A B&W conversion and square crop of this record photo that I took a while ago of Liverpool sculptor Arthur Dooley's statue "Christ Risen" which is in the city's modernist catholic cathedral: http://ianbramham.aminus3.com/image/2009-07-06.html
The crucifixion shadow that the statue leaves on the cathedral wall is obviously central to the artists intent yet I could find no images on line showing it like this. Even the 'official' photos don't show the statue in this way which is a shame: www.liverpoolmonuments.co.uk/dooley/christrc01.html
Like what you see here and are interested in photographic composition?.....the blog section of my website now has a complete set of 5 articles covering my personal approach to the subject: Ian Bramham Photography - Blog

@Alun: Thanks Alun!
@John Leech: Hi John,
With the original photo there's vitually no post processing and I was bewitched by the beauty of the golden light coming through the stained glass windows of the cathedral and falling acroos the statue. As you say, time has allowed me to see it in a more objective way and I'm sure the composition in relation to the all important shadow is stronger on this B&W version.
@Scene by Sharon Photography: Thanks Sharon!
