@Jrask: This is the first shot taken with my brand new Canon EF 70 – 200 mm f/2.8L IS USM lens. It's handheld; no flash. Thanks…rll

That is an amazing sculpture and captured so well, Ron. My eye is drawn to the figure with the raised finger. Perhaps Judas.

I agree, great detail and the color in the background makes this one pop. Great shot Ron.

Wonderful composition with the colour contrasts. If you've got time, try to turn the wooden characters into b&w with Photoshop or something equal and leave the background coloured (or vice versa)

La Poétaniste from ORLEANS, France

Bonjour,

Une très belle photo qui en cette occasion m'ouvre la porte pour dire :

L’Amour, la charité,
la vertu, le bon sens
renforcent nos coeurs
et fortifient nos âmes,
et nous embrassons
nos promptes souffrances,
comme la brebis
supporte son sacrifice.

Nos sensibilités sont vives,
nos tendresses sont grandes,
nous nous appliquons d’écouter
volontiers nos coeurs,
et nous sortons joyeusement
du sentier de la perdition,
relevant sans honte ni dégoût
toutes nos faiblesses.

Sur l’autel du bien,
c’est l’Amour qui transfigure,
qui marque profondément
notre coeur consolé,
et la pauvre conscience
de notre intelligence
est toute pénétrée
par son humble figure.

C’est l’Amour
qui libère les désirs
qui nous enferment,
et aux prières fidèles,
nous découvrons
de grandes joies.
À chaque bonne parole,
nous montons d’un coeur,
avec courage et patience
vers la Lumière qui éclaire.

Bien à vous et bonnes fêtes de Pâques, très amicalement, Marie.

@La Poétaniste: A beautiful photograph on this occasion opens the door to say:
L'Amour, charity,
Virtue, common sense
Reinforce our hearts
And strengthen our souls,
And embrace
Prompt our suffering,
Like sheep
Supports his sacrifice.
Our feelings are running high,
Our tenderness are great,
We are listening
Glad our hearts,
And we go merrily
The path of perdition,
Falling without shame or disgust
All our weaknesses.
On the altar of the property,
Love is transfiguring,
Which marks deeply
Consoled our hearts,
And poor awareness
Our intelligence
Is permeated all
By his humble figure.
It's Love
That frees desires
We lock up,
And the prayers faithful,
We discover
Great joys.
Every word,
We assemble a heart,
With courage and patience
To the Light that enlightens.

To say, the least, I am immensely flattered that this image is worthy of such beautifully poetic expression. To those who visit today, please check out the link to the poets blog…it's worth the visit! rll

Wonderful composition...great detail.

So you just got the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM? I just got the non IS version last week (used it to shoot the cars). It's a whole lot heavier than the 50mm that I'm used to carrying. ;) So far, I've been very pleased with the results.

So you have started the collectiojn of more lenses! I'm really looking forward to what you will be posting when you get your first macro lens. In the end, I'm sorry I'm disappointed I went for the 60mm instead of the 100mm macro - so if you are going to venture into this field, maybe I could give you a few pointers?
