I love this image, and the exposure and tones are wonderful. A slightly off-center (just a bit) framing, and just a little more room between the toes and the bottom of the frame might be interesting to see, too. But I tagged this as a favorite!

Lighting on this is beautiful!! I agree with the crop suggestion. It would add a little interest. GREAT JOB!

From the Critique Club:

This is an very nice study of lighting! I love how you have lit this up from the side. You have almost every type of lighting from raking to straight on. This gives the shot much depth. Great job.

Technicaly this is flawless. You have spot on focus and DOF. Exposure is damn near perfect. Nothing blown out at all. I do think the ever slightest hint of fill lighting, perhaps from a simple sheet of paper, on the shadow side may have enhanced this a bit.

I'm not sure that the centered composition was your best choice. I wonder what the base of the statue looks like below the frame. It would really be cool if your statue was framed so that he looks down at the bottom right corner...

Very nice work!

Yours
TC

Great light but too centered, an off-centre composition with some negative space on the right would make this better IMHo.

I'm usually not much for photos of statues, but your use of light/shadows is flawless.
