Mary's Loving Hand
I shot this last summer at Lakewood Catholic Academy, formerly St. Augustine Academy, my fiancee’s alma mater in Lakewood, Ohio.
She was showing me around the campus when I saw this statue of Mary. It struck me like no statue I had ever seen. She looked weathered and tired; an old soul that has been worn by the weight of the world.

Great capture, lovely comp and great angle, looks like someone liked her fingers just a little too much, and took off with them.

Is this what a small child sees when they look up at their mother?
What a brilliant angle to take it at!
A touch foreboding and yet comforting, reassuring, ..... just like a true mother.
Well done mate!
