Taken in a cemetary in Praha. The figure seemed very dignified but I have no idea if it is a liking of the deceased.

U would have, I believe, better to have mived in closer to eliminate the bright spots in the background. Additionally, the print does not appear to be really sharp. Was a tripod used?
 
I don't mind the composition as it is, though I might suggest burning down the highlights at the top a bit. The statue itself doesn't seem so blurry to me, but it's a scan so I don't really know.

Jon, I do hope that is a statue of the fellow underneath. I'm not sure I'd like such a dour looking guy sitting on me for eternity unless it *was* me... :smile:

I like it.

Actually, instead of burning, you could just crop the top. Might help. Similar to Claire's suggestion I think.

Thank you both for your comments. The print is sharp, although the camera was hand-held. I blame this on the scanner (a very popular scapegoat). The comments about the crop are appreciated.
