Art appreciation

Another one from the Guangzhou Opera House. Wish the statue was a bit further left, and wish we could see her camera, but I only had a couple of seconds to grab this shot. That's life I guess

A very nice shot none the less!

This is really quite neat and I like the moment you've captured. I wonder if you can give it more impact with a crop?

[Bambi]

nice shot but I like iggy's crop

I guess I'll be different. While I like both of them, I think I prefer the original (uncropped) one a bit better. The cropped one looks a bit cramped to me. I like the expanse of the uncropped one.

easy to see why you took the photo ... great silhouette and shadows.

[MoinMoin]

That's a very nice play of shadow and light - well done.

I have to disagree with Iggy. I like the angular lines in the image as it is. Adds drama to it, IMHO. Only thin I would have done is lower myself on one knee to get a bit of a different POV; would have added one more angle to the scene.

Thanks for the comments! I did fiddle around with a squarish crop for a while but found it hard to decide between the two. I did like it, but eventually settled on the wider aspect showing more of the diagonal lines. I also rather liked the white almost triangle of light on the ground.

Very nice Tim, and definitely like the original with the angles leading into the depth of the photo.
