One of the more extravagant monuments at the Gillford Courthouse battlefield in North Carolina.

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

Looks like a great candidate for B&W!

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.

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