This needs a little light coming in from the left to show his face just a little more. I don't think the rest of him needs it, but the face should be lit. Awesome colors. I like what you did with the lighting thats in the pic now, but I think it needs just a little extra on his face.

Nice intrepretation of the subject; the lighting just makes this shot for me. Did you provide the front and/or side lighting on the statue?
Only impovement I could imagine would be a little more of the front light on his head/face.

Love the angle that you capture of the statue. Make him seem so much bigger then life. Beautiful sky and lighting behind him. Wow.

Interesting choice to emphasize this statue's rear! Nice point of view, and the clarity is so nice here.

I like the contrast of the dark blue sky, and orange-yellow backlighting.

great shot, could have shot a dozen different angles, could choice night sky.

Great colors in this. Angle is a little too exaggerated, but sometimes that works if the background is cluttered. The lighting on this is interesting too - looks too subtle to be a flash. Nicely done. Good luck!

Nice angle/lighting. Did you set up the light, or is it always there on the statue?

great angle and great color

This is an amazing photo, the contrast between the blue sky, black tree silohuettes, statue color and yellow light is an optimal mix. Just fantastic! This is one of my top picks for a ribbon.

Nice coloring, composition and DOF. This shot was really enhanced by the angle you took it from. One of my favorites. Good luck.

Not because I am a Texan, but this is the winner as far as I am concerned. The lighting, the sky, the tree sillohette, perfect. 10

great angle and lighting for a towering figure, beautiful color

The lightening and the color of the sky contrasted with the white monu. is what works in this image IMO. The tree is also composed in a way that does not distract from the image and adds to it IMO.

Very nice! You were able to use the backlighting and illuminate the front of the statue. Good work!
