 Here's the giant Buddha on Lantau island. After this challenge, I will upload some pictures of the 'lotus women' located around the podium where the Buddha sits. I
actually like those bronze figures better, but they are not nearly as monumental as the Buddha in size.

Note: I have uploaded the file 'Lotus Lady' in my portfolio's HK folder. The lady figure is one of a series of bronze statues that surround the Buddha.

I like the quality of the lighting, but wish it was at a different time of day so it lit the face. Or maybe this was intentional?

Despite the steep angle and bright light, you still manage to capture the tranquility embodied by this monument.

Nice color contrast. The blue sky really highlights your statue well.

Good use of natural light. Angle give a sense of size.
