The statuary of New Orleans is one of my obsessions, and though my busy life rarely permits it I try as often as I can to photograph it. This was a Sunday morning session when I arose at 5:00, wandered the park, shot photos and returned home before my wife awakened. The morning light co-operated well, and this statue peeking through the branches of an oak tree caught my eye. I hope you like it.

It's a beautiful park! Especially enjoy the lighting, atmosphere and composition. Those trees are exceptional framing the statue. Thank you for sharing it!

The foreground tree has an interesting shape and is well used as a frame. The whole picture has a subtlety about it.

Positioned so beautifully amid the branches! The branches also lay down a strong vertical for the background trees and almost mimic the curve of the stairs at right. The early morning light is simply beautiful in this setting, too. Thanks for sharing, Regmar.

Much of the beauty in life is found in people who care.

Such a great shot Regmar. I agree with Alexis but I can also imagine the photo being cropped (which I did) and taking the steps. It gives the photo a more lonely, slipping around feel to it. Your photo is great as is, my idea was just a different take on it.

The colors and the mood are perfect. Makes me want to listen to this profound song.

Great work.

I'll meet you at the edge of the sunlight, just behind the shadows. Anyone who does not like clouds, does not like to dream. The Ghost

Absolutely fantastic! You really captured the serenity of that time of day! It's a beautiful statue and I understand your fascination.

When you're through with life and all hope is lost. Hold out your hand 'cos friends will be friends - right till the end.

Ah, that misshapen tree, and that happy grass glowing in amber sunlight against a dark, still-sleeping forest. yep.
