 Loved this challenge despite it being very hard to find 7 subjects to shoot, spent all week counting objects every where I walked, these statues are above the facade of a building in the heart of the city surrounded by glass and steel offices, it's been grey and wet most of the week so I tried a night shot had to do my best hand held leaning on a wall

Thanks for the comments and encouragement, early days lots to learn, quick round up of the queries, the building is on Bishop's Gate City of London, the statues are on the roof looking down and slightly to left (i flipped it), I really struggled to get the balance between light and dark, dark to hide the flag pole behind last statue and a lamp column in foreground (glad it was out) tried quiet a few angles of shot but all others resulted in illuminated back drops, there is a tower block behind the building.

Thanks Again

Pete

What are they looking? ; )
I like it but my sight goes to the base not to the figures

Very interesting composition ... risky ... but well enough done to succeed. I'd love to lose the verticle line on the right but with basic editing, I'm not sure how. Good. Job!

neat idea and I am sure a difficult shot to capture Focus is somewhat soft though. BOL

A well composed night-time shot. A slight distraction with the ladder/ariel? behind the last statue. Overall a good image that meets the challenge.

nice implied lines and use of negative space.

nice photo, too bad the pole in the background is distracting

Where is this? It reminds me of Italy. I would like to see a bit more detail in the statues. Maybe too many shadows.
