    I really like the shot. My only suggestion would be to try cropping the photo at the top.

    I like this shot!
    Good idea w/ the bump. I didn't even see this.

    I'd try to get closer on the shot and show the detail of the strings.

    Very cool capture!

    wonderful i liked it
    i agree if you go closer we can see some more detail but still its like it is bagging from above . Is it ? what is it ?

    Awais it is a Statue of an American Indian titled "KEEPER of the PLAINS" by deceased Artist Black Bear Bosin.....It sits on the confluence of the Little and Big Arkansas Rivers....This is sacred ground to the Indains and Protects downtown Wichita from tornados...The confluence of the rivers protects the city not the Statue.

    Thanks for asking....everything is steel including the strings.

    I'd crop so that his head will be 2/3 in height and his figure 1/3 on the right...

    This is a really cool shot. I wish the sky were a bit more dramatic, but I still like it.

    clik pic for exif......

    Thanks for all of the PRECEEDING and FORTHCOMING C&C....Yes the sky really was this color.....it started changing quickly and even got darker and ominous but I had changed positions to try and actually get the setting sun behind him....to do that I need to be inside of a brick walled area with high tension transformers and wasn't sure I wanted to do that :D

    one thing: looks a little off though... I want to reach out and straighten the picture... but that's just me :)


    good job.

    Wow, I really like the improvement on this shot - the composition is striking and so is the sky. :)

    Impressive improvement just by re-orienting your shot and bringing in the sky. It's a keeper!thumb.gif

    What a great shot. I liked the first one, and love the second one! The color coming through the fringe almost glows. Might try cropping just a little off of the bottom so that the proportion of sky to image is more like the first shot. Beautiful.thumb.gif
