Great dramatic picture of a wonderful sculpture. I'd have cloned out the curley-que thingie as it isn't obvious what it is and it doesn't relate to the sculpture. Nice positioning and I bet you waited until those clouds were just right!
Beautiful image, and composition is ideal. I have to agree with Sharon about the "curley-que" thing. nice job. I'm going to Italy (Rome included) in April. Where might I find this statue?
