Ed - Your eye for angles is amazing. Most photos would be facing the statues. Yet, very effectively, you have taken a position to the side and rear of them. Color, lighting, and composition are on the mark, of course. Thad

Love the angle of this. You have such an eye for these. It's just amazing. Would love to see what the front of these look like.

The same unusual angle as you had used capturing buildings.
Natural colours, very fine.

Beautiful statues and I like the diagonal line they are forming. Very nice!

How lucky to have these inside one's residence EDV. It looks like time has been hard on them. I suspect the demand for so many statues in that time led to so many artists. What a trade that must have been. I too like the angle.

I see what you wanted to do here Ed and it's a nice idea. The intense colour is just about right and the texture in the stone is good. The perspective doesn't quite work for me, just because you've had to chop the statues in half, but you conveyed the sense of them all standing in line very well.

I like the angle too. I think it's a little bright for me, but other than that it's good.

Ed, how could you? What is going on with the row of beautiful, nearly symmetrical nymphs or nereids or whatever they are and then a figure that looks like one of the stonemasons! Very interesting...and yes, technically, I will echo the good comments on your composition here.
