We have a diverse set of pictures of statues this week. It will be tough to pick one. So you'll get to pick two! :) The voting will be in 2 groups, and you have one vote for each group.

Please vote for the best picture depicting a statue (or more).

Integral's picture isn't showing up for me...
 
Some time the server that's hosting the photo isn't responding. Either do a Refresh/Reload, or wait a few mins.

Yeah, the link is broken in the original thread too. :frown: Fortunately, I remember seeing it before and know what the statue was, so can make my decision anyway. I think some of the photo sharing sites have gotten too popular, and can't keep up with the traffic.

As much as I like the actual statues/art that was captured for some of these photos, I think it's Alex_Caps' photo I like...the angle and composition are nice, and it's all in focus too (some are just a bit out-of-focus, or have glare that makes it hard to appreciate).
 
5. fi is just too funny!

Where in the world did you find those porcelain figurines?

Thanks, and thanks 0Theswerve0 too.
I found the sculpture, by Liu Jianhua, while admiring a collection of fairly witty and risque contemporary Chinese art in Hong Kong.
