[QUOTE="hotrocks, post: 40172, member: 1841"] The statue is of a famous poet (Japanese or Chinese, not sure) who could only write poetry when drinking sake. Any pictures or sculptures of him will always have him holding some sort of glass. I was trying to capture the peace, history and beautiful architecture in one go. I was attracted to this picture and angle for several reasons. 1: The mysterious empty chair... Was it his or is for someone to sit down and listen to him speak? 2: That statue itself from a higher viewpoint. 3: I find the path leading down to the statue and the doorway very interesting. (I'm tempted to put a person sitting and pondering on the step above the doorway) I think the tree and tree brace on the right are a bit distracting. This was a overcast day as well, so maybe going back when there are more shadows might add effect. There are a few other angles to take this picture from, so any suggestions on composition or post production are appreciated. [ATTACH=CONFIG]6962._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
