POTW 15-09-2015

Murray Foote wins this weeks POTW with this unusual image. I love its extended DOF, the steep perspective that invites the viewer to fly into the landscape. And there's lots to see along the way. I find the empty square a little disconcerting...where are the people?....And I so badly want to see the face on the statue.... if only there was a girl in a red dress holding a mirror, reflecting the identity of the bust back to the viewer. Ahhhh well......we can't have everything. Well done Murray! :up:
