Sphinx

Another one I took on holiday in Egypt a couple of months ago. Despite being part of the last remaining 'seven wonders of the world', she sadly isn't much to look at any more:

The nose has apparently been deliberately removed. This does have some Egyptian significance - can't remember what it is, though.

Ct could fix that in PS though :lol: Excellent shot mate nicely framed too I like it very much but could do with levels or something again.

It's much too light as Ken says, if you drop the levels you'll bring out all that lovely texture in the stone. Thanks Ken but...

A man's just got to know his limitations.

Just to wander aimlessly back on topic

It's better but it needs to just go darker really. With all that lovely detail and the play of light and shadow I'd go for b&w though.
