I thought this one was pretty cool.

ETA something about this image.
That sculpture was done by Norman Walrath a.k.a. "Chiseler". He did it in Caniforny and it survived the quake. I lost touch with him several years ago, maybe he went back. The abberations you see in the picture are because it came from a webpage I wrote for him, and I used the trsansparency feature of the GIF format. The page used a stationary background and I didn't want the surrounding objects in the pic anyway.
That is actually a smaller version of Cupid and Psyche, originally carved by Anthony Canova a long time ago. In the smaller copy, Norm told me that the cloth covering the girl's hoohoo is so thin you can see light through it. He also informed me that it is anatomically correct. Butts and balls are visible from the back, and I think he said he endowed the winged Man quite handsomely :-)
