Thumb-up    from amcanas/Alexandra (117) Send mail to this user on January 14, 2008 9:31:03 PM CST (4) Early critique

Wow, really interesting photo. Great crop job, his face is nice and central. And I'm glad the greenery behind him is out of focus, it really separates the statue from the otherwise elaborate plant life behind him. I only worry that the brightness is a bit too high, but then again the high contrast does create some shadows that make the figure look angrier and more intimidating than ever! With a character like that, that's unarguably a good thing.

Thank you for your critique. The statue was in St. Maartin where sunlight can be quite brutal. Didn't have my polorizing filter.
