A Dragon For Saint George


City Daily Photo is running a theme: pictures for St. George's Day. Since George is famous as a slayer of dragons, I'm contributing this dragon picture. I added a gradient in Photoshop to dress up the white garden sculpture, which probably represents a Chinese dragon rather than a Western one, but I'm just having fun here.

    I'm not sure whether the colours make it more sinister or more friendly! Like the wings of a dragon fly perhaps?

    The dragon looks more asian to me in design than western, even before your photo shop fun.
    I love the asian culture, and wouldn't mind having that sculpture in my garden:)

    dragons do look quite different whether they are eastern or western, don't they?!

    I think St. George could handle a Chinese dragon as well as a western one. You did a great job with the gradient.
