It seems to me that many pictures of statues end up somewhat bland - this, for me, is one of them. Perhaps a closer crop or different shot angle would have given this shot a little more ommph, but as it is right now I find the background to be very distracting from the subject and the b&w treatment seems to make this image very flat.

I really like the high contrast - gives this a great sense of depth. The details of this shot make it very interesting to look at - the wear on the steps, the rust spots by the railing.

I actually prefer the b&w version to the color one - seems to make the water look even colder. My best friend in high school was an exchange student from Finland - I can still sing the Finnish national anthem and say a few bad words. :)

Henna

Love the high contrast on this - not only does the henna really stand out, but I love how the stitching on her skirt(?) and the details on her bracelets catch your eye too.

I love this shot - the tone is wonderful and the use of negative space really makes this shot tell a story. The lone musician in the spotlight...excellent.

edit to add, after reading some of the other comments, I have to say I really like the tilt in this shot as well would like to see the dot of light gone :)

I really like this shot - the softness with the sand really stands out against the 'graininess' of the bird (not sure if that is intentional or just how the feathers/markings appear).

Spire

Comment:
I love the processing on the sky - not too crazy about the spire though - seems a little too contrasty to me. Definitely creative though!

Lol, love his tongue! Great use of shadows to emphasize the tilt.
