There was much discussion on how to portray FDR when his memorial was planned. Rather than hide his illness like the radio could, they had him seated in his wheelchair.

I really like the way you have the face blurred and the statues plate in focus. Very creative, of course. Do you have a full photo of the statue? Id love to see that.
