Hey everyone, i've just joined dp and stumbled across the same image I took last week while I was visiting my girl in New York, I've never had any training in photography and still interested in learning the basics, I took this pic of the atlas statue (5th Avenue) with a casio exilim 3.2 megapixel digi camera not the camera listed, the Olympus C8080 is my friends which I think is awesome and I'm starting to get very attached to it.

Interested in any thoughts to help me learn more about the wonderful world of photography

Nice shot of the statue. A closer vantage point and steeper upward angle might have emphasized the sense of power more. And IMHO a tall, narrow crop would also emphasize the strength represented by this statue.

Just a snapshot of a statue.

Certainly a symbol of strength. I think the composition on this one could be much better, and the focus seems a little bit off. For the composition, I would have preferred more of a portrait orientation, with less space left and right. Others may disagree, but I would also have tried to center the statue a little more with the two columns of cement behind it. A slight boost in contrast would also be helpful I think.

I find the reflections off the windows detract from this photo.

Seems leaned to the left and slightly off center (maybe just the building), would like to see more details in Atlas' Face, and maybe a polarizing filter to remove the reflections off the windows.

i think b&w might have made this a more powerful shot (as there really isn't much color anyway) and would have brought out more contrast with the subject.

like your choice, although I feel a different angle (closer up and from the side for example) would have been more powerful

Artwork. Literal photographic representations of the entirety of existing works of art (including your own) are not considered acceptable submissions, however creative depictions or interpretations are permissible. This includes, but is not limited to paintings, sculptures, photographs, drawings, and computer artwork.
