| I love the angle. I'm sure you'll get comments on both sides of the likes and dis-likes, but to get people to stop, look, and think about it for a moment longer than the other shots in the challenge. Isn't that what it's all about? Beautiful work. 10 |

| Diagonal tilt adds a feeling of busy-ness and haste that the statue displays. 9 |

| Interesting tilt. It gives the image a sense of motion that would be lacking in a straight vertical orientation. Nice. 7 |

| That guy looks like he's in a hurry :-) I like how you put the tilt into the image, it does a lot for it. Good lighting (although it was taken at midday :-) and the idea to convert to grayscale was the best choice in my opinion. |

| Great composition. Capturing the clock at the top and the angle you have the statue, makes it seem like he's in a hurry to get out of the building. Beautiful shot. |

The contemporary manner (eye-level perspective / hurried determination) of the sulpture vs. the classicistic architecture alone is worth the photo. Leaving the dof large enough to include the background while concentrationg the exposure on the sculpture seems an appropiate choice. The \'tilt\' is absolutely perfect and \'works\' wonders with this otherwise fairly straightforward (no pun intended) capture. It effectively \'charges\' the subject, as if ready step out of the confines of the picture. Compositionally, the same effect seems to have also addressed a potential \'balance\' issue between sky and gables (background).
The somewhat very faint greys toward the top of the photo \'washing\' into an oblivious and white sky, still, remain a tad too undesirable, particularly since their balancing counterweights (the placque and benches, near bottom) are markedly dark.
Given the raw score of what I imagine the original shot to be, this is a very apt composition.
This remains my favourite shot in this challenge. I have found it very difficult to determine, why, exactly, I like this capture so much. I believe, it is due to a \'riveting\' but not immediately obvious tension between three elements, the gait of the subject, its facial expression and the clock. |

| Great contrast. Sharp Image. Love the camera angle too. Make the statue appear to be moving in a hurry. Good work! |

| nice work on getting him to really seem like he is moving, I think the camera tilt really helped bring this one to life. Too bad they stuck the park benches there : ), but I realize you could not have moved them lol. |

| the odd angle adds drama and motion to what would otherwise be a very conventional photo. it's almost like he's about to walk out of the picture, an effect you couldn't have gotten with a centered subject. very nice job. |

| very historic looking. I like the b/w usage here. Also, the tilt makes the photo move for me. Very nice. |
