Cheers Zastrow!

good job.
you can take a picture on the eyes?
those made by high crush cavalllo and looks small

 

[Dan Morton]

Jai - I have no idea what "high crush cavallo and looks small" means, but, using Photoshop, I've managed a close-up of one of Rafa's excellent photos. In this close-up, the head is at least double actual size, so you should be able to make out the eyes. In my opinion, the eyes look exactly the right size for the rest of the head, but then I have the benefit of having the figure in front of me. I hope to have this piece and three others in Chicago at MMSI next weekend.

All the best,
Dan

sorry I do not speak English so I make mistakes in writing.

I say. take pictures as if you were in front of a true knight.


photos that you have made are made from above and it seems the smallest horse, crushed ... I do not know if I explained now

 

[Dan Morton]

Your English is much better than my Italian, Jai! You are right the photo that I used was taken from slightly above the figure looking down. Since Rafa furnished the photos and they were all so good, I'm reluctant to take more with my camera. My camera won't have the resolution to allow me to increase the size of the head and present a clear image. I think I follow what you meant. Basically you were trying to say that the eyes looked too small for the head. I assure you they do not when you view them without the problems of photography.

All the best,
Dan
