This is a detail from the handle of a huge pottery urn in the formal gardens of Castle Ashby. I loved that his face is covered in pale green lichen which looks like a beard. I had a little play in Topaz Textures Effects.
I'm amazed that this and the last I just commented on weren't on "Fav Overload"! This is gorgeous! Perhaps I'm coming to like "Photo Art" a notch above "a photo" when it's done well! To me, this might (possibly) be less exciting as "just a photo". You made it into art (again!)
@Weezilou thanks so much Louise! From you that means a lot! Favs? Who can understand why some shots you love get few Favs and others which are just ok in your mind get lots? All very subjective and not worth worrying about.
