Hello Bev,
I bet there are lots of Selfies taken near the Kelpies. ;-) They really look marvellous from this distance, and probably from any distances and angle. The young man, maybe inspecting his selfies, is perfectly placed in the foreground, and with his dark clothes he also provides a perfect contrast to the silvery statues. He makes me disregard the fairly dull foreground. A very nice photo in the WS too, much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Gert

my guide didn't want to stop here, I guess he hated the sculpture (you can see the replica in Edinburgh! he said).I was frustrated and took some distorted images from the window. excellent angle mixing the sculpture with the boy in FG. very well done.

take care

Hello Beverley,
Amazing how big are those two horses heads, we get good scale on the WS and with this main picture sight.
Exceptional clear shot on the outcome.
Wish you a nice weekend,
Ike

Hello Beverley,
A great shot of this enormous work of art. I saw John's photo as well some time ago. Too bad it's wasn't there yet when I was in Falkirk. I'd have loved to visit it. The silver colours stand out so well from the grey sky. The man was well included in the foreground too.

PS - I did have a Guinness in the Irish pub in Portland, although a day later, when it was my birthday. Guinness is in fact the only kind of beer I like.

Hi Bev
Oh man, you're killing me here with these subjects! I know John recently posted a photo or two from here, and it was an impressive one at that. SO jealous :) I wish I was here too.
So just like in your previous series, we see the 'walking up to it' view first haha. Why not right? looks fine to me, and I like that you added in this guy here, in a casual manner. I would have waited for him to pass, just goes to show this is just as good if not better. great to see everyone in the WS too! excellent post. cheers

Hello Bev,

Sorry, but we've been a bit busy these last few days and I've only now come across this delightful pair of photos!

This is a lovely view of the Kelpies as we approached them and you have very cleverly included the anonymous phone-clutching young man to add human interest, break up the foreground and also provide a good indicator of scale.

The grey sky might not be that appealing but it does bring out the brightness of those magnificent stainless steel clad sculptures very well.

A fine composition with soft light, true colours, perfect exposure and excellent detail and sharpness.

Excellent!

Kind Regards,

John.

P.S. And a rather nice workshop photo too - it's nice to see these informal group shots of TE meetings! :)

Hello Bev, I like this view of the Kelpies from a distance but you could easily guess, I like the Workshop picture more :0. How nice mini TE-meeting you had there. An interesting note about this subject.

Kind regards MAlgo
