Interesting shot. I lke the way the kids at the base give a sense of scale, but the seated figures under the statue's had are a distinct distraction.

I have never seen this scupture. I'm not sure that Nelson Mandela would approve all that much. It is a bit over the top. Still, I think he deserves it.
Good shot, well-taken to include such a height all in reasonable focus.

Good show of scale.

Crop it at the waist and this is a lot better. as it is, it's just a snap shot of a statue with people around it. Nothing too exciting.

I think your border intrudes on or is too close to Nelson's head at the top. Also, the people in the background detract as well (coming out the door, sitting under his left hand).

Are you in South Africa? I admire Mr. Mandela very much. There was an old song..'Freeeee Nelson MannnnDELAAA. Unique looking statue.

Too long, too skinny. I am much more interested in how these children are reacting to Mandela, than having Mandela being so strongly framed.
