands. I didn't crop in at all to the sculpture as the surrounds are so much a part of the whole experience.

[Diana]

A stunning capture and great composition, love the surrounding area!

[Babs]

What a fabulous sculpture. The way you have cropped this really emphases the size of the sculpture fav

[bkb in the city]

Great sculpture

[Dione Giorgio]

Looks massive compared to the trees. I wouldn't have it cropped more than it is because the surrounding area is lovely and the trees give scale to the sculpture.

@onewing @sangwann thanks for the framing support, I should have been clearer in my language, I didn't crop at all. She was quite lovely as she was:)

[Faye Turner]

A well done sculpture.

[Pyrrhula]

Great capture of : ``art has no borders``

[Ann H. LeFevre]

She looks pretty tall herself. I think leaving her in the full setting as opposed to cropping in was a good idea. It gives perspective.

[Taffy]

What an incredible sculpture -- and the setting is quite striking too.

[Rick]

Very interesting sculpture. Great capture.

[Shutterbug]

I’m glad you didn’t crop in. The surround is a beautiful part of the experience.

Wow - that would be impressive to see. You need a person in the photo to put the size into perspective ...
