it is pretty clever. i'll let it go. my thing against statues is that 
typically you're just photographing a thing that someone else toiled over. 
andreas seranno -- he made little plastic sculptures into andreas seranno 
photos. if you want to photograph a statue, make it into something that's 
says something about you and not about the statue -- (e.g. about light or 
technical perfection, etc) and this is not just a statue, it's a clever 
photo that has a statue in it. nicely done.
