      This is amazing! I may never attempt a snowman again, knowing how completely outclassed I am! Super photo, which that bright blue splash of jacket in the foreground and the person to give perspective.

      Excellent composition (I wonder how long you may have waited to get the person in the pic) and the human element gives the true dimensions of the sculpture.

      Spectacular Chris, cool how you've shown the scale of the sculpture, and also like the perspective in that the human seems to counter the direction of the sculpted faces are facing towards.
