It looks slightly tilted to me. I do like the contrast of flashy colorful car to old, stately colorless house. 5.

Reminds me of the Buena Vista ferry crossing of the Willamette River south of Monmouth, Oregon USA.

First Impression:
My eyes went to the face, to the hands, white part of left wing, down to the elbows, then over to the right wing. �What�s on the elbow?�

Composition:
Sky and wings too close in colour. Not enough contrast. May have been cropped to tight, but I don�t know what you may have been excluding on purpose. You didn�t include any notes on what you did taking the picture or post processing.

Subject:
Feel you met the challenge.

Technical:
Whites are blown and focus is soft. Nothing really sharp. Some contrast adjustment followed by some USM may have helped

Suggestions:
Don�t think the �sepia� effect works. May have been better in B/W, or original colour?

Summary:
Unfortunately, your statue doesn�t have a very high �interest� level. Post processing may not have been appropriate for this picture.

Greetings from the Critique Club...

If you request a critique from the critique club, you should always fill out your 'Photographer's Comments' field when you submit your photo. When you don't include your own thoughts on the image, you can't really expect someone else to give their time and effort to give you a critique. It makes me think that you don't care enough about your own photo to take the time to post your thoughts on it...

This photo doesn't have much visual impact and the composition doesn't seem to have any particular consideration given to it at all. The background is quite busy and not complimentary of the subject either. The visual impact provided here is minimal and rather unimpressive. In my personal view, this photo is a very weak attempt... possibly a last minute idea. Better luck next time :)
