Struggling with the concept of pleine aire.

GaoXiguo. I like your imagining here. As I read you give very good wishes to Steve, including wishing Chinese Traditional Chinese God of Imortality to support him. Does he undestand it? I was going to try something a bit Chinese + Western, but it will be different of course. I may later with some adaptation. (I study Chinese and travel there many times)

Michael, to me your composite of Steve looks perfect on my screen.

A man of many parts indeed! Modest too, you'd think this would be mentioned in the "about the author" bit.

Brilliant if scary!
Why is that bloke in the nudd - and what happened to his head ?

Our gallant fighter is probably in the nudd because 1) he forgot to put on his trousers in the rush to get to the front 2) the sculptor ran out of material to make some 3) he was 'stoned' again.
Also he hasn't lost his head. He is gazing at Steve's fifty year old finely chiselled features.

Ah now I see his head - I had mistaken it for a bit of drapery belonging to the bloke behind

Bit of silliness from me. (And not meant as an insult to anybody's religious tendencies!)
They do say that with age comes wisdom, and in light of all his achievements, I can see Steve as the next Confucius.
(Please note, this is a result of me skiving quickly in work, and I accept no responsibility for Steve not liking his beard or wishing for a longer one. And if he mentions shadows, perspective, lighting or anything else, Mr. Caplin won't see 51.

)

Steve Caplin Him Say.... Man Who Start Save Now For Photoshop CS415 Probably Much Foresighted.

... Would this come under the banner of "defacing statues"?
