Another wax figure that you could see inside Louis Tussaud's Waxworks in San Antonio, Texas. Thank you very much for viewing.

    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    Hi, I agree with Tom on this one. Your processing is spot on - very effective - great composition as well.

    Cheers, Richard.

    I echo all the above--very powerful image and superbly handled by you. I've never been to the wax museum here but now I must go--without my camera since I could not duplicate your work here. I will just go and appreciate the sculptures. :D

    Awww, c'mon. You know that we are all unique in the way we perceive things. Go bring your camera and I'm pretty sure you'll have a blast trying to get a good shot with all those "orangey" tungsten lights they have. rolleyes1.gifthumb.gif
