Way too out of focus. Maybe a spot reading would have helped to clear up the lack of clearness. I do like the optical illusion of this image appearing to be a giant with a lilliputian size landscape behind it.

This should probably be DQ'd as a photo of artwork. The photo has promise, but it could have been a better photo IMO if you had leveled the horizon, lit the subject in a more interesting way, managed the grain of the photo a bit, worked with brightness and contrast to improve the over exposure. It's a nice sculpture and all but the background doesn't really contribute to the context. I am sure this sounds negative and I don't mean to be hurtful. I'd like to see you keep shooting and getting better at post processing.

A bit harsh with this desaturation, the image becomes grainy and colors distorted, b/w would maybe have worked better.

I hope you are not offended, but what purpose did this statue use to serve that makes it now obsolete? Are you referring to coal miners in general? I am going to go with that.

The wonky horizon detracts from this "poster" shot, but otherwise great work!

I dont think the rules let you do this.
