Some time ago a twelve year old grandson, produced for a present a statue that he had made and had titled 'The big hug'. The challenge was to photograph it to its best advantage.
The first photo shows the proportions of the statue when compared with some wall tiles, it being about 15" or 38cm tall. This is where it resides, in the kitchen in full permanent view, and it gives a nice huggy feel about it.

But how about in the open air, with the view looking up at it, rather then looking slightly down at it - how would it look then?
Well, the following is the result of this exercise, and it has transformed the basic likable statue into something that looks very enthusiastic about giving someone a hug, and a big one at that. It is looking expectant for something special. It now looks more exciting!

Isn't it amazing how a varied viewpoint can make so much enormous difference to the feel of the picture! And the statue could be any size now!
