  Michelle- His statue makes him look like he could eat cannon balls and spit thunder. The look goes so well with the whole picture. With that sky, it has such a poverful, put the fear of God into you look. Love the composition and the way you brought the library with its columns and arches into it. The black and white has a way to give it such a dramatic scene. Gorgeous work my friend.
Have a wonderful day and enjoy.

  Good B&W photos have a focused strength and intensity that lacks, sometimes, in color photos.
This photo is an excellent example of that.
Wonderful photo, congratulations!

  Michelle,

Thanks for the history of Galusha and
your photo of him. This was a great
b/w composition, DOF, tones, and details. Could please share how you
created such a wide angle image?

Give It Your Best Shot!
