The Iron Men of Crosby

Over the years Anthony Gormley’s “Another Place” has turned into a bit of a cliche. Take his Ironmen, add sunset, bit of HDR and tada. I’ve done it. Most people on Flickr have. This photo hasn’t had HDR applied but its a bit of a cliche. How can I be sure? Well both Brian and Sam took almost the same photo as I did while we were there. There goes my unique take on it ;)

  • Hi Pete,

    I've seen dozens of photos of the statues, but I didn't think about them when I saw this (or the other two you've linked to either, which I've just viewed); it's a very good photograph, simple as. Most of the people that have stood in the same place won't have come up with anything as good - they're the ones with the cliched photos of Another Place - not you.

    Cheers. Not dropped by here for a while and it's looking good.

    Lovely sky - I do think Brian's is the best of the three though.
  • I love how the rays of sun are so visible. And the B&W works really well. Outstanding photo!
  • Debby
    Love the sun rays
  • LOL!!@Ian

    Great shot though. Stunning.
  • Great contrast ! Very beautiful image nicely composed !
  • fantastic light and details .... !
  • Cliche or not: This is outstanding!
  • What an amazing photo. I love this one.
  • You could be unique by getting Antony's name correct :)
    Still a great picture - cliche or not
