a 366 photo challenge for 2012 - I have joined the friendly crowd at Elements Village on the web and have decided to start at 'A' and follow the 366 themes daily - I like the idea that I will need to take (or make) images that will stretch my skills and imagination - and if I throw in a few extras just for fun - forgive me - OK? Trying to stay focused for a whole year will be a challenge in itself - wish me luck and come and visit anytime...

January 23 - Blessing
New babies are a blessing, but no bird photos today ;) the word brought to mind a beautiful little sculpture I saw in rural France of the holy mother and child, the baby reaching out as if blessing. Taken in available light, not B&W or desaturated, just a snapshot as I was walking past, this is the only photo I have of the figures.

ReplyDeleteA wonderful snap shot...the contrast between the lighting and shadows is just wonderful!
ReplyDeleteWhen it grabs you snap it.
ReplyDeleteRe: My Colour Lettering I tried the Orb shape and it looked so ordinary. I hand traced a line made by the Penda tree after Orbing and used that. It is exactly as I like it. Not perfect but fitting. Like life. Glad a few noticed the words I thought the image was improved by them.
Great use of the light. It gives the statue real substance.
ReplyDeleteThe natural lighting is powerful with this image.
ReplyDeleteThat is a lovely image, warm in feeling and in tone. The soft natural lighting is perfect.
ReplyDeleteI love your photo, it is beautiful as is the statue.
ReplyDeleteThe mother in the shadow of the child....how fitting!
