I'm still working on a project documenting the art, architecture, and people in my church. This is a reshoot of a challenge photo that I entered a long time ago with some minor improvements...

I love the title - Pax Vobiscum - Come unto Me all ye that are weary and heavy-laden and I will give you rest. Take My Yoke upon you and learn of Me, for I am Meek and Lowly in heart, and ye shall find Rest unto your souls.
This is a beautiful capture. The lighting is phenomenal and the subject is quite appropriate for the week of Easter. The detail is remarkable down into the shadows. I simply couldn't improve on this. 10
The way the light and shadows fall on this statue keep amazing me. The carving looks so simple yet so lifelike, the most difficult to achieve. Well captured.
Very nice, this drew my attention as a thumbnail, which is good for stock images.
Perhaps just the lightest touch of light to fill under brow and highlight beard, not much though. I can't stop looking at this one.
What amazing light in this image. Honestly I must say that by itself there isn't much to this image that I find interesting, but the way you captured the light on the statues face is really remarkable. In any case "just another statue" has been made into something quite beautiful.
