A section of the evocative and haunting Rowan Gillespie sculpture "Famine" on Dublins Docklands, with the banking headquarters as a backdrop. Poignant!

Thanks Tiffany, Thought I had entered it on the day of the launch... Do I need to enter it in a different way? Sorry - new to this site and also a bit of a technological dinosaur! Fionntán
No problem! Just post a link here in the comments http://thenewwildgeese.com/profiles/blogs/irish-freeze-frame-photo-...
SO many great photos coming in it's hard to tell which ones people intend for the contest!
Great photo Fionntan.
Thanks Belinda
Perfect example of how the "post hoc, ergo propter hoc" (after this, then because of this) reasoning can be perfectly logical. Great photo, well "framed."
