Paimpont 2018: Day 139 - Stony Stare

A stone carving hanging on the east end wall of our house... I like to photograph this at least once a year to show how erosion is slowly changing his features - and to find different ways of capturing it.

More contrast viewed on black...

There's such a strong sense of pathos in this sculpture. It makes me wonder what the backstory is. Technically wonderful, as always.

[Maggiemae]

He has an unusual face! Not very European, I would think! And a sad expression!

[FBailey]

Hauntingly sad. Great texture.

His downturned mouth and eyes give his face a poignant look. Nice textures, composition

A nice image

[Delwyn Barnett]

A strong sculpture with such a pensive look. Great in black and white. I love the angle and the light.

[Walks @ 7]

What a gift to have such a marvelous work of art at home. The tones and patina give this figure true strength of character. The DoF is wonderful.

[Jacqueline]

You captured his sad look very well.

[Margo Sayer]

Watchman.

[Mek]

Most intriguing statue.

[KoalaGardens🐨]

I love the weathering on it!

[Debs Stott]

He looks melancholy... great in b&w

[Joan Robillard]

Reminds me of a friend who has had several skin cancer spots removed from his nose

[Paul]

Excellent!

[Joanne Diochon]

Beautiful play of light across the face adds a feeling of life and emotion to the stone image.

[Jocasta]

Wonderful textures as it erodes. FAV

[Desi]

He does look rather sad. You've used the light well to showcase the wonderful textures

[DoY]

I've never noticed him!
