These are all so very nice!! The rain on it makes it even more beautiful!! Ryana · 2011-03-11: 10:33

Wow I love this set , fantastic sculpture even in the rain and you gave the right angles to capture it's beauty . The last shot is lovely too with the flowers in the foreground MoMac · 2011-03-11: 10:44

Great views! Love the last one.. NellyBly · 2011-03-11: 11:20

ohhh! very - very good! saso63 · 2011-03-11: 11:35

Amazing angles, great details and fantastic work with focus! number 5 goes to favs :) Kovac · 2011-03-11: 11:46

Ohhhh WOW!! I love that sculpture, very nice mystic1 · 2011-03-11: 11:47

O-M-G! These shots are superb. Your camera work has breathed life into a "breathless" inanimate sculpture! They are "breathtaking" images. #7 brings tears to my eyes as it reminds me of my son Kevin and what he has accomplished! danrav · 2011-03-11: 12:07

Great shots, Marsha, and I think the rain certainly added to these images!!! darfoster · 2011-03-11: 12:20

You know, I like the rainy ones even better than the sunny one. I like the limited pallet that the rain gives. That foot is superb with the rain drops........... well, they are all really lovely. I could go on giving praise - the linear quality of the grasses and the tree in the first....... (can you tell that I like them?) SADHYA · 2011-03-11: 12:53

the shot of the hand, taken on it's own, gives me a sense reaching for something unattainable... but the whole set is of course carefree and lovely. I also especially like #6. McMommy · 2011-03-11: 13:25

I think I like the winter ones best, the grass and the rain.....love those water drops. IShuttertoThink · 2011-03-11: 13:46

Gorgeous shots of a lovely sculpture Lynda · 2011-03-11: 14:52

Great! You have so fantastic ideas to new posts! :-))) JumiElla · 2011-03-13: 06:49

Marsha, I never thought that one simple statue can be done so creatively! I added #4 and the last one to my faves.. Great job! lyricalthoughts · 2011-03-13: 11:08

Very beautiful set. Like them so much. farideh · 2011-03-13: 14:52

Beautiful set...love the detail...and the fact that the rain didnt stop you from taking some impressive images. LAZYWASP · 2011-03-13: 18:23

this is a stunning set wow great work slowpete · 2011-03-14: 02:21

Don't worry about the rain. You've got some great shots in the rain. leocheung · 2011-03-14: 05:15

When the sun came out in the last shot, the boy looks very realistic, like he really is running through the flowers. busybee36 · 2011-03-14: 07:01

What a beautiful sculpture. I often think rain makes things more interesting, it certainly worked here! :-) girafferacing · 2011-03-14: 14:03

oh wow, Marsha...these are awesome! Perfect artistic vision and timing too in photographing them in the fog. It is so effective in creating such a dramatic mood, yet as an oxymoron in a sense because the little boy is representative as playful and whimsical....as i mentioned, fantastic artistic vision, part of your "look again" spirit.xox! ????? · 2011-03-14: 14:27

I love this set, Marsha! Such beautiful captures!! I especially love the fourth and last shots! jennye · 2011-03-14: 15:45

Wooooooow...Unrivaled ! Gerad · 2011-03-15: 04:53

very nice! honzicek · 2011-03-15: 15:52

This is a very well done post Marsha, it's not only about taking pictures from a statue, but you did it in a very specail way, emphazing the surrounding beauty and exression of the statue. My fav. is shot 3!! Unchained · 2011-03-16: 05:47

Very cool!! The rain drops on the toes and fingers are a great touch! SheriJ · 2011-03-16: 09:41

i love to dance in the rain! (u might know now why in 'Bollywood' movies u see dances in the rain!! :)). you are so creative to get such diverse shots from a static object. fantastic post miltonjacob · 2011-03-16: 11:51

Superb Marsha!! ????? · 2011-03-16: 21:05

Magníficas! miguelcruz · 2011-03-17: 13:06
