    I've moved this out of OOB thread so that you'll get more eyes and critique.

    Howdy Jerry,

    Nice shot, but I have been to Andersonville and seen the Memorial. Do you have any shots that show more of the pain and suffering that went on?

    Those 3 statues out by the Cemetery would make a really bold statement and wonderful shot.

    Looking forward to seeing more.

    Kindest Regards,

    Craig
    Take care,

    It would be better if the fingers didn't touch the border on the right hand side of the picture.

    The picture is 600 pixels wide... I think that it would show better at 800 wide.

    The picture is soft.... IMO it needs more contrast. If you can, look at the histogram and you will be able to see what is wrong. The curve is biased to the left side and climbs up the vertical axis.....

    thumb.gif Looking forward to seeing more of your work..........THANKS FOR SHARING.

    Thanks! I'm not sure how it got there in the first place. Guess my fat fingers just hit the wrong combo of buttons!

    Is this statue BRONZE?
    The image has a green/yellow sort of cast to it.
    Maybe it's meant to be that way headscratch.gif ...

    I'm agreeing with Azzaro about the hand touching the boarder.... needs more room.

    .... Skippy :D

    Not sure what the statue is made of. I'll have to do some research on it!
