This is striking seeing all the personages together. I know George Washington was really tall, and the perspective is interesting. Good one!

Thad, I've seen (and admired) the portrait of one of the greatest USA presidents many times. Wish I could have seen it many much more times, because his portrait is depicted on US banknotes, ☺ .

Good addition to this very interesting series, my friend!

I'd get rid of the circular shadow by the gent in the back; it makes it look like he is hovering in place. :) A good capture of the statues, Thad. Great clarity and good lighting in the photo.
