In Middelburg, Walcheren in Holland you a have little art monument standing on the market in the center. Fantastic to see. They look like big houses but in fact they are only a few centimeters tall. I'm happy with this shot, it's even hanging in my office.
TECH-INFO: shot with my Minolta F100 a few years ago. The 35mm equivalent of the focal length is 114mm. I don't remember if I used the macro mode. In Photoshop I enhanced the contrast a bit and removed a bunch of little disturbing spots and highlights with the spot healing tool. Finally I added a small vignette. The version hanging in my office is without these improvements.

Very cool. Dallas and Memphis has similar public art, or at least the idea is similar. The look is unique with each of them.
I like the way you shot and processed this.
LightningPaul: Many thanks. From time to time you see such things on the street (if you seek well), but these ones have lots of texture. Mostly the surfaces are very smooth and without any character.
Nice shot well spotted! Loving the detail. Would quite like to see a black and white version too!
LightningPaul: Many thanks. There is so little color in this one that it would probably look very similar. There are a few rusty places which yield a nice dark red color.
