I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

These are startling images.
What an interesting face and shot :D
awesome pictures of awesome image. It looks so real.
He looks like the wind!
It looks so real caught there in the stone. Wonderful light and contrast.
How unsettling - was that the artist's aim. To make the viewer ponder the fate of a race in this image of beheading.
B&W makes this starkly impressive, Gemma. Your best, I think.
The sculptor has real ability - I feel the head will soon speak to me.
Very powerful photography Gemma.
that is so cool!!!!!
That's an excellent study of the sculpture and perfect for monochrome.
I really like the 2nd one.
There is a certain feel of promise in the sculpture, that will probably outlast Mankind, but I feel that the Aboriginals know of this and are waiting.

Very effective use of shadow - I like it very much.
Very interesting shot .. and the face is fascinating

That is amazingly lifelike! I had to look at the enlarged version of the first one to make sure they hadn't used a wig or something for the hair. Astonishing!
That's an incredible scuplture that seems to come alive as you closed in.
