Neat. Where did you get the statue? They look like a stylized version of a famous Nukuoro form often seen in Oceanic art treatises. I have some similar statues.

I keep coming back to this one and really like it. May I suggest burning in the background just a touch to really make these figures pop!

Thanks Niko! I'd really like to see the bottom edge of the front figure rather than cut off. Again, an outstanding image!

Yah, same here. I like the photo but I feel disturb the I can't see the bottom of the first statue. I keep trying to pull down on the scrollbar to look for it

well, if this is going to turn into a critique session then I'll offer my opinion.

1) On my monitor (calibrated last month) the contrast looks good. It's possible my settings have drifted.

2) To include the feet of the front statue would substantially change the composition of the photo. I believe the feelings of isolation would be less evident with the different point of view required.

Cheers,
Ian

Well, thank you to everyone! I was not expecting such a mountain of feedback from this, but it is appreciated. The clipped "feet" was certainly more a momentary lapse in checking all edges of the viewfinder, rather than conscious decision. Thank you.
