Simile of Daphne's transformation

C&C welcomed. Image was suggested by model -- is based loosely on

Bernini's statue 'Appollo & Daphne' depicting Daphne's father turning

her into a tree so to avoid Appllo's affection.

I saw the original in Rome a couple years ago. I was greatly impressed with the detail of the sculpture. Your photo immediately reminded me without reading your description. The representation is well done. Thanks for the memory.
