[QUOTE="DragonflyWink, post: 3176308, member: 111"]Sorry, not really seeing perfection, just my personal opinion of course, but you asked... For me, the ornate frame on the plaque distracts from the subject, but as someone who has spent a lot of time around horses, the horse is unattractive to my eye anyway, with the head so deeply detailed it borders on skeletal, and the body is just so wrong, almost appearing to be gathered ruffles of flesh - but the bridle is pretty well-done. The Crucifix does little for me either, not seeing any great quality, wonder about the holes going up from Christ's navel to the sternum, which seems, strangely, to have been fileted, and am finding myself oddly transfixed by the weird shaped, seemingly mismatched nipples - but do like the wood texture on the cross. ~Cheryl[/QUOTE]
