    Oh…my…. Lord!!!! This is sensational….. so moving, so touching….. your treatment is exquisite!!

  • hsien-ku replied

    thankyou Rosemary. Went to visit a friend today in the Friedhof III cemetery in Berlin and couldn’t resist stopping to photograph this sorrowful lady (despite the tiny pangs of superstition!).

    what a wonderful statue.. love the way you’ve composed the shot. The lighting is great!

    This is wonderful, I love how dark it is and how the ray of light hits her. So Beautiful….

  • hsien-ku replied

    thanks very much Shelly – I was lucky with the light yesterday afternoon and she was so striking I couldn’t resist taking her photograph!

  • Andrew  Makowiecki

    A really beautiful image Judith. I love the tones and light on the statue. She is so forlorn, maybe the light is hope.

    How this pic affects me changes all the time when I contemplate the pic. A few minutes ago she was forlorn, now I see her as peaceful.

    This type of ambiguity is something I value very highly. A masterful work.

  • hsien-ku replied

    thank you very much Andrew- what a wonderful observation. I had seen her as a magdalene-figure – redeemed by sorrow – but you are right, now that I look again, she is peaceful too. very kind of you to comment.

  • lianne

    This is just the most evocative image – your treatment adding to the feeling of sorrow that weighs so heavily on her. Truly stunning – poetry in an image.

  • hsien-ku replied

    she is truly full of sorrow – the sorrow of stone – immortally so. thankyou for seeing that in her. isn’t it strange that sometimes sadness and beauty are indistinguishable one from the other?
