Angel
That poor angel seems to have some sort of skin condition (or, stone condition?), doesn’t she? It looks itchy to me, and I hope it doesn’t distract her too much from her important job there at the cemetery.

Love the dramatic quality of this image… and the angelic bottom too!

Thanks, John. I like the non-symmetrical wings best.

Perfect DOF here – any more and the shot would not have been as effective.

Interesting that so much detail was given to the shape of her bottom and yet her wings are barely formed. ☺️

I guess it’s harder to sculpt from imagination?

Beautiful shot, so well composed and dof-ed(if thats a word?)
Greetings, Ron

Thanks, Ron. I think if “dof-ed” isn’t a word, it ought to be!

She looks like she wants to fly away, but can’t.

That wing on the right, that’s attached to the headstone, makes it hard to achieve lift-off, I guess.

From the back it is hard to imagine a human face on that head – it could just as easily be canine. Must be the haircut. Though when I first saw the picture I wondered if it was a badly sculpted bird of prey. I guess I was only half wrong – the bird of prey half.

A canine face would have been sort of horror-movie-ish, I think…

Are angels girls in the US and other places? they belong to the masculine gender in Italian… weirdness of speech and culture ! the way this one sits it looks like HE is getting ready to jump into flight… yes, ‘putty’ too are grammatically masculine, and so was Eros their ancestor. You took an interesting photo from various points of view – including the dermatological…

Vera, I think in English, angels are generally referred to as feminine. In this case, his/her hands were delicately positioned in a way to make the question impossible to answer!
