badstarI just came across this blog entry :

And in the entry, this picture:

This is interesting. The first thing that struck me about this picture was the face on the statue. I can't remember the last time I've seen a face n a statue that looked so genuinely human (to me anyway)
The second was the body- very real. I looked at the picture for a minute, expecting it to start moving. Alas, jpegs do not move :-P
The other thing, the one thing that keeps this from being an absolutely astounding statue in my eyes is that the head and body are so out of proportion with each other, the head is so tiny. Also, the angle makes it look like it was photoshopped in.
Wonder what Hermes thinks of it? :-P
