Thank you so much for the positive feedback, Ill see if I can get a better shot of this scene in the near future.

I'm sure that you are disappointed with the placement in this challenge. It's not often that I give a 10 for 148th place. lol.
I'd like to see what this shot would look like redone, although I think it's a great shot as is. The bottom is a bit distracting although I understand about wanting to get the base of the statue in the shot. I also like the shadows and light on the statue. The long flare does distract from the subject. Even though I'd already commented on this pic, I had to write again! Keep up the good work.

The proportion aspect is very cool in this shot. The two subjects seem to be slightly rotated counter-clockwise, and just far enough off-center as to be a little distracting. Very creative composition!

I'm not sure about the tilt to the picture, but overall, I think this really shows proportion well. Beautiful! 10

I really like this - seem to be some lighting issues though. I don't know how you'd correct without losing the brilliant beam from the top left. 6

That is one effective sun flare!

I can't really tell what this is a statue of. The sun flare in the top left is very distracting. Is the statue reaching for the sky? If so, a different view point to simplify the background would have helped. The tall building just gets in the way unless you intended to frame the statue so she looked the same height as the building. Forced perspective can be fun but it only works when the background isn't distracting.
