Wonderful detail in this photograph! The light to dark background complements it very well.

Excellent Sabine you only see to get better with your post. I think the way you have presented this is so like a pro and the detail is superb. Sandi (Notice the new avatar) I'm an avatar nut i guess :)

I begin to know Vienna...THANKS a lot for the beautiful picture and also for the informations!....Very nice work,indeed!....Cheers, Adriana

I also like the shadow/light in this. And the history really helps. Thanks Sabine. :-)

very good Sabine, love the b/w by this one and I know Franz Joseph I not in person ofcourse:)) but from the books and the TV

Au !! those figures below carrying the lot on top seem to have it hard, well done by the sculpture. The top figure looks like Neptune ?

It looks like he's lost something that he was holding in his outstretched hand. But of course this is a marvelously executed statue and thanks for photographing it so well. I also wanted to tell you that I love the way you've framed it. I didn't even notice it at first, and I guess that was the idea. It really compliments your presentation, Sabine.

Really well done, Sabine and an excellent choice in the background. It complements the statue perfectly -

You've expertly captured a fabulous statue here Sabine. The presentation is excellent too and the choice of black and white was a good one. Well done.

Wow..again your talent shines through on this shot Sabine! And again more excellent material presented to us! Magnificent looking statue! Is the little one in the middle their child? Looks like Mr. Danubius really has abs of rock! lol Not to mention his muscular legs! I wouldnt want to mess with him..looks like one tough dude! Excellent work all around Sabine!

lovely shot, and i like how you did the gradient background too! i like the black and white too, it works well on this shot!

So well focused, great shot, I wish there was a little more on the sides of the sculpture. You are doing great work.

I love the way you have done this in black and white and the framing is perfect Sabine! Patti

Very nice job Sabine! I think the detail is excellent. Beautiful subject as well. thanks!

Hi Sabine, I never used to be a fan of B&W pics, but since joining Caedes my views have gradually been changed. Your offering here has confirmed for me that B&W still has a major role to play. This is superb and shows up the textural detail and subtle tones of these statures far better than colour could have. The image very much enhanced by that ckever graduated border. Excellent!
Cheers,
Steve.
