An unusual outdoor sculpture near the Yahoo Dome in Fukuoka, home of the Soft Bank Hawks Baseball Team. A peaceful year 2008, to everyone on TL. I liked the juxtapositioning of the hawk (a symbol of war) & the peace sign. I guess the 2 are never far apart?

Wonderfull shot Chris this low pov gives it a sense of hight. The colors are great as well. Good one
Best wishes for 2008

PEACE to you too Chris. I like your POV looking up at it. And is it advertising for the shop in the BG - is that why the hawk is on the finger?

I hope you have a happy new year over there - do they celebrate the New Year like we do at this date?

Cheers
Janice

That peace-sign could also be read as the sign for Victory, Chris... so the eagle fits anyway ;o).
nice capture, and I guess some nice pp work to enhance it... Posterise, for instance... or is it "as captured"?
Either way, TFS

Is this real ??
If yes.. it is a phantastic photo..
your color setting is stunning !!
