Posted: Mon Sep 03, 2007 9:25 amThis could look more impressive if you took the R/H foliage,flipped it and then planted on the L/H side.
Get rid of the walkway and people.
Of coarse you have to be into that sort of thing.
Nice image as is though.

Posted: Mon Sep 03, 2007 2:12 pmNice shot Brett. I concur with the suggested PP mods. I wish I had the talent/time to learn to do decent PP work. 
Cheers

Well don't forget to post the results if you do it ... I for one would be interested to see how it turns out..
Posted: Mon Sep 03, 2007 4:59 pmWell captured! The position of the sun behind the head really adds to it - almost like there's a halo appearing on that ugly face...
Posted: Tue Sep 04, 2007 5:52 amHi,
clever shot and I bet the sun position was no accident - definately go with the full foliage background although the people do add that element of perspective showing just how huge this statue is .
May also be worth burning/darkening the sunlight area on the base as I find the bright bits draw the eye away from the stone texture and curve detail in the legs.
Haven't been there but is it possible to get a shot from higher up - I bet the face detail would be worth the effort ?
Would also love to see it finished
