Challenge 740: Statuesque
The town of Agüimes, nestled in the Gran Canaria mountains, is noted for its profusion of sculptures placed all around the streets.

I was particularly taken with this group in the main square - they look so lifelike.

Can you make them even more lifelike?

High res is here.

I don't expect any of you to follow my instructions. You rarely do.

A bit more lifelike? Perhaps, it's all in the eye of the beholder.

Re: Challenge 740: Statuesque
So amigos; my cunning plan ees quite simple. We leave our beloved sombreros behind and cover ourselves in bronze so that we look as eedeeotic as Trump's fake tan, we wear these stoopedo hats and then go to the gringos at the border. We tell them that we are from the government of Meheeco and we have decided to geeve them $5.7 billion for to start beelding their seely wall and we want to go to Washeengton to geeve the eediot Trump his money.

Then we all find good work and we save the Gringo economy from deesaster. Seemple

Apologies to those not familiar with the current politics in Trumpland.

Re: Challenge 740: Statuesque
Playing it straight for a change ... the sculptor had made them look quite generic so I thought I would give them a bit more individuality.

Apart from a nasty case of shingles, that's an impressive effort!
