Beautifully done Rod :-) The silhouette of the statue and the placement of the sun.
Sorry, forget to mention it in the HM's. -Techo

Amazing what can be done with *no* autofocus and match-needle metering. Beautiful shot, Rod. -Philio Vance

Rod, I knew "Framing" was a topic you'd excell in. Tomas

Thanks all:-) Blimey, maybe it's not Queen Bodacia I don't know where I got that name from. Maybe it's a statue of Margaret Thatcher:-)

Uncle Rod, that’s an awesome photo....WOW you are one good photographer! You should display your gallery online for all to see!

Love the image. I believe this is her story:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/historic_figures/boudicca.shtml
Tacitus wrote about her. Tennyson wrote a poem about her and since the word means "Victory"
in the Celtic language, the Victorians erected a statute to her in London in 1902.

I have been unable to find a photo of the statue in Rome other than yours.

Good shot Rod. I like everything about this but if you were to remove the glare of the sun on the wall, I would like it better. My 2 cents.

Very artistic, Rod. The peeping sun adds the right touch! Shu
