Interesting, Paul. Great foliage but, to my mind, a little too much of it. But I understand what you're trying to do.

I like this one a lot, although maybe agree with Andrew that there is a lot of foliage - two minds though... the more I look at it the more I wonder... Were you in London today to take this? MUCH nicer day today than yesterday (typical) - I was in London but stuck in the office for 11 hours...
Good stuff

Thanks, Mat.
I have a lot of images I took today for my project, and this is one of 'em. I was very grateful for the weather, today. It soon clouded over by about 2pm, though.
I think the foliage is down to a matter of taste, really.
The City of London has a nice abundance of it, and I try to incorporate it in my photos.
In this image I felt I was making a statement about how these statuary are easily missed and not seen, if only for being a little more aware.

Pauly,
I can see that your titles are setting the trend here - it's all about contextualising your images, as you said at the outset. That way, you can afford to let the statuary aspect recede from the foreground, and become a part of the overall picture. Nice. It's an approach that I like anyway.

Thanks Gareth, thanks i-Berg.
i-Berg, i'm on the lookout for relationships between the public and these statues, and other analogies, too.
Cheers.
