This is indeed a lovely and very expressive statue, and I like very much the way you have edited the background. You have also brought out the fine textures in the bronze. I have never heard about this man before, so I also enjoyed your notes.

Your photo is also nice and sharp showing such clear and well defined details in every part of the statue, and also the exposure is perfect.

The format and the framing works well and the statue is well placed within the frame. I think this is a lovely and well taken photo with an excellent DOF, and I wish you luck with the contest.

Thanks for the great review. He was a true American pioneer in getting people to understand the value of setting aside land for public use.

That is kind of an odd pose for that statue. Looks like something is wrong with the legs. This is a good entry for the contest. Looks bronze. How did you get that background? Nice composition and framing. Thank you for sharing and best of luck with this image
