This is the best image of this sculpture I've seen so far. I really like the POV and the tonal character of it. Also, we should all have such steady hands on a 1/4 sec exposure. Is the lighting the result of reflected light off overcast sky, your WB setting, post processing or a combo of any of these? #8167756

Thanks for the kind comments; there is ambient lights coming from the ground level, and the custom white balance in raw produced the golden color. The low overcast helped also. I didn't have to change the color, just saturated it a bit.
