The story behind the image

Today I picked an exceptionally nice image for you. It shows the statue of The Little Mermaid in Copenhagen. In 2022 I already blogged about the challenges getting a decent shot of this statue. Now it’s time to show the somewhat decent shot. The cloud covered sky reduced the contrast which really helps here. And despite the tiny P&S Sony camera I used, I like this shot, because it focuses on the statue, gets close to the statue despite the high position, and keeps the skyline out of the frame!

Small, but nice.
