Very well presented, Vandana. Nice work on straightening the verticals. Excellent colour rendition on the statue too. The bright parts on top are a wee bit distracting for me, maybe some burnbrush there would work magic ;o).
Anyway, TFS and all the best for 2008.

You have an eye for lovely things, like this statue - very fitting for this time of year.

Hi Vandana,
I didn't had time to visit you lately! A mother is very busy when Christmas and children arrive to home! :) So, your note touches me:"Let us remember that the Christmas heart is a giving heart, a wide open heart that thinks of others first".
Your beautiful photo is a good support for this quotation.
Dear Vandana, I wish you the best for 2008!

Hi Vandana - This image is from my country of origin. I visited the cathedral of Cologne visited many times. Its facade is partially 'plastered' with figures such as this one of the Virgin Mary and Jesus. I like the way you isolated her sculpture, all the more so since the grey carbon-dioxide coat all over the building makes it hard to get a good-looking shot. The figure looks better by itself. Good choice! Thank you for sharing! - Cordelia :))
PS: Did you know that it took some 600 years to build this cathedral?
