Yeah. If I had more time and leisure to think about it, I'm sure I would want to
spend some time there. A week or two. Or a month. Or maybe a year. Just taking a
deep breath (right - half a year to inhale, and another half to exhale), and
enjoying the peace of silence.

Serenity.

I definitely could need an overdose of that right now.

Great picture, calm atmosphere. But, to me, Lucy seems out of place. 
Maybe she is just too well known, or her perfect structure does not fit 
well with the weathered surrounding.

Maybe. I was originally going to try weathering her too (and I will, sometime
soon), but then I looked at the test renders and thought she looked fine as she
was. It's true to say, however, the she is the only pristine mesh in a scene
full of deformity... (maybe that's also symbolic of something or other?)

Actually, there's another reason to think of her as being out of place. In my
(limited) google-images research on stone columns, it seems that my columns are
closest to ancient South American constructions, possibly Mayan (deliberately so
- I liked the simplicity). This is definitely at odds with a Christian statue...
:-)


In any case, thanks for the comments everybody.

Bill
