I'm still working on getting better at this. What really surprised me - I think the sky looks better in B&W than it does in color.

Helpful suggestions appreciated as usual.

Nice job with this one, Rusty

Thank you, Suzi,

The composition is a bit odd, how often do you photograph the back side of a statue. But, he was placed looking at the church named for him and the other view is simply a statue in front of a lot of trees - sorta gets lost in the clutter. I'm still thinking about the clutter on the right side. Maybe I should clone over the water tower and the low, white-roof building.

I really appreciate your comment.

Rusty

Why not just crop to the trees, alot easier than cloning.

Come on, Suzi, get real.

You think I'm gonna spend all that money for an 11mm lens and then crop the darned picture?

Rusty

Ok, ok, don't crop!!!!! That is one wide angle lens.
