Admiring the Cheetah

Edinburgh

I had a few hours spare, waiting for my car to be serviced, so I wandered around the Annual Exhibition in the Royal Scottish Acadamy.
I liked some of the art, but a lot seemed to be pretentious rubbish, and certainly not a challenge to the likes of Rodin and Rembrandt showing in the adjacent Scottish National Gallery.
But I did enjoy people watching. This modern sculpture (made from coat hangers) of a cheetah by the Scottish artist David Mach seemed to capture the interest of most people.

Looks like this draws a lot of attention, but I draw my conclusion from your astute comment... V

Interesting presentation, well captured Bill, though I am not that thrilled with the impact...

An excellent sculpture...looks a bit scarey though!

Looks like my dogs after they tangled with a porcupine.

LOL @ Zak, apart from the spikes and the skateboard it looks pretty accurate

Wow, that is pretty... interesting, although don't think I'd want it in my house! I like that you got the people looking at and photographing it.
