I like your perspective on this sad subject. Thanks for sharing

Fabulous sculptures that are so touching in the reality of their story.

Your vertical treatment of the potato famine memorial conveys strong emotion, probably even more than a landscape view would. This format allows a close up of the woman's face up front and, although there's a figure on both sides missing here, they are similar images; on the left a man carrying a potato sack, on the right a man carrying either a sack or a small child. Here you have the essentials of the sculpture, including the dog and the man in the back with a young child draped over his shoulders. Plus your contrast and clarity is great for the woman, with an expected slight bokeh effect as we move to the back. Powerful stuff. I see it's not an entry in the Photo Journalism contest... you might want to consider that before time runs out. -Nik

A good presentation of the image. Nice focus and perspective in the photo. Best of luck in the contest.
