Observing from Chester, United Kingdom
What an amazing image Michael, the statues left and right are different, wonder what it was all about? It's an incredible crisp image.

@Observing: Thanks, Mike. Perhaps something from mythology. I'm amazed at the amount of workmanship in these statues.
Koushiro~光子郎 from Singapore, Singapore

Lorraine from Gatineau, Canada
Show off(s) no wonder the lady in the middle is screaming lol FANTASTIC, love this compo, what art, didn't mean to laugh at them, they are a work of art (sadistic, but still art) ;)
22 May 2008 10:50am
@Lorraine: I think they would be pretty well irreplaceable these days. They are humorous. Thank you, Lorraine.
Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States
Quite interesting; at first glance the differences are not as obvious as the similarities. But with a closer look, the different noses and expressions begin to emerge, and that face in the middle becomes a major part of this visual composition. I like this.
22 May 2008 10:55am
@Viewfinder: Thank you, VF. Yes, the screamer in the middle is definitely a major part.
Michael Rawluk from Prince George, Canada
Terrific shot. I love the tones.
The faces are so different. They are beautiful portraits.

22 May 2008 11:39am
@paulski: Many thanks, Paulski.
Tracey from White Hall, United States
Great shot Michael. Good thing those guys are so strong...looks like a heavy building to hold up for all of eternity! :0p I am just glad the sculptor stopped where he did instead of sculpting any further down!!! The one on the right looks meaner!
22 May 2008 12:15pm
@Tracey: Meaner or just having a harder time lifting. Thank you, Tracey.
@MJ: Thanks so much, MJ.

armin آرمين from Berlin, Germany
perfect hit (capture & tilte;-) ... you can show with few images more facets of a place. what other writing books (mostly sucks!) ...great!
22 May 2008 2:58pm
@armin آرمين: Thank you, Armin. I appreciate your visit.
Evelyne Dubos from Le Mans, France
Les 3 expressions sont différentes mais celle du milieu exprime la souffrance... peut-être que ces statues se rapportent à une histoire. Verra-t-on la maison en entier, elle doit avoir beaucoup de style ?
22 May 2008 4:28pm
@Evelyne Dubos: Merci, Evelyne. Malheureusement, je n'ai pas d'autre photos de la maison.

vu@granby - Gilles Martineau from Granby, Québec, Canada
Bonne perspective. Capture de la photo d'un angle qui dramatise la figurine centrale tout en laissant la figurine de droite plus joyeuse (éclairée). Bravo!

Japanalia from Yokohama, Japan
There was a time when being fat was no problem! Nowadays it is close to anathema!
I like the way you chose the angle here and the tonality!In spite of the Screamer, the fellow on the left is smiling!

@Japanalia: A great comment. Thank you, Gabriela.
@martie: Thanks for commenting, Martie.
