As you say, iconic. Nicely taken and processed.
 
I like the shot but IMO there's way too much haloing around Eric and the pillars at the top of the steps. Possibly a touch too much sharpening after resizing.
 
Where do you live Dave :exit:

iconic indeed, I like the low viewpoint.

I knew where it was straight away.
B & W works well.
 
Great compostition and suits the mono treatment.
 
good B/W processing Dave. It's not rubbish.
He was one of the best.
 
Well composed, I thought it was going to be a real person before I saw it was Eric Morecambe.
Haloing around the statue jumped out to me too, but only detracts if you zoom in.

Ta - pixel peeping is the spawn of the devil haha!!!
 
Great shot Dave, really like how you've processed it. The b&w suits it well.
 
Nice mono conversion, the lighter plaques either side are a bit distracting (to me)
 
Lovely viewpoint and framing Dave. The black and white processing really works a treat.
 
Definitely iconic, Pete. We sometimes visit Morecambe if we're early for the Heysham boat and it's a real feature of the seafront. Love your choice of B&W for this and your composition to include the foreground details. Good luck with your 52.
 
Works really well in mono and you've captured a lovely tonal range. Great shot.

I've seen the statue before, but personally never seen this viewpoint. So for me it really works.

Nice start to your 52 Dave. Nice composition and view point for Your Area and well thought out shot for Incomplete.

Thanks Lee :)
 
Area:

Great shot. Black and white gives it far more than colour could. The first ever photo I got in my local paper's photography group page was of Eric's statue. It's a great subject.

Incomplete:

Assuming it's not posed, this is a great capture and a fantastic take on the subject.
