Interesting sculpture. From the right view, it's a beautiful face.

But, move a few feet to the right, and the face disappears.

How big is the sculpture. It's hard for me to get a sense of scale with just your photo.

But still, it's a very cool image.

Probably about 15 feet? Don't remember exactly, but It was at least twice as tall as me.

*Edit: Ok, I might be wrong at that looking back at the pictures. The last picture shows the back doors, and the locks are proabably what, 3 feet or so off the ground, which is about at the chin. So probably 6-7 feet. It's huge in my mind :)

Is that a doorframe in the photo?

Cool subject. It would be fun to try different lighting techniques on it with the design.

Yep, it's a door. They have a large outdoor area that is a sculpture garden outside, and this sculpture is right next to the door. Had to decide if I wanted people in the shot or the door :)
