looks a little OOF. might be because of down-sizing the file, though.

Thats kinda cool. I like the concept but I think the image is missing a point of interest or a wow factor. May if you had some water on the inside of the colander so steam was coming from the holes you could have had a really impressive shot.

So to address some of the comments below:
The "building" in the picture was one of the lights around the statue. Unfortunately this was the best angle to get rid of them. The other angles I shot the statue from they were REALLY noticable. (I can understand why you would think its a building)

The glow around the rider? I don't see it myself but looking at some more I can see where one would think that. I am not sure how that came to be. I didn't do any dodging, burning etc. Which brings me to the next point... I should have done some dodge on the statue to bring out some more detail.

And yes, in retrospect I shouldn't have centered him. (Of course this was a test shot that turned out to be one of the best I took that afternoon).

Thank you all again for taking the time to comment.

clever idea. Wonder if it will score well being as it is a mundane item.

Clever lighting effect to get these spots.

The glow around the rider ruins the image for me, shame because the texture of the rocks and sky is very good
