A giant statue of the Hindu God Lord Shiva at the Ganga Talao (Grand Bassin/Holy lake) in the heart of Mauritius.

The 108 foot high statue is a relatively new installation at the holy lake which is a beautiful and tranquil location and a sacred place for the islands' Hindu community.

Nothing special composition wise - just playing around with some aperture/exposure controls on the camera to find optimal detail settings. May have to reduce/turn off the in camera sharpening also.

A beautiful shot and I love the detail you have captured. Would it be possible to re-crop the original so he is not standing on the frame of the picture?

Winter is the season in which people try to keep the house as warm as it was in the summer, when they complained about the heat.
