Thanks, all. I must say I am surprised at the interest shown in this image. I took about a dozen shots at various angles but this was the only one worth showing. Curious patrons kept getting in the background. Larry, the forecourt is lit 24/7. The owner has a substantial seamless solar backup so it is never dark.

I like this a lot!  I see what you mean about the isolation problem; but in a 
perverse way the ugly commercial background somehow enhances the affection and 
beauty of the sculpture.

The photo and the isolation problem remind me of this one I took in the center 
of Antwerp:

Works well, surprisingly.  The last time I saw wire bags full of stone was
as harbour wall protection on the island of St. Helena, and it wasn't
sculpture!

The Phalaborwa Wire & Stone Sculptor has been at it again with this
offering. It is very badly situated for photography near the entrance to the
convenience store at a local filling station. With all the customers & cars
milling around & the poor lighting it was a real challenge to even get a
shot. Quite appealing, actually.
