I had to look up the definition of sculpture and there are a few variations but basically sculpture is the creation of a three-dimensional piece of art using any material. So a nice broad subject that ranges from from statues to a decorative flower pot. So, for this month, I'm sure you can find a few sculptures in your files, around the house or on the road that will work well in black and white. Here are a couple of examples - first the Dancing Hares - a 15ft high large sculpture currently at Wisley gardens in the UK. I took the shot into the sun so somewhat of a silhouette although I did try to bring some of the texture on the hares. The second is a 6in high small ceramic bird (a fantail) that sits in a cupboard at home and came from New Zealand although I took the shot today. The original is quite colourful but I thought I see how it looked in B&W which puts more emphasis on the shape rather than the colour.   Looking forward to seeing your B&W sculptures Tony |

Sculpture is a great subject for black and white. Thanks for the definition as to what we could consider as that's something that has confused me in the past. A quick run through my LR catalog and I came up with these. The first was taken at Grounds For Sculpture here in NJ.  This one was taken at Duke Farms.  |

In 2016, I made a few small garden inukshuks. Used the wrong adhesive and this one fell apart after one year.  |

Here's one from this morning at the Scandinavian Heritage Foundation. That's neat Bill. How high is the figure? 20 feet or so? |

That's neat Bill. How high is the figure? 20 feet or so? Thanks Clive. Ole Bolle is maybe a little less than that. The doorway into the house is pretty close to standard human scale. |

This is in the National Memorial Arboretum Westonbirt in the Cotswolds. I assume carved from a tree trunk.  |

That looks like an award-winning image to me, PeteB . Hope you have that framed and hanging. |
