Only a picture that supports your point of view?
Great Photoshop job. Yes this is the way to go. The vines completely distract the eye and you can't tell what they are unless looking closely. So in the end they will look like a blemish on the statue or a tattooed Superman. I get the Ivy connection but even in the comic the vines are loosely around him. Perhaps they could add a wire ivy vine that people could place around his neck but not sure anyone would. I posted comic pics on the prime 1 Superman Hush thread. The picture you posted looks great. No need for the vines at all. Frankly it's egregious to consider it. This is a phenomenal Superman please please consider the majority of views on this are negative in terms of keeping them. For those who like it, not sure why, perhaps Prime 1 could sell them solo portraits or include one with the Ivy statue as mentioned by many others ie scarecrow.
