Two statues at the Quai Branly Museum (Musee du Quai Branly) in Paris, France.

One of them does look like a statue, but I have some reservations about the other.
On the other hand I am not really up to date on modern art

Eric,
I can't react to this until I know if the motionless figure on the right is a bored "guard" or a statue representing a bored guard. Which is it, please.

The fella on the right doesn't seem too excited to be there. Judging from his laminate, I'm guessing he's a tour guide of sorts. His body language and expresson say, "Oh boy. Same tour. Same speil. I gotta find something more exciting to do."

That's an easy judgment to make though. I could be worlds apart from the reality.
Technically speaking, I like the image a bit more when I scroll to lose the top part. It detracts more than it adds, in my opinion.
Always a pleasure to view your work, Eric.

Both figures are scary, and the guy on the right is scarier. well done Eric.

It looks like the one on the left didn't use a training Bra, things have certainly headed south

Thank you for the comments and suggestions Lazlo, Charlie, Tim, Tim, and Ray.

@Charlie
Art is always up to the viewer to decide

@Tim
Cool commentary. I think I'll try cropping out that top part and see how it works out.

Perhaps.
But my quandary is this: If the figure on the right is a really clever statue, then kudus to the sculptor. If it's a bored employee, then kudus to the photographer
