COMPOSITION/CONTENT: I think you have a very good subject that is the only thing in the shadows. A fill flash might have given your subject the light it needs to be the focal point of the photo.
BACKGROUND: The background is a little off balance with the tree on one side and the sky on the other. I would like to have seen the camera at a higher angle pointing down a little more on the subject. This would bring the trees on the right up higher in the picture balancing the background. Either that or move the camera to an angle where the background has similar weighting on both sides of the statue.
CAMERA WORK/TECHNICAL: Exposure and focus is good.
DIGITAL PROCESSING/TECHNICAL: A little sharpening may have helped around the statue's face. Color is good.
MY OPINION: Maybe all that might be needed is a fill flash. The details of the statue would have shown and may have made a great photograph. If this monument is close by it might be worth trying the same shot with a flash.
This is unusual in a memorial garden. I like the angle of the shot with the trees on one side and the graves on the other, with the statue in the middle, but the sun is not working with you here. Too much shadow on the statue. Spoiled an otherwise great shot. PTL 7
There are quite a few pictures from this challenge that are undoubtably great quality, but do not fit the challenge. The color blue is missing, but you took a wonderful shot.
the lighting is all on the background, and the subject of the picture is dark. This draws attention away from teh subject and to the background. A different time of day, or a different angle, or maybe using hte flash as filler would have helped a lot.
