This is so hideous and amazingly cool at the same time, I have already spent a long time examining this photo trying to see how it was accomplished. I so wish that I could see it in person. Lucky you!
And it's a great shot of the sculpture too--Thank you

The four sculptures really are quite amazing, and turning Arcimboldo's paintings into three dimensions is a feat for sure. I hope the photo conveys a sense of the size of it too, as they are all about 20 feet high. Yes I feel very fortunate to have seen them all at RHS Harlow Carr.
