I think this is Samuel Adams in front of some historical place in Boston. Thanks for viewing. Critique welcomed.

Paul - Faneuil Hall, always of historical significance, was restored along with the surrounding old commerce buildings to form Quincy Market, a wonderful tourist spot. Prior to the American Revoliution, the Sons of Liberty met in this hall.

The b/w treatment works well here. A moinor point - I might have repositioned myself so SA's head was not perfectly aligned with the roof line. Thad

Great composition and clarity! I like the strong lines of the building contrasted with the statue in the foreground.

Detail and sharpness most impressive and I like the perspective - making Mr Adams look so imposing.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . .
