adam, thanks for adding me to your friends list. your pictures of new orleans bring back many fun memories. it's good to see that you're recording all that life and its amazing sculptures.
Wonderful composition and angle, and I have to agree with the last comment, amazing how much sadness this image gives off. A combination of the eye, the colour of the cold stone, really great, Cheers Mel.
A very unusual angle that surprisingly gives additional mood to this picture. At first I feels the narrow depth of field was a mistake, but however, that narrow DOF gives the dimension! Also, I feel emotional and sadness from the statue, from this photo. I don't have any idea how did you come with this concept... Congrats!
