a "portrait shot" of the statue of Mr. George Bernard Shaw. The town of Niagara On The Lake is home to the Shaw Festival Theater, where his plays and those of other playwrights are performed.

I like this with the fall foliage in the background.

thanks Casil - it was a beautiful day in NOTL, the trees are just radiating with their fall colours

Yes, very nice. The bright fall colours highlight a very nice portrait.

Thanks Iggy and Casil

Great shot, my only criticism would be: remove the little piece of foliage from the brow, then frame it!

thanks Matt, but could land me in big trouble- as Mr. Shaw is the central element in a fountain and they don't take kindly to jumping around in their fountains in NOTL

That yellow folliage makes a really nice background.. Makes the statue really stand out.
