I agree. A real sense of the occasion--and the reaction. Which is understable, I suppose.
I am so glad you value my comments. I always enjoy your work and look forward to seeing new examples. The very first is my absolute favourite! Your own comment on my "Interlude" was right on the mark. You are the only one to comment on that head... I wished I could have removed it, but now I am happy to leave it there, telling its story.
And the conversation piece? Yes, I saw the woman and her child, noticed the two statues looking down on her, and took my shot as fast as I have ever done anything! She was already moving out of the picture...
