p.1 #2 · #369 Look to the heavens

The light is a bit harsh and I wish I could see her face but the composition, colours and the sheer interest the pic provokes are top notch. BTW, who is she and what's wrapped around her leg?

Happy shooting,
Yakim.

Thanks. This is a statue located outside the Belk Observatory at the Cloverlea farm, owned by Lynchburg College in Bedford County, Virginia, USA.

PS Bright light indeed but I liked the play of the glowing gold on her legs with the bright blue fall sky. Plus, it reinforces the idea that she's looking into the sun (above) from below (thus the theme), and I shot her from below lying flat on my back. Otherwise, she's much less dramatic. No idea what's around her leg; maybe a vine!

She appears to be a luna moth looking into the night sky. Interesting perspective here.

Dave-

I really like this shot. The perspective is interesting and the glow of her legs is a nice contrast to the rest of the piece. Nothing too harsh about this in my opinion. Well done.
