That's a funny pic, with the statue holding the lights. I like the content, but I think it's a bit dark both in the background and in the shadow on the pedestal. The relief (3-D detail) in the building shows well, but again, I think a bit of lighting would help.

Very beautiful! I love the light coming from the side, the hand on the glass, de folds in the shirt. One of my favourites.

Comment by mci:
this is a very nice shot. good light, good subject. really speaks a lot. my only minor gripes would be that it's not super sharp, which doesn't bother me all that much but seems to maybe detract from it in this medium (i'm sure it looks better printed), and the fact that it seems a tad grainy. other than that, very well done. 9.

My only favourite this week. Fantastic portrait. Perfect composition and lighting. Perhaps a little too light in some parts but still a marvelous shot.

Comment by PaulMdx:
Composition: Nice use of trees to border the pic. Looks like it needs rotating though..
Technical: Nice colour and focus. I think I might have opted for a simpler border, with the use of trees.
Meets challenge: Yes
Overall impression: Nice, but the horizon angle detracts from the shot.

I really enjoy this photograph. The photo says what the title says, so I find the title very appropriate. The dark tones and directional lighting work well together here, as does your composition. 9
