After the incessant rain of the last week today started with a glorious blue sky which struck me as being an ideal inspiration for today’s ‘blessings’ theme. As I walk into school on a Wednesday I pass this rather imposing statue of St. Richard (by the sculptor Philip Jackson), who was Bishop of Chichester from 1244 and is buried inside the Cathedral. I took this shot during my lunch break and used my polarising filter to bring out the colour of the blue sky.

Nice shot. I like the point of view. Welldigger · 2009-11-25: 08:50

Superb shot! Tats25 · 2009-11-26: 02:31

This is one of those shots you want to love but have to criticize: I would have cropped differently (I know, the PB vertical bias is hard to overcome) and would address the exposure differently to avoid that large black hole... revenant · 2009-11-29: 11:30
