Hi Salvatore, Great minds think alike mate! On the idea of the eye for a photo, not that I'm better looking than you lol. Yes, the ivy does add to the image, the statue was gradually being engulfed in the ivy, until they came and cut the roots to let it die back, sad, but as it died back, it gave out these nice autumn colours.
Hey Again Ian, you weren't kidding! I guess we have a similar eye for this type of art. This shot is very artistic, and love the way the ivy wraps ever so gently. Regards, Salvatore..P.S Your much more handsome than I...HAHAHAHA
