Weeping Angel

chrismoore

My hometown of New Orleans has some very unique cemeteries, and one tomb in the Metairie Cemetery displays the "Weeping Angel" inside. The blue stained-glass behind and on either direction of the angel casts a beautiful blue light just before sunset. Here are three views. I appreciate any critique on the photo, and if one composition is better than the others? The light in the photo is natural, I only made minor changes with levels and contrast. Thanks for looking.

I enjoyed these Chris, the blue light works well.

The first shot works best for my amateur eye. Cool capture.

Thank you. The first shot is sort of the "classic" shot that I've seen in paintings and photos. I tried a couple of other angles as the light was very directional. Unfortunately I had to shoot through cracks in the window and door. I think it is a beautiful display, and I'm told the people that designed it did so with the light in mind.
