What a fabulous capture. It is absolutely stunning in black and white. I have stood in awe and looked up at a lot of statues in my time. genie

There's no fog quite so magical as fog in Venice—this is awesome, James!

Great composition!

All the monumental sculptures all over the place in Italy ! Boggles the mind, seems like nearly everywhere one looks in many Italian cities and towns there are amazing sculptures all over the place. And this one came with a striking weather induced ambiance... which fortunately you were there to capture, at just the right time...
