All At Sea

The Crosby shore line in Liverpool is dotted with around a hundred of

these "Iron Men" by the artist Antony Gormley, They hold a fascination

for a lot of people including me, so armed with my camera, tripod, and

and a pair of wellies, I undertook to capture a few images at high tide, I

didn't expect the waves to be quite so high, and ended up with squelchy

wellies and wet trousers, but I'd do it again with no hesitation.

Any comments are very welcome , Thank you

Alf I must say this is one great shot.Not sure If you familiar with Robert Taylor or not ,but he does great paintings and drawings of WW2 aircraft and ships as well.take a look at some of his prints and you'll see your sky is a perfect match.

Very envious of this I must say !

 

Hi Bruce

First of all Thank You for your kind comments. Secondly, No I wasn't aware of Robert Taylors work but I was intrigued by your comments and made a point of looking up some of his work, and I must say Wow! What a great artist! I take your comparison as a great compliment. Thanks again Bruce!

 

Kind Regards

Hi Alf, the whole series is very interesting but this one is a true awesome masterpiece and one of the two ones I love more. I have no particular advices since it doesn't seem it can be improved.

Thank-you for sharing

You capture a perfect moment with lots of details in the water and sky, the Iron man is great. Artist, Cristo did a "Pink In The Bay" in Miami and I was very involved with it. Warm regards.

Beautiful capture; I have not heard of these iron men before but now that I have seen your wonderful photos of them I am adding this beach to one of those I must visit one day! I love the wave in the foreground and the glow of the sunset on the statue and sea; very well seen.

 

Another viewer mentioned Robert Taylor; I agree he is a very talented artist from England, and his skies are spectacular! I have met him twice and have collected some of his works for my son. Please do check him out!

 

Thank you for sharing! :)

Of all the iron-man images, this is the one that appeals to me the most: the golden color, the texture and character of the waves. before I read about the iron man, I knew there was something different about the man. In a 'previous life' I was an 'ocean person' and when wading into water with this amount of movement, usually my arms would not be at my side, rather, slightly outstretched to give me balance as the waves would tug at me. Lovely image and well done.

Intresting series but this one i love more than the others.

The wave in the foreground and the sunset is very beautiful.

Great picture.

This one makes me a little sad. It's as though he's waited so long for the return that the sea has grown around him.
