.......Robert Charles John Manners, Lord Haddon, son of the 8th Duke of Rutland ......... who died at the young age of 9 in 1894. This Italian marble effigy lies within the Chapel which is the oldest building at Haddon Hall in Derbyshire, dating back to the mid 12th century! :O ...unbelievable that it is still standing! I will post some pictures of the inside of the Chapel at a later date - it is decorated with all kinds of fresco wall paintings which have now faded to almost invisible, but incredibly have stood the test of time.

To linger in the observation of things other than the self implies a profound conviction of their worth.

My comments will be hit and miss for the next month or so. I'm preparing to return to the U.S. on 1 Aug and will be on vacation until 20 Aug or so...I will be checking though and I look forward to your great shots! L8R...G8R
A truly wonderful work of art and a terrific photo. I can't imagine having a gift that would turn a marble block into this effigy. Thank you, so much, for sharing.

THE CAMERA'S ONLY JOB is to get out of the way of making photographs. It's entirely an artist's eye, patience, and skill that makes an image. ~Ken Rockwell VISIT MY GALLERY
A really nice fusion of photography and sculpture...great angle and very nice framing!!

As a wise man once said, "Wherever you go, there you are."
The details on this sculpture are amazing. It's so lifelike. This boy had such a patrician face. Your capture does justice to this fine work of art Patti. :)

Why do the pictures come out square when the lens is round?? Picture Purrrfect .
Nicely rendered Patti, with excellent light and shadows. Not sure about the frame, but this is very much a matter of individual taste.

"Imperfection is beauty; madness is genius & it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring. And when it comes down to it, I let them think what they want. If they care enough to bother with what I do, then I'm really better than them."--Marilyn Monroe
This is turning into a real interesting series Patti, it is great to get to see the insights here, insted of only the building outside. It is usualy not allowed to shoot images in those old places without a permit, so well done and congrats on this series.
