Beautiful shot! Great tones and feeling in your photograph. I might have cropped a little more off the left side. I think small patch of sky under the lefts side of the tree takes away from the statue. Congratulations on a top 5.

There is a sense of magnificence to this cinematic shot.

I liked the statue and mausoleum composition idea. This shot was taken on the second day, the earlier image was shot higher. This was shot about a foot off the ground and made a stronger image.

Spent more time editing this challenge image than any other I can remember. I really wanted to edit towards a very dramatic lighting scene.

There was no sun breaking through the clouds. The lighting effect was created by dodging and burning with the idea of creating an uneven look as it would if the clouds were really thick and thin.

The background sky was more difficult than the rest, nature did not give me exactly what I wanted that day. I re-did the sky editing 2 or 3 times to get it to this look.

No Neat Image. Don't own that software yet.

Nicely done. It looks a little overprocessed for my taste, but I do like the way the building and sky turned out. It gives the composition a very dramatic look.

Great lighting and composition, though I'd prefer a closer crop.

very nice, except that the sky is boring and detracts from an otherwise excellent photo. this is almost too sharp.

On my monitor the colors look too vivid.
