Lovely shot Walter. Needless to say, spot on theme. nicely composed giving the bird space to move into, colours are excellent.
That's a good'un, Walter. Really well captured and composed
Thanks for comments, it was a lucky day for me , as you only see them normally in the sky, if you see them at all.Vast - Spectacular view and very impressive sky - loved the time-lapse
Rough - Well captured and certainly on theme.

Very interesting find there Walter, but I think there are a couple of things you could try which may improve the image.
1. Try a crop that puts the statue on the LH 1/3rd, that way she (it feels like it's a she) is looking into space in the shot
2. Try a very tight crop which shows just the head and shoulders (you could even crop off the top of the hat). Again it will need the space balanced to provide an area for her to look into.
I need to ask the same question as Clive though. What and (more importantly), where?

What an interesting sculpture - wonder about the significance of it's presence there. Nice find Walter - definitely covered and a nice subject to expend your photographic skills.

It is a sculpture by Phillip Jackson see here called moonstruck, it is displayed at Pashley manor Gardens Sussex along with lots of other work, the gardens are used as a platform for different artists to display there work.

I agree with Tim @LC2 with the crop suggestions Walter,
Maybe down the left hand side just to the left of the bench to get rid of the dead space and give her room to gaze into.
Nice find, interesting statue

Well that's certainly different, thanks for sharing. Would be better photographed on the beach, like on the front page of http://www.philipjacksonsculptures.co.uk

Thanks for comments as always really appreciated,Vast - Nice view! I like the little puffs on cloud in the big blue sky.
Rough - Loving the sharp focus on the bird. He’s a handsome fellow!
Covered - Wow, that's really creepy. Your second crop works really well.

just posted for a bit of fun. COLOURFUL I THINK

Definitely Colourful Walter. Coincidentally, I had that same thought this morning while in a supermarket - all so colourful whatever the aisle or products - a way of enticing the shopper no doubt.

Great minds think alike carl LOL,
Quite pleased how it handled for such a small camera, testing the video tomorrow.

Hi Walter,
Hits the theme, and certainly colourful.
It's odd to think that a camera you were presumably hiding in the palm of your hands has more mp than a 1D2.
Still, the distortion in that shot, ouch, my eyes are bleeding
I hope you don't mind, but this was the result of < 2 minutes in CS2, spending some real time would have resulted in a better edit

Well the bottom 1/3 is colourful, nice idea and with a bit of saturation boost and a crop would work great, nice little camera by the sounds of it

The pic is more or less as it came out of camera, with a slight boost in colour and a crop.

Very colourful, bang on theme. But I can't see any straight line in that shop
My daughter loves Poundland
A chunk of the top for me, but on theme and I do like people watching
Cheers.
Thanks for comments, much appreciated, what I was looking at was really seeing what came out of the camera with minimal changes, I suppose you could say a marmite shot, as by its very nature it has a fish eye effect,Colourful is certainly on theme, but I might have been tempted to give it a bit of a colour boost - a slightly artificial look might have suited the subject? Or maybe not!

Ahhhhhh nice idea Walter, but not so sure myself, I see it fully as a still photography challenge
<EDIT> But... it is 'Your' challenge, so just my crappy opinion

Have a great day Ruth, very photogenic over there as you probably know.
The Wisteria is out, and keep an eye out for the little baby ducks, so cute,
