You got people points from me. It's an odd sort of category, 'cityscapes'. It sort of means urban landscape photography, which gives you all the skyline shots, fair enough... But it's not really a city without people, is it?

Great shot. Long may they busk.

Critique Club Review:

Color Saturation and Hue: Colors are natural and within expected parameters for this type of image.

Brightness and contrast: Overall brightness and contrast are done well.

Focus and depth of field: Focus is very sharp, and depth of field is used to good advantage to isolate a distracting background.

Shooting this image at a bit of an up angle without correcting the perspective makes it look like the statue is leaning a bit.

Using the sun for the halo is a neat idea, however it looks like it got away from you a little bit. The upper part of the hand and the cross are starting to wash out a little. I suspect that the religious tone may have hurt a bit in the voting, I would have thought this would have finished a little higher.

Nice interesting photo.

ya know, the cigarette in his mouth makes this image work--not sure why, but it does. 7

I wouldn't call this a landscape, but it is still one of my top photos.

Just a tad too much spot of sun for my taste (kind of overwhelms the top of the statue) but I do love the colortones and textures.
