This is sooo cool, Katarina!! I love how the statues are seeminly interacting with the model! One looks like he is pointing to her and the other looks like he's bowing to her. Great eye as always! If BP doesn't like this, I can't understand why!!! I would certainly re-submit! My fav too! #7495633Jean E. Hildebrant May 08, 2009
