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. #8839662

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! #8844037
