The Angel of the North

Photographers Comments
Sculpture by Antony Gormley; same guy who did the male sculptures on Crosby beach. Left people in give sense of size

Bit dark for me Len.
Really is a stunning sculpture though.

Hi Len, just something i knew, if i had never been up A1 wouldnt have a clue. have just tried the following after Anns comments. Selected the angel did curves adjustment to lighten, seleced the sky did curves again to darken slightly, did filter>other>high pass .9px then overlay to sharpen edges a tad. Only slight adjustments nothing drastic.

Hi Bev and Else; Thanks for looking, believeit or not but this was the first time I've been to the angel it's even more spectacular when you are stood at the feet looking up.

Hi Len ...... it's a big, bold, impressive piece of sculpture and you have captured it in a way that shows this off well. The figures give a great sense of scale. The sky is great and just a pity you weren't blessed with a bit of sunlight on the angel itself that would really have made it stand out well against the sky and brought out those lovely copper/brown/rust colours that I know are in there (but you can’t control that).

Good solid image
