SHADOWS & REFLECTIONS

Shadows & Reflections is a new photo, just edited. I like it, but am not really all that content with it. I guess it's obvious it's a bit "overworked." Whenever I try shots of this cherub, or any statuary in our gardens, I have a difficult time of it. They are among so many trees, bushes, plants that cast such intriguing shadows ... what to emphasize, what to cut out, what to change ... then there's always one or two distracting elements in just the wrong place for any crop I like that's too much, say, to just "paint" out ... 'tis a puzzlement. Seems both my initial "eye" for taking a shot and then my photoshop skills really need some development. All that said, I still sort of like this picture.
