Taken Saturday in Galveston, Texas. I don't know the sculptor's title so I gave this work of art the name "Phoenix Rising" because it reminds me of the mythical creature's rise from the ashes. This sculpture was carved from one of the many oak trees in Galveston that were lost to Hurricane Ike. Citizens in the historic homes district of Galveston arranged to have local sculptors carve the trees into works of art rather that having them cut up and removed. I for one am glad they did! :-)

Nice composition Barry. Good job softening the background to seperate the subject from the background.
Thanks Larry!
Cheers!
