A very good idea Don. Sounds like great fun, and a great way to learn. Hereby this picture is a WOW (I like the acronym, hope it makes it a "wow" picture) http://foto.no/cgi-bin/bildegalleri/vis_bilde.cgi?id=191903
You are probably right Don, this one is a hard nut to crack. The similarities in the tones in the statue and the man is what I like with the picture. That, and the similarities in the body language. He is a part of the statue, without really being it. A comment on my first attempt: To me, the sky is the main problem, its simply boring.
