    I like this LQ - very sharp, not dark - well exposed. Nicely captured!

    If you can re-shoot - I would try a shallower DOF. That way, the statuary will really pop... The DOF doesn't need to be drastic (although, it can be.) I totally agree with both Marko and MA! Nice job!

    Thanks y'all.

    I hope I can shoot it again one day Susan and give that a try. It's about 5 hours from here though but I hope to get back and really explore the place again. I was there Christmas day so not everything was open.

    Very nice detail on the subject, and would definitely agree with Susan, as the statue really blends into the background.
    Reality is a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there!

    I hope you get the chance :-) Nice image, regardless.
