Oh, great shot, Tom! What an interesting looking sculpture!
Thanks for stopping by and for your kind comments! Always appreciated!
Have a great day!

I love this one. A great shadow shot.
This is great! The shadows create an even more eye-catching moment!
The shadows soften his glare, deleting any anger in his eyes. Almost human in form, the shadows add character lines to thi sgentleman...
Interesting sculpture and the shadows make it even more so!
i love sculpture shadow shots...great example..
what a characterful sculpture!
I love it. That is exactly the kind of thing I would love to photograph. Wonderful SS entry!
Fun play of shadows on a very cool sculpture, don't know 'bout you, but I'm stopped dead in my tracks when interesting shadows cross my path, how fun to share with others!
Whoa! That is a super sculpture! Your shadowy capture of it is amazing! I'm imaginging that there is a body belonging to the head still buried below and is about to crawl out! Now that would be a sight to see!
Thanks for your elepant joke. Was very cute!
This is amazing sculpture. Looking scary but looking great too. Imagine how this head stands up there. Where's the body & legs? I'm imagining that the legs are enormous too.
My fav so far this week SSS-
Job well done.
The egghead sculpture
with mouth poised to speak, gulps down
shadows for word-strength.
My Shadow Shot
I like this shadowy giant head. Your title made me think of a giant Humpty Dumpty.
The sculpture makes an interesting canvas for capturing shadows.
That sculpture looks like he might have a LOT to say ... but I'm sure he would love your shadow shot too!
