Can't answer your question but I know that statues are wonderful subjects!

I think you captured it well. At a greater distance wouldn't you have lost a bit of detail? Looks good to me, nicely done.

Nice!

Clive, you're right about the longer lens from a longer distance. Moving the window off to the left so the arm goes away, the image sings. If you do what you propose, it will still sing with the arm in it.I don't know if I have told you lately just how fabulous a photographer you are. I really do stand in awe when looking at what you post.

Thanks for such kind words.
