This one is my favorite picture of your trip to Italy! Tell your daughter to come here and abandon Gwen Stefani, I want to see more of her work!
There is something in the light and in the composition that makes me feel as I could understand only now what the sculptor wanted to express with his art. I'm not sure of the location, but I would guess that it is one of the statues on the bridge in front of Castel Sant'Angelo. Well, if it is not, it doesn't matter, the kind of statue and the prespective of the shooting are the same. In any case, I did dozen of pictures of these statues and I couldn't get in the pictures the feeling that I had watching at them. They are majestic, powerful, light as air but heavy as stone, and they belong to another universe, and all this that I was not able to capture, was depicted by your daughter with a magic hand.
This picture makes me feel just the same as being in person in front of the statue and the sunlight coming through the cloud and caressing the top of the head of the angel gives me a vibrant emotion.
The perspective is also perfect, if closer it would have made the statue weird, if more distant it would have been flatter.
Please make an applause (a real one!) to Sarah on behalf of me! (and be a very proud father!)

Thank You,

she spotted the shot and grabbed the camera from me and took the picture. She is an extraordinary photographer and has taken some amazing photos. She has a great eye for composition and is very creative with what she shoots. I am thinking of asking her to set up her own dpc membership, but she spends so much time on the Gwen Stefani forum, that I think we may never have a meaningful conversation again! We'll both be 'forum bound'.

Thanks for your comments
