[QUOTE="jazzjunkie, post: 370483, member: 22269"] tricky one because I feel this pic has been a labour of love for you, I've looked at the pic properly a few times, but as no one else has had a go I'll give it a shot... Composition is well placed, the symmetry of the figures is good, a little tighter on the right figure than the left, but it doesn't distract the eye. I like the heavily structured look (my boat pics are an example of how much) and the contrast suits the subject well, you can see the intricacies of the carving and the expressions of the faces well. The sky gives the scene a dramatic edge (though I do like the softer sky in your unfinished version too). I didn't like the mid ground for a while, I'd have rathered the house wasn't there, but after really seeing it a few times it has grown on me. I can't really find a fault, only if i was being really picky the white oblong on the right statue's plinth catches the eye slightly, but it's a minor thing really considering the overall impact of the pic and the work you have put in. It's a great shot, striking, dramatic, I like it [/QUOTE]
