Description
This striking and compelling image close up of the eyes of a statue dedicated to St. Joseph
Catholic Church a gift by a parishioner. The statue along with other images taken of St. Joseph Church titled the Feast Day of St. Joseph The image was taken of the statue which is located outside in the garden to St. Joseph Church, the statue is a stone statue on a pedestal, there is no definition of eyes in the statue yet after viewing when I returned home to view the images taken of the alter dedicated to the Feast Day of St. Joseph did I discover the haunting realistic eyes of the statue. The right eye appears to reflect light as a real pupil would along with detail of the iris of the eye. The image will be presented to church for viewing and review......
Photographer notes update, the compelling realistic eyes with in the hollow socket of the marble statue was created by a tiny garden spider and created webbing in the eye scoket statue which traveled down behind the statue on a palm leaf frond. Upon enlarging the image to highest ratio the tiny white line to the left of the photo by the eye is a spiders webbing and along with the spun web in the hollow eye socket of the marble statue creates a compelling and haunting image......
