Stitched statues, a photo from Quebec, Central

Photographer's Note

Just a bit of fun, these are known as The Illuminated Crowd, set in down town Montreal & sculpted by Richard Masson from polyester resin, It is located on McGill College (just above President Kennedy Ave.)
There are sixty-five figures in total, The Illuminated Crowd sends out a mix of messages which involve the truth, comedy and a sense of tragedy, you will see that the people near the front are overcome with joy and wonder, the middle section displays some people talking to one another and the back section of people are mixed with different emotions of good and bad.

Good evening Wilson,
The assembled compisition is very original, and shows your effort to describe this work in an interesting way. The result does not disappoint, in spite of perhaps a small lack of clearness. Nice idea, good work. Cheer.
Have a good evening
Cordially

Hi Wilson,

I like this montage of that sculpture - I must have missed it when visiting Montreal. I suppose one can't see everything in a few days, huh? I was busy eating most of the time, anyway.

I like how you show us these angles on it, it's almost three dimensional - I suppose if we printed it, cut it out and folded it together right it would be!

Have a great evening,
Reed

Nice photos, pleasing colour contrasts and the BG window framing makes a nice patterned backdrop for the statues. Well captured and presented. Thanks for sharing.

Hello Wilson,

An astonishing work-of art and a good photographic assembly for us to show it. Taking into account dimensions of the image you could have made a large version which would have made it possible to see more details on the characters who seem attractive in their respective expressions� But it does not matter the quality of the image here is good and enough fine to see the details. Well done Wilson and thank you for the note.

With all my friendships of sunny Versailles and an excellent day,

Jean-Charles

jhm (191315) 2010-06-29 2:34

emjleclercq (15778) 2010-06-30 14:20

An original idea for a stiching, which allows us to see the sculpture from three different points of view at the same time.

All the best,

dear Wilson,
your original cropping and stitching show me the impressive ambience of this amazing statues very well,
lots of people of statues look appealing and warning something significant to us all,
maybe it is common to works of Auguste Rodin,
thank you for your excellent picture,

Urs (14082) 2011-02-28 7:33

Hi Wilson

I never tried my hand on stitching and I never will, because I could not sell such stitched pictures to wire services, but your triple stitch is very innovative, I like it. It is different what I have seen before, it is original. Very good and precise photo job.

Warm regards
Urs

jmdias (91900) 2011-04-08 17:45
