Explored! Thank you very much :-)

SATURDAY SELF-CHALLENGE
14 SEPTEMBER 2019
USE THE EDGE OF AN IMAGE TO "CUT" YOUR SUBJECT IN HALF

This sculpture is of Sir Thomas Gresham. It is one of some 16 sculptures in the 'Temple of British Worthies' in Stowe Landscape Gardens. Sir Thomas Gresham founded the Royal Exchange in the City of London. He was also known for 'Gresham's Law' (stated simply as: "Bad money drives out good")

I figured a proper eye was needed so I downloaded a Royalty Free eye from the Internet and pasted it into my image :-)

And, for 'Sight and Sound' "Half A Man" by Randy Newman seems appropriate :-)

This is wonderful, Roger! Nice job with the eye!

This is a new song to me and fits perfectly with the theme. It's funny but I am going to be posting a song by Randy Newman soon too. We seem to do this sometimes don't we? :))

c 'est bien vu, cet oeil qui semble revenu de tout. Peut-être avait-il compris que la fondation du Royal Exchange n 'allait pas rendre les hommes meilleurs ni plus heureux.

Yes, I agree re the Royal Exchange!!!

He looks tired. But that doesn't surprise me; because he's standing there for a long time - very long time.
A fabulous idea. Very well done, Roger
