For my finale in this challenging thread, and for those of you with a foot fetish...

:lol:

Sacramento has artwork displayed in every corner - statues, murals, fountains, tilework, arches and more ... Everything is in some way a reflection of our state's heritage or history. Previously, in my gallery, I posted a portion of the Sisters of Mercy memorial statue in which one of the sisters is kneeling beside a baby wrapped in a blanket. One of the comments on that shot was that the baby could not be made out in the deep shadow, which was my intention, BTW, since it was not my chosen subject at the time.

I went back to that statue every morning last week trying to find the right light to catch a shot of this rock-child, but the sun just wasn't cooperating, however, I was able to capture this one moment when a ray of sun broke through the branches of the redwood trees around it and illuminated the one foot of the baby.

So, there you go. My exotic is a stone-cold foot. End of story.  :tt2:
