Description
This is a photo I took earlier in the year of the 'Fine Lady' Statue at Banbury Cross. It's the bells on the toes of the fine lady on the white horse.I recently had this published in a local news paper.

I like the textures of this shot because it definitely adds that old feel. It's an interesting perspective too. Seeing as it's a whole statue, I like how you've only framed the foot. Looks good in b&w too.

This is a statue in Banbury (Oxfordshire in the UK). There's a rhyme about Banbury that goes:
Ride a cock horse to Banbury Cross
To see a fine lady upon a white horse
With rings on her fingers and bells on her toes
She shall have music wherever she goes
If you like, you can have a read about the rhyme and it's origin here: [link]

Oh man, this is waaaaay too cool for words..."With rings on her fingers and bells on her toes, and she'll have music with her wherever she goes"...am I remembering that correctly? Something to that effect anyway. A beautiful picture of a beautiful subject. The quality is beyond belief.
