You've been, it would appear ... on a decidedly 'warm' colour palette photographic kick. As of late.

Peaked my curiosity, as to whether it is the result of some in-camera experimentation.

Back to your image here..


Good good composition as always. With respect to the angle, perspective and placement of the statue within frame.

The only real caveat that I have.. is that of the exposure. As some details are lost in the shadowed areas. So..

This is my current commenting mantra:

"Understanding Your Digital Camera's Histogram"


Have an editing/post processing suggestion for you.

Create a Black and White conversion layer. Mess around with the colours. Then, change the Blending Mode to that of Luminosity. Adjust Opacity and/or Fill.

That said..

Good good shot.

The light sky works well here (which, and in turn prompted the thought of a B & W conversion. Lil' pedestrian on that particular suggestive front, but ... hey ... that's me? :oP)

And the posturing captured aptly fits with your chosen title.


Thanks for sharing this one with us, Rebecca. :o)

You have been given good advice Rebecca. The angle you chose really makes the shot come to life. Well composed.

I am bookmarking Les advice page for future reference. I like the angle of this, but I don't think The Garth Brooks song was referring to this statue. LOL.

Rebecca - Perhaps Les' comment about lighting balance is merited. But, the angle and composition are on the mark. Thad

I agree that your angle is perfect for this and so is the lighting. I think its very well done!
