Description
This statue of St Francis came to me from some friends. He's leaning against the base of a rhododendron at the corner of my house. I just kinda liked the detail of the branches with him in the middle.

Nice fellow to have in your garden. He keeps the birds singing and the wolves at bay. Nice moody light and setting.
And he's got a bird on his arm...most fitting for the setting. Well done.
Great shot, he looks good leaning against the tree and talking to his bird friend. I have a St Francis too, the one I sent my parents when they lived in the desert. Since they've come to live with me he came too, and now presides over my backyard.
He fits in perfectly there! I like what you've done to the pic.
Beautiful image!
beautiful work my friend. when I saw your icon for this picture i thought it was from poser or something, I did not know it was a photo until I opened it. very nice post work.
Beautiful image
He looks relaxed and happy in your garden. What a lovely thing ... thank you!
He really does look ideal setting there, nice idea for a pic Marilyn
wonderful image..
Apparently, it was the work of the wee ones, possibly the leprechauns, that left the statue of St Francis of Assisi for you to find, Maz. In any event, nice lighting effects in this one. And, actually, when used in its most eloquent Irish brogue, it's "Saints PresArve Us."
Exvellent composition and superb light!!!
A superb composition! Great light!
yes, it's a creative angle & creative capture, with many interesting things all around him. I love how he comes out of the base branches of the plant, almost like snakes that are protecting him; and you have some other great looking objects in the shot too (I assume already in the plant to begin with). And like Denise says, he's looking down on a bird, probably speaking to it. Also, you've got some really interesting stuff behind the plant: In this cloistered angle it looks like you have a whole jungle back there! Nice burgeoning capture, he belongs there, it's where he'd want to be if he could tell you.
cool shot
nice capture x
