Entry: Monument to Peter the Great - Moscow - A28910694
Author: Psycorp Six-Oh-Three - What are YOU writing? - U219983

My second for November, inspired by a conversation with B'el and the result of 30 minutes work.

If anyone would like to see a picture (hopefully the entry itself will have one in time), there are two to be found on page 3 of this: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=38760&l=db725&id=279200088

Cheers, Psyc.

We should talk more often, if that inspires you to write entries.

I stand by what I said: I don't find it hideous at all - not from the photo, at least.
Nice entry, want to know the mistakes I found?

Come on then, let's get it over with!

Don't worry, I probably missed most because it's late and I'm tired.



>>it is not the statues size,<< statue's
>> Russian Navy. in 1998 Costing a reputed 11 << Navy in 1998. Costing...

>>life sized frigate << life-sized


>> the Great Monument has been a fantastic << ...had been...

Changes made.

Then you'll have to wait for the others to comment now.

That'll have to wait until tomorrow, as I'm going to watch Predator in bed. I've earned it!

Predator? Well, if you say so...
Goodnight.

Very nice entry you have there Psycorp

All I could spot was "talents", house style is 'talents' I believe.


Isn't beauty in the eye of the beholder Bel.

Sorted!

Nice entry!

You mention the cost in two places. I'd just mention it once.

Do we say "Princess DIana" or should it be "Diana, Princess of Wales"? I'm not sure. (The statue looks like a bloke in drag, in my opinion)

Can you explain VVTs (in a footnote, maybe)

Icy

I'm not sure how worthwhile this Entry is without a picture of the monument, and the pictures you have provided do not really do it justice.

There's quite a good one on the artist's website, but I assume that may raise a copyright question.

I'll make the changes suggested on my break.

The Beeb must had some good ones in the archives

Does anyone know where to look?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/in_pictures/4749612.stm Picture 8

Is the only BBC picture I can find.

The Editors can search the Beeb archives, but they seem to have only a limited selection available to them. They can't even use pictures that were featured on other BBC websites.

That's weird. It's a bit intricate for a Community Artist to tackle, isn't it.

What's the concensus then? Nice entry, no real point?

If you can find a page on the artist's website that you can post a link directly to, then you can put that link in your entry. You can say somthing like:

To see it in all its hideousness, go to the artist's website.

Simple enough solution! I'll sort it at one-ish!
