    Hi Bernd

    Interesting shot! I do like it but I wonder if you can shoot it so you can see more of the head of the archer so give it a more graphic silhouette.

    Looks like he's about to shoot himself one of those illusive domes.

    I like your shot very much.
    I would consider to clear the trees and improve composition.
    I mean, shoot 8 10 photos at different angles with a small difference and choose the best one.
    I guess you live in Hannover then ...
    There is something near the head to the shouder, like a wire: remove it.
    Keep the sun there.
    If you want to have more work try ftilling flash. Hum... I don't think it will work. But ... ne_nau.gif
    Leave a little detail in the statue and in the dome.

    I look like a teacher but I am not. :):

    Neat Shot
    I like it. I agree the wire (bow string??) should be removed. I like the tree limbs in the picture though. Adds another layer of contrast. (organic/nature vs man-made) Pleasing to my eye.

    Well done
