I photographed this same statue as an abstraction (click on the small thumbnail below) to make its viewers think it almost real. In this case, however, I use this statue of a rodeo rider, which stands in Jackson’s town square, as context for the brilliant color coming from the tree overhead. The bronze statue acquires a golden tone all of its own as the vivid leaves seem to bow to it in salute. This image is largely about the nature of color and in this case, it provides much of the meaning.
