This Tiki sculpture was moved to the grounds of the hotel where I stayed in Kauai from an historic site that was now being developed. It is carved from wood and seems to glow at times - I tried to capture that effect in this shot. All comments and critiques appreciated. PS: After the fact I noticed someone else had posted a tiki today - if one tiki is good luck then two in one day must be very good luck.

I hope he's very lucky, too, Kathy. He's certainly a fearsome looking chap. The strong lighting certainly does create a 'glowing' effect and I like the way it's reflected in the leaves.

Were you and Rebecca (rforres) over there together? She posted a Tiki today, too. Very nice shot of it, Kathy. It reminds me of a guy I used to work with. LOL.

Kathy - If the eyes start to glow and the jaw moves - stand back! With the palm fronds in the background, the tiki is in a very natural looking environment. Real nice lighting in your photo. Thad

That Tiki is a most fascinating thing to look at! I do believe, as you say, that its glowing! Excellent shot Kathy!

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography.

Great composition. I like this kind of sculptures, not very common in my region.

The richest man is not who has the most, but who needs the least.
Fabulous shot of this distinguished looking fellow, Kathy. The lighting's brilliant. If he's some sort of rain-god, we could certainly do with him in our garden.

Love the framing and presentation. Very well done! I loved Hawaii!

Kathy...
First of all I apologize for the delay and brevity. I have over 50 comments to take care of; so I will keep this relatively brief by my standards.
First of all, thank you. This shot, as you know, is not a flower. So thank you thank you thank you.
Interesting border, nice colors, exceptional subject matter. The wood seems a little overexposed. However, I have not looked at a photo in a week; so maybe my eyes are broken.

I love this kind of wood scuptures and this one is fantastic Kathy! I like very much the light in your photo. Love it!
