Yes indeed! You hit the nail on the head...Epcot. They do this in many Italian cities.

This is a great shot. The detail is awesome, and the sharpness is perfect.

What an amazing tonal range on this. The lighting and exposure are simply wonderful. Good job.

Nicely done - exposure, sharpness, composition, are all spot on. The only problem for me is that is just does't have much impact (or WOW factor) 7

Very unique. Minor quibble: the seam in his shirt along the sleeve and across the bottom is rather distracting.

Great shot very imaginative. The lighting on this makes it very persuasive that this is actualy a statue. Lots of lovely shadows. The gentle smile is remeinecent of early religious statues of the saints. There two keys that give it away as not being a statue. The first one i like. The eyelashes add an unrealistic and too lifelike depth to the "statue". The second wich I don't like is the seam in the fabric along the bottom. This is a large give away that this is not an actual statue. I also find it distracting. All around great shot. One of my top 10 picks for the challenge.

If you could have included that rest of his arm in the image it may have been better as it seems to be cut off on the right.

It's an interesting shot but I find my interest is on his face and so find the vast amount of shirt to be a little excessive. If getting closer or cropping tighter around the face wasnt an option then at least cropping off some of the bottom may have helped.
