Very nice contrasting tones, composition, and use of the strong lighting. Very good exposure considering the light and shadow areas.
Good work Carlos!

An example when strong light conditions can be used to your benefit.

Great photo. I like the composition... the lighting is great... the shades also.
I like how you used the pillars for the composition.
Nice one!

Another Master piece.

Not to say that I have an opinion either way but as a philosophical art discussion type topic:
Are not photos of other people's statues the equivalent of paintings of other people's photos?

If I were to paint this photo of the statue, where would the art lay, where would copyright reside? Would there be breach and by whom?

Really nice photo by the way Carlos

beautiful light ... well done

good work.
the lighting is great.

Great lighting and statue

Beautiful tight capture

the timing is excellent with wonderful (back-) lighting

Good work Carlos.

Stunning capture; Great composition and lightning effects.

beautiful work as always
the composition is solid!

Carlos such a perfect composition.
I love the way the light is in this shot, some is also reflected from below !
The details in the dark add a nice depth to the shot
makes the statue pop out !
Top Marks Maestro !

Gr8 composition & lighting..

beautiful statues and beautiful photography. Love the lighting

I can't believe I missed this one... Well, now that I see it.. It is beautiful Carlos (Statue and photograph!)

Very nice work Carlos.

Carlos, you stunned me.
Normally I am not a big fan of "square crops", but it really works for this image. The image looks very symmetric, even though there is no real symmetry in it. (if you understand my point here)

Excellent composition!

Brilliant, well composed, exposed and framed. nice one
