I've never tried photographing from this side before, mostly because the statue has its back to me. But in the morning light it is definitely the best angle and the trees make a much more impressive frame. The two men walking give a sense of size that the fountain by itself lacks to the unfamiliar eye. I'm happy with this picture. :smile:

Before reading your description I thought that they were two kids - when I read "mean" the scale really set in. The Spanish moss vignette is fantastic!

Phil:  Evocative image well executed, especially depth of field wise. Brings forth a merge of ante and post bellum worlds.

 

Cheers:   Tom
